Can you walk from DHS to EP?

[amym2]

Is it possible to walk from DHS to EP or vice-versa? How long would it take? What's the best route?

If we left EP from WS, how long a walk is it to Beach Club? I'd like to look around there, just curious if we might like to stay there on a future trip.

If we did that, then is it best to take a bus to DHS? Or can we walk that part also? How long does that walk take?

Yes it is possible. It's about a 5-10 min walk from the International Gateway exit to BC. From BC the only ways to get to DHS is to walk approx 20 min or take the boat. The path to DHS runs next to BW, so you have to either cross over to BW from BC or head towards SD and cross over to BW from there. It's basically the same either way.

...or take the boat.

The boats are not stopping at BC because of a dock rehab. They should be back by late this month.

In the meantime, the boats are stopping at EC, BW, Swan/Dolphin, and DHS; and there is temporarily bus service between YC, BC, & DHS.

It's a little over a quarter miles from the turnstiles at IG to the lobby of the BC.

You would not want to take the Friendship Boat from the Epcot International Gateway to the Beach Club. The walk from the Epcot exit to the Beach Club is maybe 5-7 minutes. The boat is much longer as it docks near the Yacht Club. You would then have to walk back towards Epcot to reach the Beach Club. Even if a boat is waiting when you exit Epcot the walk is much faster.

The walk from Epcot to DHS is something like 15-20 minutes depending on how fast you walk. It's a nice walk if the weather is good. Otherwise you would want to take the boat.

Exit the WS, and just walk straight for a bit...should take about 5 mins. BC will be on your right after you pass the bridge (on the left) going to BW and DHS. You can poke around at BC, then walk to DHS from there. If it were me, I would retrace my steps back to that bridge...will now, obviously, be on your right. Go over the bridge. When you get to the Village Green, across from the boat docks at BW, head left. Head to Wyland Galleries, on the right. There is a 'tunnel' there, go through and out to the pool area. Cross the pool area, and exit behind it...there's the walkway to DHS. It should take about 15 mins to walk to DHS from BW..at a nice normal pace. If walking right from Ws, add about 5-7 mins.
