Compare size of Bay Lake/7 Seas to Epcot area resort lakes?

[Greg Wright]

Can anyone help me compare the sizes of different bodies of water in WDW? (Because I'm trying to decide where to stay.) How does Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon compare with the bodies of water near Swan and Dolphin?

Does anybody know of an online map that really shows to scale both?

Wow 2 lake questions in one day

Bay Lake and 7 seas are conected by a small aquaduct that runs over the road to the CR. Bay lake is the largest body of water on WDW.

Cresent Lake (has swan dol, BW, YBC) is much smaller. It has an odd shape that wraps around the BW resort creating a canal like body of water that is used to get to MGM.

Cresent Lake is conected to World Showcase Lagoon but rental boats are not permitted past the bridge that connects BW to BC.

Bay Lake is about 450 acres (surface) and the Seven Seas Lagoon is about 200 acres. In comparison, Crescent Lake is only about 25 acres.

If this link doesn't work, than just go to mapquest and put in Lake Buena Vista for the address and type FL in state.
Then when the map pops up at the top of the map you hit the tap that lists aerial photo.
