Disney's Boardwalk, where is it?

oh I must have misread; I thought we had to enter epcot at one side, leave the other, then walk over to the boardwalk

You would have to enter at the front gate of Epcot walk to the back of the park and exit at the International Gate. So you would have to use a park day/ticket to get to the Boardwalk if you try to get to the BW by going to Epcot. If you don't want to use a taxi or uber take a bus to DHS then walk or take the boat to the BW or go to Disney Springs and get on a BW bus.
