Dolphin to EPCOT walk

[magical memories]

Does anyone know how long it takes to walk from the Dolphin to EPCOT?

 

[bicker]

About 10 minutes.

It's a 10 minute walk to Epcot, and it is a very nice walk. You can either walk past the Yacht and Beach Club, or past the Boardwalk (walking time is the same). Enjoy!!

About 15 minutes - but it you stroll along slow give it 20-25 minutes.
Very nice walk.
Stay on the path on the Dolphin side.
Make a left off the back entrance, before the boat docks.
Go past the Yatch Club on your left.
Then the SAB pool - fun to see.
Past the shipwreck (part of SAB).
Past the Lighthouse (Y/BC boat dock).
Past the Beach Club.
Then you are just a few feet from the EPCOT entrance - actually the World Showcase boat entrance - you come in around United Kingdom (on your left) and France on your right, across the foot bridge.
If World Showcase is not open (I think around 11 am) - then the CM's will let your walk by the countries to Future World.
Park tckets are checked at this entrance.
Stroller rentals and main information is where the bus/monorail entrance is located in World Showcase.

Do the same backwards to walk back from EPCOT's fireworks at night.
The path is well lit - the whole night.

One reason is the Boardwalk across the water from the Dolphin.
Many nightclubs are open late on the Boardwalk.
Also a great place to rent a bike, have an after dinner dessert or just walk around and burn off some calories from the day

If you are a pre-dawn riser, you will see CM's cleaning the paths, doing gardening, quietly mowing lawns, etc. Also the reasons for path lights to be on, all night.

Thanks! Have you stayed at the Dolphin before. This will be our first time.

Thanks! We have stayed at the Y & BC several times and are familiar with that walk but had no idea what the walk was from Dolphin. Do you think it would be shorter to go by the Boardwalk way instead of the Y & BC? cant wait, cant wait, cant wait!

We stayed at the Dolphin on our last visit (loved it!) and the walk to EPCOT was very nice. Probably does not matter which way you go (via BW or YC), but we walked by the BW each morning so we could stop by the BW Bakery for a pastry - yum! Enjoy your stay!

We've stayed at the Dolphin twice, both times on business. (Do keep in mind that it is a major convention center. That has both positive and negative aspects...)
