EP to HS

I'd rather rest for 40 minutes on the boat instead of sweat in the heat and add another 20 minutes of walking to my day. I'm usually not in that big of a hurry though. I have walked it on nights when I've tried to make both fantasmic and illuminations.

I think it's about a mile, maybe a little more. Takes me about 15 minutes to walk. It's a pleasant walk though.

It may be a pleasant walk in March, not so much in June, July, August, etc. There is no shade and there isn't anywhere to stop until you get to the Boardwalk.

I've walked from Yacht Club to HS in the morning to get there for rope drop and it isn't a bad walk. As others have said, it is about a mile so if you are walking midday and it if 90 degrees then it can be a hot/sweaty walk. Boat would be more relaxing but potentially slower depending on how long the wait is for the boat. The boat makes 3 stops on the way to HS.

We've walked many times and don't mind it at all, even my kids like it. The boat is nice if you need a break, but takes a long time since you stop at the resorts along the way.

We prefer the boat. We don't take breaks during the day, so the time on the boat is our break. I'd rather rest my feet and enjoy the boat ride than add another mile to the 8-10 we do per day.

Until they make a direct boat inbetween the parks and make the boats fully open to allow breeze (you only get a breeze if you get one of the few back seats out in the sun with no cover), then I'd never recommend anyone take the boats. Only way we'll ever take the boats again is if it's below 70 degrees outside.

We mostly go in September, it's never been too terrible then. No different to me than walking around the world showcase. I can see where if you had gait or mobility impairments it would not be a good option.
