Epcot - MGM . . . can I take a boat?

[kilarney]

Is it possible to take a boat between MGM and EPCOT without making a stop somewhere in between? We would MUCH rather do this than the bus. How much longer does it take?
Thanks!

All the Friendships between MGM and Epcot make stops at the hotels along the way (BW, Y&B, S&D) tp pick up/discharge passengers. There are no non-stop boats that I know of.

The trip is relaxing and time-wise isn't bad.

Because of the three stops the trip takes about 35 minutes. You can walk it somewhat faster (25 to 30 minutes). Quickest combination is walk and boat. If coming from MGM to Epcot, the longest walk is from MGM to the Epcot Resorts (about 20 minutes); thus catch the boat at MGM and take it to Swan/Dolphin which is the the first stop (takes 8 minutes). Then walk over the walking bridge from there to BW, down the boardwalk, and to Epcot (takes 10 minutes)
