U can walk to the Boardwalk from Epoct and it is a very short walk. Hope this helps

Walking from Epcot to the BoardWalk is very do-able. You exit via the International Gateway between France and the UK and it's a 10 minute, very pleasant walk (or you can take the water taxi).

As for parking at the BW and walking to Epcot - that's a definite maybe. You'll get different answers. Again, we often do this (or a variation - the Beach Club is the closest hotel to Epcot), but I've been flamed on these boards for admitting so on the basis that only guests of the resort should park there. I have absolutely no qualms about doing it - we've spent literally tens of thousands of pounds at WDW over the years. And we only do it if we want to eat at one of the Epcot resorts, not just for the sake of it (we don't pay for parking at the parks anyway as we're AP holders so there would be little benefit).

If you drive to the BW and tell security at the parking lot barrier that you have come for a look around the BW, you will be let in (you will need photo ID) and given a 3 hour parking permit. You can do this at any Disney resort, but Disney advertises the BoardWalk as a destination in itself (along the lines of Downtown Disney), so no reason to feel guilty about taking up a space in the parking lot as Disney encourages you to do so. We often eat at the BW and then walk to Epcot, or vice versa.

Another option for parking at the Boardwalk is to use the overflow car park just across the road, facing the main entrance. It adds a couple more minutes to the walk down to the Boardwalk itself but you won't need to worry about getting a 3 hour parking passes as there is no manned entry point.

we often go to the boardwalk for a little mooch around and then end up going on to Epcot. We are ap holders so dont pay for parking, but usually when we go to the boardwalk we valet park anyway. - so we are actually paying an additional $10 to disney!! So, I dont feel at all bad for doing it...

If we are only going to future world, of course we always park at the front of Epcot, but if not we often park at the Boardwalk.
