Hi All! We are going the end of November and have dining reservations at Cape May. We have never been to the Cape May or the Beach Club for that matter. We will be at Hollywood studios that day, how do we get to the beach club and about how long does it take?

After we eat dinner, I plan on catching the bus to either EPCOT (closes at 9:30) or Magic Kingdom (Closes at 12-if it's after 9:30). Then catching the bus to our Resort Coronado Springs-is that the best way you think??

I appreciate all your help!
 
You could walk, but it's probably a mile or so.

We take the boat..its a wonderful 10 or 15 minute ride.

And we Love Cape May!

Also, it's a 5 minute walk from the Beach Club to Epcot...no bus necessary.

You can take the boat, or walk. The walk will take about 20 mins. The boat is a tad longer, but not much. But...that's not including any waits for the boat to get there.if you walk....exit the park, stay to the left, canal right there on your left, buses/parking lot to the right. Walk down the walkway, beside the parking lot, canal on your left and you will come to signage to Boardwalk. Take that left. When you get to the end of the sidewalk, right behind Boardwalk, go left and away from BW. Immediate right and over the bridge. You'll pass YC. Keep too g past the main pool area, and then left into BC.

There will be no bus to Epcot from BC. Just exit BC, of left and walk over crest, down it and you're at the International Gateway...back door to Epcot. Takes about 8 mins. Walk through and get a bus. Or, bus to MK and transfer there.
 
As the PP said, the two most common options are to either take the Friendship boat or walk. The Friendship boat will first go to Swan/Dolphin and then the Yacht Club/Beach Club. I would allow about 30-45 minutes for this (just in case you miss the boat and have to wait for the next one). The ride itself is only about 15 minutes, but boats only depart DHS every 15-20 minutes and at closing, the line can get long. Alternatively you can walk; it's about 1.5 miles.

As the PP said, there are no buses to Epcot (unless, I think, the Friendship boats are docked due to lightning storms). You would have to have park hoppers to enter Epcot (via International Gateway) and then walk through the park to the buses at the front. I think it's fun, but it's not necessarily the fastest/least walking option. Otherwise, you can take the bus to MK or DTD (not my favorite option) and then transfer to CSR; I think that would take about an hour or more. Alternatively, you could just catch a taxi at the Beach Club and head directly back to CSR. That'll be the fastest route (I would guess it'd be about $20 plus tip).
