Good idea or not? (Boardwalk/EPCOT

[dreamergirl78]

Ok, here's my thought process. I want to devote one day to tour FW at EPCOT. The next day devote to WS so we can do the Kidcot stations, see the shows, etc. Since WS does not open on the 2nd say until 11am, I was thinking about going to Boardwalk and looking around (if it would even be worth it) then taking the boat to EPCOT and touring WS. We have 2:50 ADR's for Le Cellier on the second day. So we might have to do some backtracking and/or use the boats at EPCOT to shuttle us back and forth.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

Just to let you know there isn't that much over at Broadwalks. There are a few Disney shops (2 I think) and everything else is pretty much food places. They do rent out bikes on the front though but other than that there isn't much there.

The surrey bikes are a TON of fun - we rented one last summer and had a hoot!

We stayed at the Swan, had breakfast at the Dolphin and took the boat to Epcot. It made a stop at the Boardwalk. It is true that there isn't much but if you enjoy the boat ride and want to see the hotels in the area, it's doable. I found the boat ride a bit long so we walked that evening back to the hotel. We had a 2:30 lunch at Le Cellier and really enjoyed it.

If you do decide to do Boardwalk, you don't need to take the boat back to the International Gateway in WS, its a 5 minute walk and much quicker than waiting on the boat.

There are a few games along with the shops and restaurants on the Baordwalk. I'm not really sure how worth the time it would be, but the few hours before WS opensis more than enough to see it all.

Thanks everyone. I guess I kind of look at EPCOT at two parks almost so maybe that is why I feel comfortable breaking them up. I am trying to fine tune everything right now and I REALLY appreciate the advice.
Maybe instead of going to Boardwalk we will just sleep in a bit and have an easy morning before heading to WS!
It is really fun planning, but I am getting way stressed knowing we leave in a few weeks! I'll be glad when we get there!

In the morning, there isn't much to do at the Boardwalk. None of the little vendors are open yet, they usually open at dusk. You can always rent a surrey bike, like others have posted. They are fun. Watch out, there are 2 fairly big hills you have to climb. And you can always grab a yummy pastry from the Boardwalk Bakery too. They are delicious.

And the boat from the Boardwalk to Epcot is a waste. It's barely a 5 minute walk to Epcot.
