I'm trying to find out the easiest/simplest way to get to the Boardwalk and Jellyrolls. We will be heading there from the Nick Hotel. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.
If you are already in Epcot it is the closest. However if you are taking a bus from your hotel heading just to the Boardwalk, without going into a park, catch the bus to MGM and then get on the boat to the Boardwalk. If you take the bus to Epcot, you have to go into epcot to walk to the boardwalk.
The best way is to follow the directions to Epcot.
It will be I 4 west from Universal to Disney. Take the Epcot exit and follow the signs to Epcot resorts and then the Boardwalk. Once at the Boardwalk, you can valet park for 7 bucks plus tip or self park across the street.
If you will be going from the Nick Family Suites across 536 from the big Marriott you will head onto 536 and turn left toward WDW. Once you get on Disney property make the second right turn, which will loop around and then you will be on Buens Avista Drive. Follow that past the Caribbean Beach Resort and the Fire Station. As soon as you pass the Hess Gas Station make a right turn and the entrance to BOarwalk will be almost immediately on your left.
