How to get to Beach club from Epcot?

[MomtoEmIs&Ow]

I read on the boards that there is NO buses from Beach Club/Boardwalk to & from Epcot? So what are our options? Do we just walk? If so how long does this take? Is there a boat or anything? Thanks for any help!

Yach & Beach Clubs are both located within walking distance of the International Gateway entrance of Epcot.

The walk takes about 5 minutes (depending on your walking speed, and what part of YC your room is in, etc).

Alternatively, there is also a boat called the Friendship Launch, which runs a loop around Crescent Lake to all of the Epcot resorts, MGM, and Epcot. The boat takes longer, but it's a pleasant ride if the weather is hot. I highly recommend taking the boat at least once during your stay, just for the beautiful views from the middle of the lake.

It's also possible to walk to MGM, but that walk is much longer and has no shade along the way, so I advise against it; the boat to MGM is air-conditioned.

If you are staying at the BC, walk. Taking the boat is not only longer, it is also just as much walking (the boat drops you off at the YC. the walk from the YC dock to the BC is almost as long as the walk from the IG to the BC.

Now if you are staying at the BW, the boat may be longer but it saves about a 1/4 mile of walking.

from the closest wing of BC, the walk into the 'back door' of EPCOT is 3 minutes at most. Maybe 5 minutes from middle of the resort.
I agree that depending on where you start from, you could be walking just as much (and in the opposite direction) by going to the boat dock, from BC.

BW, if the boat was there when you walked by, that would save some walking, and gets you there about the same time.

I always try to walk from the closest wing to Epcot no matter where my room is located. It's nice to get that extra few minutes of AC and soft, carpeted hallway before walking outside
