International Gateway-tell me about it please

[8 Ears]

We have never made it over to the Gateway. Tell me what is there. It looks like there is at least a little shopping. Also, what about the boats to resorts?
Thanks a bunch

It's located between UK and France. You can either walk to the resorts or take a boat. The boats are to the left after the turnstiles. The boat stops at Yaht and Beach Club, Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin. Each resort has a separate boat launch from the Epcot one that heads to MGM.

Thanks!

Could you do a "round trip" on the boats.

This is supposed to be a "relaxing" vacation

You could do a round trip if you want. The boats move very slowly & the seats are kind of hard - but the trip is beautiful. I ,personally, enjoy strolling around Crescent Lake to enjoy the same view.

The International Gateway is just the entrance to Epcot from the Boardwalk and for guests at Epcot area resorts. If you exit through the gateway, you can walk to your left to the Boardwalk. There is a little bit of shopping there and lots of fun carnival type attractions on the weekends and during peak season. There are also some great restaurants. You can catch the boat right there when you leave Epcot to the Boardwalk, the resorts, or even to MGM. It's a great alternative to the bus.
