Let's talk walking distance.....

I've stayed at both RP and HR, but we are considering PB for our next trip in 2011. It's the walking distance to/from parks to PB that is making me hesitant on staying there. So how far is it, in minutes, let say.
Our first stay was at RP and we didn't think the walk was too bad, but we didn't have anything to compare it to at the time. Last year, we stayed at HR and we were totally spoiled by the short walk to the parks.
We always go in August and it's hot and after being the parks all day, it can be tiring. Both my daughters have Type 1 diabetes, so it is also important to me, not to be too far away from the hotel. So with that said, if you have stayed at PB, what are your thoughts on the walk? Is it about the same distance as RP? The hotel looks so beautiful, that I'd really like to try it. Thank you.

It's a lovely property but the walk may be a bit offputting for some. THe boat is one alternative, another option if you find yourself really tired is to hire a pedicab.

If you take the shortcut, the walk is under 10 minutes to USF. It is about 13 minutes to IOA.
