Path from BCV to Epcot and SAB Toys?

[haleofafamily]

What is the quickest path to take from BCV to Epcot? I seem to remember reading about a certain door to exit and path to take to get there faster.
Also, should I bring any floatation devices for SAB?

It isn't really a path, I believe it's a cement sidewalk, so it's easy to find. Just go out through the Beach Club on the side by the lake, and it's less than a 10 minute walk from there to the International Gateway entrance of Epcot.

I'm pretty sure you can use the arm floaties, but not inflatable rings unless they are see-through. They don't like to have a lot of pool toys because it obscures the lifeguards vision of people in the water.

You don't have to go through the BC. As you exit the main entrance to BCV and start walking toward BC, there's a sort of gazebo with benches. Turn left and walk through the gazebo. When the sidewalk dead ends, turn right, and follow the sidewalk around the outside of BC. The sidewalk comes out at the base of the hill you walk over to get to Epcot. If you prefer to walk level, go slightly to the right, and across the walkway you'll see a small path going to the left and under the overpass. This path brings you out the same place as walking up and over the hill. Either way, you're at International Gateway in about 5 minutes.

The walk from the main lobby to the backdoor of Epcot is probably closer than some of the bus stops to park entrances, so I wouldn't worry about room location in relation to Epcot.

We have brought our own pool rings with us to use at SAB and never had a problem. They are clear, though. If you bring some, make sure they are transparent.
