I'll be staying at the Swan for the first time this year. I am not at all familiar with the area and I am "geographically challenged."

Could someone please provide approximate walking times & distances, for an average adult walking speed, from the Swan front door to the following destinations?

1. Epcot rear entrance,

2. Hollywood Studios,

3. The Dolphin,

4. The Boardwalk,

5. Beaches and Cream,

6. The Mini Golf (I forget the name), and

7. The Grotto Pool at the Dolphin.

Thank you in advance.
 
Just my opinion but....

1. Epcot rear entrance, 10-15 min.

2. Hollywood Studios, 20 min.

3. The Dolphin, 1 min.

4. The Boardwalk, 2 min.

5. Beaches and Cream, never walked there

6. The Mini Golf (I forget the name), never walked there either

7. The Grotto Pool at the Dolphin. 3 min.

Thank you in advance.
 
Just to fill in a couple:
Swan to B&C = 5-10 minutes
Swan to minigolf = 2-3 minutes
 
Ok, I am a pretty fit 20 something and I would give much longer walking times for a lot of these. Door to Door, Just my opinion:
1. Epcot rear entrance: 20 min

2. Hollywood Studios: 20 min

3. The Dolphin: 1 min

4. The Boardwalk: 5 min (depends where ESPN Club is 5-10 min)

5. Beaches and Cream: 10-15

6. The Mini Golf (I forget the name) 10

7. The Grotto Pool at the Dolphin: up to 5 (depending where your room is)
 

We're two adults, no kids and don't rush at Disney World. And we walk from the Swan all the time. The times listed are pretty accurate.

Just a few notes. It's the Fantasia Minature Golf Course. The Dolphin is directly across from the Swan so you can't miss that one. And the Grotto pool is actually a shared pool with the Dolphin so it's in between the two resorts.

1. About 10-15 mins.
2. About 20 mins.
3. 5 mins.
4. About 8 mins.
5. 8-10 mins.
6. 5 mins.
7. 5 mins.

You have to understand that the Swan is right across a courtyard from the Dolphin, and the two resorts share the pool area. The pool area is equidistant (pretty much anyway) between the two.
Then, if the Swan/Dolphin are at 12:00 on the clock, with the lake in the middle, you have YC/BC at about 2-3:00, International Gateway to Epcot at about 5:00, BW from 6:00-9:00. It's just the one big loop.
With Hollywood Studios, you can either take the boat or walk. I usually walk because it tends to be quicker unless the boat is right there, loading as you approach.
