Considering a stay at this hotel and wondered how long a walk it is to Epcot. Also curious how long it takes to get to Beach Club/Yacht Club and how does one get to Hollywood Studios. I've always stayed at Magic Kingdom properties and so this is completely foreign to me. Thanks for your help.
 
It can vary a bit on where exactly your room is. In general I'd say it's about a 10 minute walk to EPCOT and a 15 minute walk to HS. You can also take a boat to HS. To walk to HS you will go along the boardwalk, then turn left at the dancehall and then another left to walk along the backside of the rooms. You can also go from the pool directly over to that walk way.

The Beach/Yacht club are probably a 10 minute walk, depending on where exactly you're trying to get to within them.
 
From YC it takes about 10 mins to walk to Epcot's back gate. Walking from YC to HS took me 20 mins at a good clip, keep in mind I am short. It is a mile walk and not one I would make in high heat or rain. But it is faster to walk than to take the boat which goes at a snail pace and makes multiple stops.
 
EP--A little overview of the area. Basically, leaving EPCOT International Gateway, you head toward the EPCOT resorts, you cross a bridge--if you stay straight (a little to the right), you come to Beach Club (5 minutes) first and then continuing around the lake, Yacht Club is next, then the Dolphin, then the Swan (both Dolphin and Swan are a little further off the lake), continuing around the lake, you come to the Boardwalk (first Villas and then the Inn). Now, if instead of staying straight or slight right when you crossed the bridge from EPCOT, you took a left after the bridge, you would come to the Boardwalk first (Inn, then Villas--maybe 10 minutes).

HS--Running right along the side of the Villas is the walkway to Hollywood Studios--I would say a 15 minute walk or so to the main gate or you can take the boat, but it seriously takes less time to walk for the most part--the boat is pretty darn slow--imo. Boardwalk Villas are really the closest to HS of any of the EPCOT resorts.

Hope this helps and I haven't confused you at all.

My last stay was at the Boardwalk (Inn, not Villas) and I absolutely loved it!

These would be my estimates as well.
