I'd say it takes about 25 minutes. We normally take the boat there, but walk when we come home if there is a big line and no boat in site. Pleasant walk along the river.
I guess it depends on where your Villa is at. We stayed at YC a couple of times, were closer to the DS side than the EPCOT side. I think it took us 15min, but we walk quickly.
It really is a lovely walk and faster than the boat.
It normally takes about 12 mins from BW, and about 18 from BC. I've been way back in BCVs before, but found little shortcuts. I do tend to walk at a fairly quick pace though.
Ang person walks about 3.1 mph, the distance is approx 1.1 miles (22 minutes or so). Add in a couple extra for leisure purposes and 25 minutes should over it.
We walked it with kids from the Beach Club in about 20 mins. There were times we stopped to look at ants or a rabbit on the pathway..lol Got to love looking at life from a kid's perspective!
I just want to add my little "pet peeve" about the walkway. There are no benches so make sure you are ready to walk the entire way. And take a water bottle as there are no water fountains either. I love the walk but have to think about the "hike" if it's hot and I'm tired.
