Unfortunately, no, its not possible to walk from the Caribbean Beach Resort to Epcot. We often drive to Walt Disney World and always struggle with this same question: To Drive or Not to Drive!

No walk can give you the bird's-eye view you will experience while traveling with the Disney Skyliner, so I am happy to share that although it is not possible to walk from Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort to Disney's Hollywood Studios, both destinations are conveniently connected by this state-of-the-art gondola system.
Plus, the Disney Skyliner station at International Gateway at EPCOT is conveniently located just a short stroll away from Disney's BoardWalk entertainment district, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort and Disney's BoardWalk Inn.
If you've never walked along Disney's BoardWalk before, you are in for a treat. EPCOT's International Gateway entrance is just a five to ten-minute walk to Disney's Boardwalk. Along the BoardWalk, you'll find shops, dining, classic arcade games, and Surrey bikes for rent.
Disney's Yacht & Beach Club: 0.3 miles from Epcot (10 minutes); 1.2 from Hollywood Studios (20-25 minutes) Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, & Swan Reserve: 0.5 miles from Epcot (10-15 minutes); 0.8 miles from Hollywood Studios (15-20 minutes)
If you are able to walk past all of the tempting pavilions, (what willpower!) your trip around World Showcase is about 1.3 miles. Sooo, considering the fact that you may have strollers and other obstacles in your way, I would allow 30 minutes just to be safe.
Disney Skyliner TransportationThis new gondola system offers a bird's-eye view while connecting Guests to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios from select Disney Resort hotels—including Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.
Once you are on Disney Property, transportation is complimentary on buses, monorails, boats, and of course the Disney Skyliner. If staying on property, feel free to hop on transportation and make any needed transfers to get to a resort on the Skyliner route to start your adventure.
In general, you can expect the Skyliner to begin running about an hour before EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios open, and to stop running about an hour after those parks close, but there is significant variability in this.
Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT are two of my favorite parks. I actually like to explore both parks in one day and them being so close together makes this especially easy. I think you'll be happy to know that you can still absolutely walk from Disney's Hollywood Studios over to EPCOT or vice versa if you prefer.
The “central hub” and transfer spot is the station at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. The Caribbean Beach Resort station is considered an “end of the line” station, meaning you'll need to get off here and then transfer to the routes that'll take you to the other destinations.
Since there is no direct transportation from any Disney Park to Disney Springs, the only way you can get there is by catching a Disney Resort bus to the hotel then connecting to Disney Springs. The good thing is that you can connect at every Disney Resort.
Anyone can ride the Skyliner; you don't have to be staying at a Disney Resort. Probably the easiest way to catch a ride on the Skyliner (if you aren't staying at a resort with a station or if you are staying offsite) is to board at either Hollywood Studios or Epcot.
When you take the Disney Skyliner to EPCOT, you will exit the Disney Skyliner at the EPCOT International Gateway. The EPCOT International Gateway is located in EPCOT'S World Showcase area.
EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.
While you might not be able to get absolutely everything in the park done in a day (with the near-constant stream of Epcot festivals, there's often just too much to see, do, and eat), you will certainly be able to accomplish most or all of the rides, plus make a dent in whatever else strikes your fancy around World ...
In general, you should think of Epcot as a two-day park. There's so much to see and do that you really need a couple of days to enjoy everything without feeling like you're rushing through the park. But we recognize that most people can't or won't give two of their precious days at Disney to Epcot.
