Getting to Epcot from Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel is one of the most convenient commutes on property. You have three primary options: Walking, which takes about 10–15 minutes along a paved path past the BoardWalk and into Epcot’s "International Gateway" entrance between the UK and France pavilions. Friendship Boats, which depart from the shared dock between the Swan and Dolphin and drop you off at the same International Gateway (a 5-10 minute relaxing ride). Disney Skyliner, which can be accessed by walking to the nearby International Gateway station to head to other parks or resorts, though it doesn't take you "to" Epcot from the Dolphin since the Dolphin is already at Epcot's doorstep. Note that there is no bus service from the Dolphin to Epcot, as the walking/boat distance is considered too short for traditional bus logistics.
