What Disney resorts are in walking distance to Epcot?

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)



There are several luxury resorts at Walt Disney World located within a very short walking distance to Epcot’s "International Gateway" entrance, situated between the UK and France pavilions in the World Showcase. These include Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Disney's Beach Club Resort, and Disney's Yacht Club Resort. Additionally, the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve hotels are also part of this walkable loop. The walk from these resorts typically takes between 5 to 15 minutes, allowing guests to bypass the main entrance crowds and the monorail or bus systems. This area, known as the Epcot Resort Area, is highly coveted by travelers because it also provides easy walking access to Disney's Hollywood Studios via a dedicated path or a short boat ride. Staying at one of these properties offers the unique convenience of being able to pop into Epcot for dinner or fireworks and walk back to your room in minutes, making them some of the most logistically advantageous accommodations on the property.
