There are several "Deluxe" level hotels within a 5-to-15-minute walk of EPCOT's International Gateway (the entrance located between France and the United Kingdom in the World Showcase). The primary options are Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. Additionally, the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve (operated by Marriott) are within easy walking distance. These hotels offer a unique "back door" entry to the park, allowing you to bypass the main front entrance and the monorail crowds. In 2026, these resorts are highly sought after by guests attending the "EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival," as they provide the most convenient access to the World Showcase promenade. Other resorts like Pop Century or Riviera are nearby but require a Skyliner ride rather than a walk.
