Welcome Home, Garry!
And a great big beautiful welcome to planDisney. How exciting that you are planning ahead for your Disney vacation next year. It sounds like EPCOT might be one of your favorite theme parks. It is our family's favorite park as well, and we love staying in the Disney's BoardWalk area so that we can be within walking distance to both EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Garry, you are correct.
Disney's Beach Club Resort and
Disney's BoardWalk Villas are the two Disney Vacation Club properties from which you can walk into the World Showcase entrance to EPCOT. You can also walk to Disney's Hollywood Studios, but it is a bit further of a walk - about 20 minutes. But I like to walk off my Mickey pretzels, so I don't mind it. Disney's Yacht Club Resort is also within walking distance, but it is not a Disney Vacation Club property.
If you like to fly to Resorts, Disney's Riviera Resort is a DVC property not far from EPCOT. In fact, you can use the
Disney Skyliner to get to the World Showcase entrance in EPCOT.
Garry, if you do stay at one of the BoardWalk area Resorts, be sure to stop by
The Cake Bake Shop. This lovely, whimsical restaurant is fairly new. You can dine, grab a to-go piece of cake, or book the Roses of Gold Afternoon Tea. It's a lovely addition to any Disney vacation.
I hope this helps you, Garry! If you have any further questions, soar back here to see me and I'll be so happy to help you.
Have fun making magical memories!
Keri
