Hey there, Marie!
Welcome to planDisney! I like the way you are thinking in choosing a Walt Disney World Resort hotel that is close to EPCOT. In real estate, it’s all about “location, location, location.” As a real estate attorney, I understand this universal truth very well. So we can absolutely figure out which
Disney Resorts Collection hotel might be your best bet based upon distance.
I wish I was at EPCOT right now so I could pull out a pedometer and actually figure this answer out down to the steps! But I do know for a fact that
Disney’s Beach Club Resort is the closest option to EPCOT, followed closely by
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. Also for your consideration would be the Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin Resorts (even though they are not considered part of the Disney Resorts Collection.)
Two more selling points for Disney’s Beach Club and Disney’s Yacht Club Resorts: 1) one of the best pools in all of Walt Disney World is
Stormalong Bay; and 2) the fabulous
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, known for its signature Kitchen Sink sundae wows Guests with a sweet tooth. Bring plenty of family and friends to eat this one!
Now that we’ve settled on the nearest hotels, you can save those steps for the theme parks instead of trekking from faraway resorts. I always break my step count record when I am at Walt Disney World, but that just means I can enjoy all the awesome food knowing I am getting my exercise in! Feel free to stroll back over to planDisney if we can be of further assistance.
