Hi Celeste!
Now I get to say "silly me!!!" You would think that I would be able to infer that you meant the Beach Club Resort, since the world "Beach" was in it. I could just kick myself for my "goofy" answer - sorry!
Fortunately, the same reason that I love The Boardwalk Resort is the same reason that I LOVE the Beach Club - location,location,location! As far as walking to Epcot, even your three year old should have no problem with the four minute stroll. Disney's Hollywood Studios is a much longer walk and will take around 25 minutes - I would recommend hopping on the boat and getting there not only in less time, but in comfort! You will need to take a bus to the Magic Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom, and will get there in about 17 minutes and 26 minutes, respectively. A little word to the wise, you can certainly take the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom, but you must walk a loooong way to the front of Epcot to do so. These times may seem a little long, but trust me, you are in the most centrally located location for all of the magic!!!
Everyone in your party is sure to find tons to do within a 5 minute walk from your resort! For instance, the Boardwalk has tons of great shopping and restaurants and is just a short stroll or boat ride away. For a little friendly competition, why not walk over to the Fantasia Miniature Golf Course and play a round or two? A stay at the Beach Club isn't complete without at least one trip to Beaches and Cream - try the Kitchen Sink Sundae, if you dare!!!
Finally, did you know that you may qualify as a

Much pixie dust,
