Welcome Home Beverly, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
You are about to stay at a fantastic Resort! You are a Stormtrooper’s walk away from
Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the brand new
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (opening Labor Day weekend)! As one of the Epcot Resorts,
Disney’s Beach Club Villas is also a quick walk away from
Epcot’s International Gateway and the World Showcase. One of our favorite things to do is to spend the day in the Parks, head back to the Resort for a break, and then walk to the World Showcase for a
Quick Service dinner.
I highly recommend walking to the
Garden Grill Restaurant in the morning. I love the World Showcase before all of the attractions open. I feel like I am walking through a European/Canadian/Asian town square! It’s about a 15-20 minute leisurely walk (as long as you don’t get distracted by all the sites along the way!). You can also take a 5-minute boat ride from
the Resort to the International Gateway, which will shave a bit off your stroll.
If you prefer
bus transportation, plan on about a 30-40 minute journey. It will take about 20 minutes to get from the front of the hotel to Epcot’s main entrance, and then you will have about a five-minute walk to
The Land. Disney’s bus transportation starts approximately one hour before Park open. Finally, if you want to arrive like a VIP, hail a
Minnie Van through the Lyft app! The ride will take about 15 minutes by car, so should be about a 20-minute journey total.
Beverly, after all of these travel options, I’m sure you will be ready for
Chip’s Sticky Bun Bake! Quick note, make sure to account for the time at security - plan for an additional five to ten minutes at least.
Bon appétit!
