We make this walk several times each stay at the YC. Its about 15 minutes, and thats with our 11 and 9 year olds. Very easy walk. Never crowded either. Much faster than the boats too.

Walk from DHS to Yacht Club...?

If you aren't planning on seeing the stage show part of the frozen fireworks, then you can see the fireworks from the benches outside of HS near the boat launch. We did this on our last night. It was a much better view than the one we had as part of the premium package we paid for earlier in the trip. And we were the only people there watching! We then made the easy walk back well ahead of the crowds. There was already a very long line for the boats however since fantastic ended just before the fireworks began.

If you leave after the Frozen show I suggest walking. Even at a leisurely pace you're looking at 20 minutes. We walk it about 99% of the time. If you see a boat leave your walk will be over by the time another one arrives and gets you over to Swan/Dolphin stop. It's also a great way to get some nice night time DHS pics from across the water on the way out.

Unlike most on this thread, we always take the boat to/from DHS to/from the boardwalk area. I just don't want to walk after walking in the park all day - and I love being on the water. It's just calming.
That being said, I would avoid the mad rush to the boat and the oodles of people wanting to get on said boat at closing. Negates everything I stated previously.

as long as we're comparing times from yacht club to DHS, i could use some advice.
staying at YC, want to get to DHS as quickly as possible. I figure the boats are really slow, but do you think walking is faster, or walking to my car, driving to DHS, and then parking towards the front in the handicapped parking, and walking in. (actually by walking, I mean, my family walk and me drive my rental ECV due to severe knee injury and no time to buy a new one before the trip).
this has been an ongoing debate amongst the family.
thanks for any insight.

A few years ago we stayed at BC and both my parents had rental ECV that the rode while we walked next to them from HS back to the hotel. Faster than taking the boat

You are better off walking( or scooter driving) from the Yacht Club rather than driving your car to the Studios. If you drive your car you have to walk to the hotel parking, load the scooter, drive to the park, hope there is a handicapped spot available, park the car, unload the scooter and walk to the entrance. Definitely not a fast way to go.
I use a scooter and have stayed at the Boardwalk Inn. It was no problem to get to the Studios using the walkway. You can use the boat, but that is usually slower than walking as there are other hotel stops. It is a pleasant boat ride, except if it is very crowded. It is also a pleasant walk unless you are trying for a ten minute mile. It does take most people about twenty minutes to walk a mile.

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
You can go in "park" attire just not cut offs etc. We have gone to all the signatures in our regular park clothes many times. You will see people in shorts, jeans, dress pants etc a huge mixture! Lol. The only place that is strict about dress code is Victoria's and Alberts.

You'll be warmer on the boat as opposed to walking.....I have not found the friendship boats to be "cooling friendly".....lol. The walk is right by the water for most of the trek so it's actually not bad even in the heat.

We did this walk a few times last week. If you take it nice and slow so you don't break a sweat, you'll make it to Yachtsman by 9:20. It will definitely be faster than the boat.

You said it. We started our drive back home after lunch yesterday. Supposedly the cool off begins today and it'll still be upper 80s. Sat nite cooled off after a storm but we were in such a mad dash to hit our fast passes before our dinner reservations at Be Our Guest we almost didn't notice.
