Hey there, we have breakfast at 8am at the Beach Club and then are planning to spend the day at Epcot. (our hotel is Caribbean Beach). Two questions:

Whats the best way to get from Caribbean Beach to the Beach Club?

Can we take the boat from Beach Club to Epcot? Where will it let us off?

This is our first trip staying on property and not our normal time share.

I'll answer part 2.

The easiest way to get from the Beach Club to Epcot is to walk. 5 to 10 minutes to the International Gateway entrance to Epcot. From there you can walk through the UK and Canada to FW and on round to Norway if you have an FEA fp.

Or you can get the boat. You would actually need to walk away from Epcot towards the Pier opposite the Yacht Club, which is just next door to the Beach Club. The boats go in both directions, so you need the Epcot boat which docks right by the IG. IMO not worth the hassle! Much quicker to walk. By the time you'd reached the end of the pier, even if a boat was already waiting it would be longer than walking. And about the same amount of walking too. ;)

As for part 1 of your question. Really the best way would be Uber or taxi. You could take a bus to DHS and then walk (about 20 minutes stroll). I don't know if the buses to DHS would be running that early though. Now in a couple of years time you could take the gondola ..... :)

Actually, the boat to Epcot is even worse than that, since after it leaves Yacht Club it goes to Boardwalk before Epcot. By the time you walk to the boat, wait, board, stop at Boardwalk and then on to Epcot, you could probably have walked three round trips between Beach and Epcot...

I also vote for Uber or taxi to get to Beach Club.

When we aren't staying at BC, but have an ADR there, we've taken a taxi and it was a lot easier and quicker. We love the walk to Epcot from the BC. It is a little over 5 minutes, and a lot quicker than the boat.

My vote is consistent with those above- Uber or Lyft to Beach Club. We did this last year from Poly for breakfast and it was absolutely the way to go. And, walk from BC to Int'l gateway. The gate is open, and in fact, Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie opens at 9am in France, so parts of the World Showcase are open. It's only about a 5-10 minute walk (depending on your pace) from BC to the gateway, and it's a nice easy stroll.

Actually last stop before Epcot IG is Yacht/Beach Club. With that said, I'd still recommend walking :)

Hi, @LithiumBill , we recently had to go from AKL to BC for bkfst ADR at 08:45, took Uber, cost $7.plus tip, fast, easy, called for them and they were in the check in area at AKL in 5 minutes. Breathing easy we arrived without beaking a sweat or the piggy bank. Would def. do it that way again. Best of luck!
