Where to Stay - Walt Disney World with Kids 2015 - page 111

The most centrally located resorts in Walt Disney World are the Epcot ho-
tels —BoardWalk Inn, BoardWalk Villas, Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, Beach
Club Villas, Swan , and Dolphin— and Coronado Springs , an Animal Kingdom
hotel. The Epcot hotels are within easy walking distance of Disney's Hollywood Stu-
dios and Epcot's International Gateway. Except at Coronado Springs, boat service is
also available at these resorts, with vessels connecting to DHS.
Caribbean Beach Resort, Pop Century Resort , and Art of Animation Resort
are just south and east of Epcot and DHS. Along Bonnet Creek, Disney's Old Key
West and Port Orleans Resorts also offer quick access to those parks.
Though not centrally located, the All-Star Resorts, Coronado Springs Resort ,
and Animal Kingdom Lodge & Villas have good bus service to all Disney World
destinations and are closest to Animal Kingdom.
LILIANE Just for the record, the Epcot resorts within walking distance of
the International Gateway are a long, long walk from Future World, the sec-
tion of Epcot where families tend to spend most of their time.
Wilderness Lodge & Villas and Fort Wilderness have the most inconvenient
transportationserviceoftheDisneyhotels.Also,busesrunlessfrequentlytoandfrom
Old Key West than they do at other Disney resorts. Spotty bus service is also a draw-
back shared by Saratoga Springs and Treehouse Villas.
