Epcot Resort Area Hotels
This is one of the most convenient areas to stay at Walt Disney World, especially if EPCOT is part of your plan. Several of these resorts are within walking distance of EPCOT, and the area also offers easy access to Disney’s Hollywood Studios by walking, boat, or Skyliner depending on the resort.
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Best for: A quieter, more relaxed stay
Yacht Club has a calm, more refined atmosphere compared with some nearby resorts. It is walking distance to EPCOT and also offers a convenient boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It shares Stormalong Bay with Beach Club, one of the most well-known pool areas on Disney property.
Disney’s Beach Club Villas
Best for: More space in a prime location
These villas share the same excellent location as Beach Club and give you villa-style accommodations with more room options. That makes them a strong choice for longer stays or families who want extra space while staying close to EPCOT.
Disney’s BoardWalk Villas
Best for: Space with the same location benefits
BoardWalk Villas offer the same location advantages as BoardWalk Inn, with suite and villa-style room options. That makes them a good fit if you want the same walkability and transportation options but need more space.
​Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Best for: Pool + family-friendly energy
Beach Club is one of the most popular resorts in this area, largely because of Stormalong Bay. The sand-bottom pool, lazy river, and slide make it feel like a destination on its own. It is within walking distance of EPCOT and also offers access to Hollywood Studios by boat or walk, though that walk is longer.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Best for: Lively atmosphere + central location
BoardWalk Inn sits along Disney’s BoardWalk, which offers dining and entertainment into the evening. It is a short walk to EPCOT and also walkable to Hollywood Studios. This is one of the best all-around locations if you want easy access to both parks.
​Disney’s Riviera Resort
Best for: Skyliner access + newer accommodations
Riviera is one of the newer Disney resorts and has a more modern design. You do not walk to EPCOT from here, but the Disney Skyliner provides access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. It is a quieter option than the BoardWalk area while still offering very easy park transportation.
