The EPCOT Resort Area offers one of the most enjoyable locations at Walt Disney World, particularly for guests who value exceptional dining, evening entertainment, and the ability to walk to EPCOT. From the resorts surrounding Crescent Lake, EPCOT’s International Gateway and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are accessible by walking path or boat, making it easy to move between the parks and the resort area throughout the day.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn surround Crescent Lake. Restaurants, lounges, shops, and nightlife along Disney’s BoardWalk create an atmosphere that continues well after the parks close. Each resort offers something different, from the relaxed coastal style of the Beach Club and the refined nautical character of the Yacht Club to the lively waterfront setting of the BoardWalk Inn.
Disney’s Riviera Resort sits outside the Crescent Lake area but connects directly to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios by Disney Skyliner with a connection at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Its elegant European-inspired design, villa accommodations, rooftop dining, and convenient transportation make it another strong choice for guests who want to remain closely connected to both parks.
Here, the resort experience does not end when you leave the parks. World Showcase, waterfront dining, lively evenings along Disney’s BoardWalk, and some of Walt Disney World’s most inviting resorts are all within easy reach.
