We are considering Boardwalk for our next stay and were wondering how far the walk really is from Boardwalk to the World Showcase enterance??

From the Boardwalk entrance, it's about 10 minutes at a standard pace. You go to the right, walk over the bridge, turn right again and once through the Int'l Gateway, you'll find yourself between France and the UK.

You're just about equi-distant to the entrance of MGM as well.

It is only a short walk - quicker than the boat! We just returned yesterday! We really enjoyed the easy access with the Flower and Garden Festival going on! It was WONDERFUL to simply take that short walk and not load onto a crowded bus of tired people! :mickey:

As a frame of reference, from the center of the BoardWalk to the World Showcase entrance is a third of a mile.

A "normal" casual (not rushing) walking pace is 2 miles per hour, so one-third of one mile should be a 10 minute walk at that pace. It would be 6 or 7 minutes at a more brisk pace of 3 MPH.

It's a really quick, easy walk. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

I love nothing more than walking down the walkway to the International Gateway entrance and hearing the entrance music playing. That's as good a feeling as there is for me.

If that 10 minute leisurely stroll is too much, you can stop off for a beer at ESPN Sportszone like I usually do :)
