[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what are the resorts that you can walk to epcot? I am thinking that might be a nice area to stroll around at night and then put baby to bed. Also what is considered off season? Just winter or maybe some parts of april or may? Many thanks![/quote]

The Disney owned resorts are Beach Club, Yacht Club, and Boardwalk Inn.

The Beach Club and the Yacht Club are almost like two side of the same HUGE resort.   They share a pool and other facilities.  The Beach Club side also includes "Beach Club Villas" which are part of the Disney Vacation Club (Disney's time share) so those rooms will have kitchens and stuff.    I stayed at the Yacht club for a few days in September.   I really liked it there, but at the time the fitness center was closed, and also the slide on the pool was closed.   Kind of a bummer.

The Boardwalk Inn also has Vacation Club villas, as well as a regular inn side.   I stayed there for a few days in May.   Personally, I liked it better than the Yacht club.   It was smaller and felt more cozy, and it was closer to the "action" of the Boardwalk--though I've heard rooms that overlook the Boardwalk are kind of loud at night--our room faced away from the boardwalk so that wasn't an issue for us.   It's themed pool has a waterslide where you go out of a clowns mouth---so if you have a clown fear, it might not be for you.

All 3 hotels offer a "club level"--though only for the regular hotel-not available if you are staying in the vacation club villas.

In addition to those three, there is also the Swan and Dolphin.   The Swan and Dolphin are  in the same prime location as the above three, and also share transportation to the parks.   Swan and Dolphin resort guests are also elligible for "Extra Magic Hours" at the parks.  The difference is, since they are not owned by Disney

-you will not be eligibile to purchase a dining plan
-you will not be eligible to use the "Magical Express" transportation from the airport to your resort
-Swan and Dolphin charge for parking at the resort, even if you are staying there[/quote]
