Walking is one of the best ways to get around Disney World property. We have great news for this Disney World walkway!

Walking around Disney World

You might be thinking, “Why would I want to walk when I could ride?” After all, if you have ever been to Disney World, you know how much walking you will be doing!

However, you may find you save a whole lot of time and annoyance by walking when possible rather than waiting for a bus, boat, Skyliner, or Monorail. For one thing, you do not have to wait to walk. You can just go when you are ready.

If you walk, you also don’t really have to worry about lines, crowds, delays, or breakdowns. So, it eliminates a bit of stress if you tend to be a worrier. Being able to walk gives you some measure of control over your travel to and from the parks.

Walking can also work out if you are traveling with a stroller or with guests who use a scooter or wheelchair. It can be much easier to just head to the parks on foot with your family members riding along with you than it is to load and unload strollers and ECVs.

Walkway reopens

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa received a walking path of its own not too long ago. The Grand Floridian walkway stretches approximately .7 miles between the resort hotel and the Magic Kingdom.

Most guests can complete the walk in about 15 minutes or less. This is a great option if the monorail and boat transportation lines are long. The walkway also connects the Polynesian to the Magic Kingdom via walking path as well!

Construction closed this walkway in February of this year, but it is open once again! This will surely make it more convenient for those Grand Floridian guests who want to skip the monorail or boat. Now if the Shades of Green walkway would just magically reopen…

Are you happy to hear the walkway between the Grand and Magic Kingdom is open again? Let us know in the comments below and share this post with a friend who will be staying there soon.
