How long to travel to Contemporary?

[WDW_Jon]

How long should I allow to get from MK to the contemporary?

Obviously monorail and its damn close but not sure how often they run and how long it takes as always stay near Epcot so rarely use the monorail?

Planning an ADR late morning at chef mickeys... I was thinking 20 mins?

20 min at the most. Unless there is monorail issues etc. Also you can just walk over. That can be a lot quicker.

Didn't actually realise you could walk it... May be an option

Didn't actually realise you would walk it... May be an option

I never have but have heard of people that did. I am not sure where a walk way is etc. Others may know more that have done the walk before.

The walkway is near the Resort bus entrance and exit. From MK I would probably give 30 mins to be on the safe side if walking.

Walk doesn't look too far on Google Earth but not a particularly scenic route by the looks of it! Bus station and then a road and then a parking lot!
Not like walking from epcot to the YC for example!
Monorail it is and I'll allow 20 mins!

Actually it is kinda scenic as it is thrilling when the monorail zooms by right overhead. How often do you get to do that? We stayed for a week at BLT last year and walked frequently and enjoyed it very much. I am long legged but don't think it ever took more than about 10-15 minutes, depending on walking pace.

I'll take your word for it! Just doesn't look like much of a nice walk on Google!
Think the monorail will be the option as we need an excuse to ride it staying near Epcot and not using it...

Yeah, riding the monorail is fun!

If you're not used to walking or tired after walking all day in the park, it may seem longer than it really is. Late morning monorail shouldn't be too crowded going back to the CR. It is an interesting walk if you've never done it before. There is a sidewalk all the way. Just be careful at the crosswalks as always.

Walk like you're going to the busses and just keep going straight

Actually when you exit the MK take a left, the walkway starts there and goes along the grass under the monorail. It's not a long walk at all. Maybe 15 min from MK to lobby at most

Good weather and good spirits = walk for us, bad = Monorail.

 

[Mukta]

I usually walk. From the MK exit gates, it takes me about 12 minutes.

 

[DisneyJoe]

Besides the views, our favorite reason to stay at the Contemporary is the ability to walk to and from the MK.

 

[Disney4family]

We love riding the monorail, but if we're going between the Contemporary (or BLT) and the MK, we always walk. It is thrilling to have the monorail overhead.

 

[JIMINYCR]

Weve made the walk... and it always is longer cause I cant help but look down and read the personalized tiles. I've actually found some from people in my home town and the city I now live in. DW says hurry up, youre lagging behind... but I cant help looking for more, hey.... theres one from ..... .

 

[DisneyDaver]

I've done that walk many times ... takes me about 10 mins. I'd recommend walking over the monorail unless you are carrying a lot of stuff or have very young kids with you.

Walk it, that's way faster then waiting for the monorail regardless of the time of day.

 

[Rick-pds]

I agree, I walk every time and beat the rest of my party taking the monorail by more than 10 minutes. It usually takes 8-10 minutes from door to bag check. I walk a slightly faster than average pace, so maybe 10-12 minutes if you walk slower. The walk is scenic. You have shrubs, plants, trees along the entire walkway.
