Construction at Wilderness Lodge

Nobody's bonus is gonna be paid on the additional bricks sold minus the cost of a swingbridge/drawbridge. Path makes sense, $ not there.

Plus, it's a long walk. 3 people would walk it daily (and this time of year, 2 of them would die of heat exhaustion).

Guests will never be allowed to walk along World Drive under the connection between Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake.

Interesting thought, considering there is a sidewalk that goes from the Contemporary under the canal back down World Drive.

To where? Like, why would someone walk that way?

To nowhere. Had to look on Google maps, but it runs to just about the monorail beam, and then stops. I only know its there from runDisney events.

Well that's surprising!

Still don't think there will be a walkway from WL to the MK

Walk that way, isn't there a song there?

It looks to be around 1km from MK to GF, so about a 10-15 minute walk. Not an excessively long journey really. Slightly shorter than the Boardwalk to Hollywood Studios walk.
I think it would get lightly used but not enough to pay for the drawbridge costs unfortunately.

It's funny (for lack of a better word) to me how guests go out of their way to avoid extra walking. A few months ago we were at the Contemporary and the monorail was off line. The CMs were directing people who wanted to go to MK to use the walking path. I couldn't believe the amount of grumbling. People were getting very upset and talking loudly about how the benefit of staying in a Magic Kingdom resort is the monorail and saying things like, "why did we pay all this money when we aren't being provided transportation?."

It's like a 10 minute walk, People!! Aren't you going to walk all day anyway?

They would make the walk if there were a couple turkey leg carts along the way...

The walking path is about the only thing I liked about the Contemporary. Being able to make a quick walk to and from the MK when the boys were 7 months old was WONDERFUL. No waiting, no folding up the stroller. Ahhh...

Call me crazy(because I am) but I am looking forward to walking this coming May. Granted my last two DLR excursions I was hobbled and we have never been to WDW but being able to walk after several episodes of not being able to walk, now I walk whenever I can! LOL

Not crazy at all. My DH and I vacation at WDW specifically because of the endless places to walk. Walking and having things to look at is our favorite leisurely pastime. We aren't wilderness types so having pavement under our feet is the way to go.

Walkway to MK won't happen. They don't even have a walkway from the Grand to MK and there is already half of a pathway there and would be much shorter.

I'd rather see them reinstitute the skyway, but to make it more practical have one end start at the MK bus stop, then have it go to a stop at Contemporary with a final stop (and turn-around) at WL.

LOL.

Sorry, that actually made me laugh.

Let's have an f-ing skyway go to the Wilderness Lodge. LOL.

And people complain about some trees being removed?
