Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

[MisterPenguin]

No. It will be Moana's Consider the Coconuts Lakeside Village Retreat: A Disney Resort and Sweatlodge

Moana's Fire Mountain ride and attached resort confirmed!

I would personally love to see DL build an Avengers Tower Hotel right behind Marvel Land as a backdrop

They could certainly put a tall tower on the Eastern Gateway area that would be easily visible from within Marveland

 

[Obobru]

So if any new hotel was built near MK I would hope that Disney would continue their own tradition and think about sightlines.

Someone's not been to Epcot in a while

At first glance, it seemed like it would be a long walk, but sitting down and measuring it it's only about 500 feet longer than the walk to the Contemporary (3000 ft vs 2500 ft).

If they paint the hotel tower blue nobody will see it. Problem solved

You mean you all don't take the GF ferry at the close of MK to hobnob with the 1% and then walk from the GF to the TTC like I do? I make it look like I fit in by keeping my pinky extended at all times.

wait your not part of the 1%

I think this is severely needed. On a recent trip in June, my wife and daughter tried to get on the monorail at the Poly (line was out into the upstairs lobby). We waited two monorails and still couldn’t get in! At that point we got a Minnie Van and went back to our resort. I feel with the DVC additional at Poly and GF, this is needed!!

So 13 pages, any solid confirmation that this might be true?

Aside from the permit and confirmation from a Disney spokesperson?

Haha I skipped a few pages, must have missed it. Great to hear that this will be happening.

@SomeInternetGuy posted this in the permits thread, thought it deserved it's own thread.

God I love this idea. I have always thought that this was last missing piece. Our home resort is BLT and we love the walk to and from MK! To also have the ability from GF would be a really nice touch.

 

[wedenterprises]

An extended path would be great, but I'm skeptical that it's actually happening here. They could simply be removing the path altogether?

Side note: are there "alligator fences" along the current pathway's waterline?

I was wrong! Happy to be wrong because it's much needed.

No way the canal goes...the water pageant is a completely different decision. I don’t see the work on a bridge to be a determining factor either way.

The reality is the water pageant is a loss. They really have no reasons to keep doing it

Here is a reason to keep doing it: The one Friendship Boat Captain who loves to yell "Ladies and Gentlemen...... IT'S KENNY RODGERS!!!!" when the King Triton float lights up. Our family still laughs about that guy.

Maybe something like this

 

[ToTBellHop]

We need to get the Soarin dude in here with his erector set.

Doesn't everyone already know. Disney is building walk ways everywhere so guests can opt out of Disney Transportation for a $20 a day gift card. *nodding*

 

[NormC]

A simple drawbridge like EPCOT is all that is required. A swing bridge would work nicely as well. It would only need to be open twice a day. I would love to use this walkway. Our home is BLT and my garage is the Contemporary.

 

[lindawdw]

My DH and I have been saying for years that they need to complete this path so we're super excited about this news! Our DVC home resort is the GFV and this will make our stays so much more enjoyable!
