Contemporary

[Sally_doll]

I am staying at the contemporary for my next trip in a couple months. I usually go for a jog in the morning but I can't figure out if there are any good jogging paths around the hotel. For example, the beach club has the lake to jog around while port Orleans and Coronado springs has a large path around the resort. If anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it.

You can jog halfway around the walk around the world and then jog back (Contemporary to MK to GF then back)

You can walk/jog from the Contemporary Resort to the Magic Kingdom, but you cannot walk/jog from the Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian.

There are paths around both of the garden wings at the Contemporary Resort that you could use for a short walk/jog.

There is a jogging path arround the Poly that when circled is about 1 and 1/2 miles in distance. You can get a map at the Poly for this jogging path. You can also jog over to the GF from there along the walkway that passes by the Wedding Pavillion. This is a lovely setting and is uncrowded early in the mornings. Just hop on the monorail at the Contemporary and you will be at the Poly in no time. It is well worth taking the time to go here via monorail rather than trying to jog at the Contemporary if you value scenery and peace and quiet. The path from the Contemporary to the MK is crowded in the mornings with guests going to the MK. The path does go past the MK, but does not go all the way to the GF, as said already by beast. If you get up really early and beat the crowds, this is quite suitable for a jog, but not nearly as pretty or relaxing a run as the Poly/GF combo.

Have a good trip,
Ricky

I always see people jogging on that road from the Contemp. to Wilderness Lodge area, that tunnels under the lake. Always on the grass, however. And with very bad running form mind you.

I believe that there are some nice jogging trails around the Wilderness Lodge area, which you can get to via the boat dock on Bay Lake.

Contemporary is the greatest hotel in the world - I wish I were staying there when I go in 17 days...

I was just going to suggest this. There is a nice path thru the woods from the Wilderness Lodge to Fort Wilderness. People walk, jog & bike thru there. And the early morning boat ride from the Contemporay to the WL is very nice (as is the evening one). :wave:
