Which resort boats are docking here? Is it just GF ones?

I’d assume GF and Poly like before.
Yep Poly and GF
Video or it isn't open...It is a 10 minute brisk walk. Here are photos of the walk

The signs in the photos say WL and FW

Well spotted. It’s a bit strange though, it means the boats will then be crossing paths getting to their respective docks.
Seems to be a bit of temporary reshuffling today of locations as things are finished. Might need to wait a few days to see how it all shakes out.

Can someone point out the signs in the picture that say WL and FW? I think I might be over looking it.

I missed it in the photos too! But you can see in the video. They’re on the second roofed structure by the dock.
It’s in this one https://www.wdwmagic.com/resorts/di...dan-resort-walkway-to-magic-kingdom/39848.htm
But I don’t think it is all final yet.
Just processing
1. See, there is a bench at MK!
2. But no trash cans...
3. The new walkway becomes a Disney blogger super spreader event.
4. We can see the docked electric flotilla! The magic is destroyed!!
5. Now do it in 360 degrees video!!
6. Now do it in a walk all the way from and to the TTC!!!
and don't forget at night, and in the rain, and in a hurricane

Good catch. Maybe they’re keeping all the Bay Lake resorts together, since the new dock will have space for Lakeside Lodge. Certainly makes returning to GF/Poly a bit less intuitive tho.

I'm certainly not a night-owl (very much an early bird) and, since we're just now expecting our first kid, we haven't had to deal with tired kids at the end of the night. With that said, it's always astounded me that shear amount of people that wait in the line for the monorail after park close. Anytime that I've been reliant on the monorail after park closing, I've always walked to the Contemporary and gotten a drink or two at one of the lounges, then hopped on the Resort Monorail to the TTC. One stop and nearly empty cabs, plus time spent imbibing instead of waiting in line.
I honestly have no desire to stay in the Grand Floridian, ever, but I'm very excited for this walkway. On those nights that we aren't ready to turn in yet, it'll be nice to be able to walk to the GF or Poly for post-park drinks AND not have to wait for the monorail, ferry, or boats.

I'm not one for peer pressure, but I have found that a few tokes and throwing on a "leisurely stroll" during this quasi-on-again-off-again-lockdown has just been what the doctor ordered to keep me sane....just FYI
