Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

[The Empress Lilly]

I love this so much!

I love my Florida evening walks. I take them anyway. And I dislike the MK crowds.

I might never see a monorail or ferry in the evening again!

Apparently there are several red monorails about the property

Funny thing is they make the Skyliner gondolas with several unique appliques instead of them all being the same.

I saw yellow and black, and maybe orange. But definitely saw several reds

@nelsonj3 , are you planning one of your “Relaxing stroll” videos along the path soon?

Not that I”m obsessively checking or anything.....

I've got it filmed and posting Sunday!

That was good, but I want to see the bridge rotate and let out the water pageant!

We tried this out the other day and loved it. Very peaceful and reasonably quick. That said, best I could tell it would seem there is currently no way to walk from the TTC to the Poly? It looked to be all blocked off; at least where I’m familiar with where to go. I just assumed this was due to the construction but wasn’t sure if I just goofed up? We ended up taking a resort monorail to the grand Floridian and then walked over so not like it was a big deal .

No you can walk from TTC to Poly. Just have to exit past security and the temperature tents and walk down the tram lane towards the Poly. Still open.

Awesome. Thanks. I like to be sure I’m staying within proper boundaries and became unsure over there. Will be sure to check it out next time.

It's open but people should be aware both times I've now done it security has asked me what I'm doing and asked whether I had a reservation for the Polynesian. I don't think they want people to walk from TTC to Magic Kingdom at this time.

Haven’t asked the last few times and if they do we just say we’re heading to the Poly and they direct us that way.

Thanks for that video! I only saw one nice rest area with a double bench. Maybe I missed other ones? It seems like an awfully long walk with only one bench area? IDK, but I think my legs wouldn't hold up for the extra walking. But it is a nice addition for those who can physically use it, and a beautiful walkway.

More benches have been added.

Surprising to me. Usually they only ask because some people get lost going that way instead of to the parking lot. I can't think of why they'd be cracking down on foot traffic, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Maybe to cut down on construction site theft? It's quite a problem I understand.....

I wonder if the walkway will be a no smoking zone...

Smoking is allowed only in designated areas

Smoking is allowed only in designated areas

On the islands I can hope

Can someone remind me please. Where is the security / temperature screening on the walkway? Trying to remember of it’s near the GF or as the path meets the boat dock. Thanks!

It uses the same screening as the boat dock!

Boat dock, actually if I remember right, after as it functions as the check for both.
