Walking distances

[bsiev1977]

Does anyone know if there ae any resources out there that tell you how far it is from certain point to points at Disney? Like how far from EPCOT entrance to Italy. Or how far from MK entrance to Haunted Mansion. Things like that.

The easiest way it to get that info it to use the draw a path feature in Bing maps.

They used to have that on the maps in the passporter. I'll dig an old one out and see what I find.

Any tips on how to do that, I'm fiddling around in the maps now but can't figure out how tondo what you said.

Sorry. It's not the distance. It's the time to walk from one place to the other.

For some reason the first post doesn't show. It said that I thought passporter had that. It didn't. It has the walk time from one place to the next.

Yeah, I'd read somewhere, I think in the Unofficial Guide, that it takes about a half hour at a brisk pace to go from entrance to the back of WS at EPCOT.

While I haven't used it for WDW, I use it to map the distance of all of my walking routes since I've found my pedometer apps to be less reliable. Soooo, this might work...

I know it's less than that I've done it in about 20 minutes! NO crowds!!!!

Passporter shows going to the left at about 20, and if you go to the right at 23+ if it's not crowded.

That is at a brisk pace! I walk very fast! Crossing NYC streets you learn to move quickly! LOL

Good link. This actually works, though the scrolling and zooming of the maps is not as smooth as other map resources. It said that from the EPCOT mono station to the Italy pavilion is about 0.77 miles around the lagoon. Only about 0.62 as the crow flies.
I'll make use of this site.

Just checked. Turning left towards Mexico, the total distance ends up being about 0.77 miles. Going right towards Canada makes the total distance to Italy to be about 0.95 miles.

I use Gmap Pedometer.

(Probably easier to use if you switch it to Manual)

I was going to suggest this too. I use it for my runs.

This one is good as well.
Something to occupy my planning obsession until I can make my ADRs on June 10.

Not even close -- if its absolutely packed and you walk at a steady "family pace" it takes 20 minutes. If you walk at a brisk pace and just walk directly there without dawdling, it takes 12 minutes. I've done it often to get to dinner back in France or Italy

Since I'm going to be by myself in December, I know I could cover that distance in less than 15 minutes. Italy for dinner is exactly what I'm thinking of. Maybe park hopping into EPCOT one night for an Italy dinner.

I'd figure 20-25 minutes to Italy after you have gone through the turnstile and are in the park. You'd go to the left when entering the World Showacse (toward Mexico). It also depends on how hot and crowded it is.

I know I can walk the entire WS loop and half again in less time than it takes to run illuminations, if that helps any. I go at a normal pace - not hurrying, but not going slowly, either.

I'm going the second week of December, so heat shouldn't be an issue.
I worked it out on a couple of those mapping sites. Taking the loop towards Mexico instead of turning right cuts almost two tents of a mile off of the total distance.
