Walkthrough of completed Grand Floridan Resort walkway to Magic Kingdom
Posted: Friday November 20, 2020 8:52am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The much anticipated walkway from the Grand Floridian Resort to the Magic Kingdom opened this morning.

The new walkway begins near to the Grand Floridian convention buildings, accessible from alongside the quick service restaurant and marina area.

The walk takes about 10 minutes at a brisk pace, but of course your mileage may vary. For most, it will be a 15 minute walk.

During the walk, you pass over two new bridges, including the swing bridge that allows access to the Electric Water Pageant canal.

Also open today is the new boat dock, serving both the Grand Floridian and Polynesian Resort.

On arrival, temperature screening and security screening is carried out just beyond the new boat dock area, which use the new no-stop EVOLV security scanners.

Thanks! Let's hope they are on schedule with late Spring!

Any thoughts on whether it will be open by December?

Are the renovation materials for the main building in the same location? Or will those be staged elsewhere?

Wonder how much longer it will be closed. They seem to be rapidly concluding exterior construction on Sago Cay.

This being closed is such a bummer - I was super looking forward to using this on my upcoming trip. I had been wondering why no one was taking it in some videos I was watching!

I'm hoping the walkway is available for my December trip!

It’s not. The walkway is closed for construction in the outer building closest to it. It would be unsafe to have guests in that area now. Nothing is being done to the walkway itself. I personally witnessed the site on Thursday.

I wouldn't be surprised if the walkway was a pile of dirt right now.
