Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom bridge construction - July 21 2020
Posted: Wednesday July 22, 2020 9:55am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Following more than a year of construction, the walkway that will link Disney's Grand Floridan Resort to the Magic Kingdom is nearing completion.

The large swing bridge that sits at the opening of the Electrical Water Pageant canal is now in position, landscaped, and complete with lighting.

The second fixed bridge, that spans a small canal near to the convention center, is also now in place (pictured below prior to and after installation).

The walkway leading from the Magic Kingdom to the bridges is also well underway.

Disney's Grand Floridan Resort reopens to guests in late September, and it looks like the project may be complete to open alongside the resort.

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.
