The new walkway connecting Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to the Magic Kingdom has been near completion for some time now. When we last checked on the walkway, the temperature screening tent for guests entering Magic Kingdom had been expanded. We took another trip on the Monorail this week to see if any progress has been made on the rest of the walkway and bridge.
On the Grand Floridian side of the bridge, lampposts still need to be installed, but the bases are in place.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the bridge in position across the water. The swing-arm bridge can move to accommodate boats entering and leaving Seven Seas Lagoon. Gates on either side of the bridge will be closed when the bridge needs to move.
The Magic Kingdom side of the bridge is mostly complete.
This construction area remains to be cleaned up, but grass has been planted in some areas, which is a good sign.
This temporary ramp connects to the walkway while construction continues on the docks in front of Magic Kingdom. Guests will instead take the ramp directly into the Monorail station.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will be reopening on September 21st, so it’s possible the walkway will be opening at the same time or soon after.
Will you be taking this walkway to and from the Grand Floridian, or would you rather stick to the Monorail? Let us know in the comments.
