AKL to Animal Kingdom Park - walk?

[Yusani]

I have seen discussions about this being a bad idea... but is it permissible? Looking at the satellite, it looks like we could walk out the front door of the hotel, past the bus stop, down the roadside of Osceola Parkway (no side walk), turn left of Black Lake Road, past the Animal Kingdom Park bus stop, and then head into the park entrance.

We would be two adults with no kids and we are frequent hikers. I hate the bus system. I don't mind walking in grass and having lived the better park of a decade in Louisiana am not afraid of alligators. I traced out the path on Google Earth and it comes out to being apx 1.22 miles. The roadsides look well mowed. I realized this would not be a popular choice, but seems doable. I don't think I'd want to do this after dark, but early morning before park opening sounds doable.

But, is it permitted or would someone stop us?

Security will stop you.

Well! That ends that idea then! LOL

If you don't like the buses (we don't either!), use uber or lyft!

 

[kniquy]

I can't see why you would want to -- just hop on a bus or like PP mentioned just get a lyft or uber

I wish I could walk, too, but the area, no matter how good it looks on Google, is really not conducive to walking to the park.

Disney made it kinda simple to figure out really. If they didn't put a sidewalk in, they don't want you walking there.
