BLT walkway to MK

[cfarle1]

I will be staying at BLT in may, and I was wondering where the walkway to the MK is located, and is it a very long walk? We will be with both my mom and dad and my inlaws. Thanks.

Hmmm, most folks here say you can walk it in about 10 minutes, max. I believe the walkway extends just under the monorail line. So you would just walk straight out through the parking lot and then from Space Mountain to the Castle in length.... I am one of those that cherish the times I have been with my in-laws and parents. MIL is headed down with us in Oct. She is awesome, FIL passed away several years ago....but we got a terrific trip to WDW in with him before that happened. You will have great memories and so much fun

Just from personal experience ... Its a Hike! Its longer than it looks. We walked this last year from the Contemporary on Day One and then took the Monorail every other time! If Your just out and want to walk it for the views or whatever and Your not in a Hurry to get to Magic Kingdom with Kids ... Then it would probably be fine. But pushing a stroller and kids that are in hurry on Day One to get to Magic Kingdom -- It wasn't a good idea!

Just walk straight out the BLT main entrance and you will see signs as you near the road pointing out the sidewalk to MK. (It's all fairly obvious, just start walking toward MK). One night I walked back from MK to BLT and as tired and sore as I was from walking all day, I still made it in 7 minutes.

I don't think that the monorail is faster. From the Contemporary to MK you would need to stay on the resort loop and stop at TTC, Poly and GF before arriving at MK or transfer at TTC to the MK express loop. So if you have the energy or children aren't a factor, then walking to MK is an easy thing to do.

We walked it in the morning when the kids were fresh and energized, but took the monorail back after the kids were hot, tired, etc. Plus, taking the monorail to MK means going through the entire loop which stops at all hotels and TTC. Taking it home means you are the first stop from MK to the contemporary. And to get from the monorail back to BLT is very quick. Just go down the escalator from the monorail and the walkway is on that floor. This walkway then puts you on floor 5 of BLT right at the elevators to go back to your room.
