Easiest way to get from Wilderness Lodge to the Contemporary

[JBelle19]

I know there used to be a boat between the two, but it isn't running (I wish it were). What is the easiest, quickest way to get from WL to CR? And a good estimate on how long it would take?

Thank you!

Boat or bus to MK, then walk to CR. The actual rides from WL to MK aren't long, nor is the walk, but the waits are unpredictable, so I personally would allow at least an hour and would hope it turned out to be less.

Are we sure that the Blue Launch isn't running that goes between WL/CR/MK?

We took the boat to MK and got on the monorail to CR

As recently as within the last week or two, I've read posts from people there stating that it still had not started running again since the pandemic closure. If you have knowledge that it has restarted, please confirm - you would make many people very happy!

We were told in late fall by the WL skipper that bringing back that route isn't likely.

Things could change any time, of course, esp. if a bunch of guests write to guest services saying it's a needed route.

Ask the Disney Springs bus driver if his next stop is the Contemporary. I know they usually share the route. If you take the boat to MK and then walk, you have to go through security.

We were just at the Wilderness last Saturday Mar 26 and the boat was not running between Wilderness & Cont. We took the boat to MK which ppl said comes every 10 min. Quick ride over, and we walked to Cont although you could also take the monorail there as it is the first stop!

All of the Disney Springs buses from WL stopped by Contemporary first (before continuing to DS) on our trip this past week. That would be the quickest in my opinion.

Take your rental car. Three minute drive.

It's a real shame there is no jogging path to WL from Contemporary. The jogging path at Contemporary/BLT is blah to say the least.

Yes, it is too bad. Wilderness Lodge wasn't in the original site plans, and the designers of the underpass beneath the Seven Seas Lagoon to Bay Lake connector waterway didn't make it wide enough to accommodate a safe pedestrian walkway there. When runDisney races take World Drive, it's closed to vehicles.

We Uber'ed from WL to Contemporary last summer.
It was $8 and change (plus tip).
Uber'ed back to WL - this was $12 (plus tip).

Will always wonder how that pricing varies...
Well worth the $25ish we paid for the ease, and no worry of how to make it happen.
