How long to get to WCC from MK?

[Chippy4]

How much time should I allow myself to get from the front gate of the Magic Kingdom to the doors of Whispering Canyon Cafe? I'll be traveling over for lunch next month.

I know I have to take a boat over to the Wilderness Lodge, but I can't figure out how long the boat ride is or how long I might have to wait between boats, nor how far a walk it is to the restaurant from the boat dock.

0-15 minutes----wait for Wilderness Lodge Boat

10 minutes----travel time to WL

3 minutes----walk time to Whispering Canyon.

So it will take around 13 to 28 minutes-give or take a few seconds!lol

Just take the bus, it's often faster. One time my daughter and I took the bus and my son and husband took the boat. We were back in the room and changed into swimming suits by the time they got there. I realize there are a lot of variables, but if a boat isn't sitting there ready you can always try the bus. Quick trip either way, probably less than thirty minutes no matter what.

But the boat is more FUN!!!!

We did the boat from MK to WCC for dinner in November and it was pretty quick. The boats come pretty frequently and it was a quick ride over to the resort. In fact, it was so quick that we got there way too early and went to The Territory Lounge for drinks before our ADR.

Love the boat ride. We never waited more then 10 minutes when we stayed there.

The boat is very quick...less than 10 minutes travel time. The wait for the boat is usually no more than 10 minutes as well. Give yourself 30 minutes but generally it will be shorter...

We love taking the boat and it does seem pretty quick.

If the boat is at the dock, get on the boat. If it's not, go to the bus stop. Either way allow at least 30 mins

We always leave early so we can spend time there!

We really enjoy lunch here. It's a nice escape from the parks particularly Magic Kingdom and is easily accessible by boat (and a nice ride). It’s relaxing but actually fun because of the silly antics that go on there. (so make sure to take your sense of humor with you LOL!)


Feel free to check out our review with photos from our last lunch experience there-
