Walk from Fairfield to Paradise Pier Hotel

[simplicio]

I just google mapped this walk because we are doing the disney brunch one morning and it says its a 25 minute walk. Can we just walk through the parks to get there?

You can't walk through the parks exactly. You will want to go into the entrance to the Esplanade, and can cut through the GHC instead of going into DTD before making a left turn.

No walking through the parks will not help you. I assume you mean Fairfield Inn on Sth Harbor. If so you walk in as if going to the parks, then keep going through Downtown Disney and then turn left to get to the Paradise Pier Hotel. I dont know how fast you walk or if you are going with young children but better to allow yourself a bit of extra time, then you wont feel rushed getting to breakfast.

You'll want to cross Harbor, walk through the esplanade and into Downtown Disney as the PP said *but* go through the Grand Clafornian Hotel by entering next to the Sephora store in DTD and then walk out the hotel's front door and across the street is the Paradise Pier Hotel. MUCH quicker and easier than walking all the way down to the end of DTD and turning left

OH man, catch a cab. Or wear good shoes. If you're going for dinner, do NOT let anyone wear "cute" shoes, LOL. I absolutely destroyed my feet on the night BEFORE our park touring started, by walking from HoJo (about a minute more walking) to PPH (and I went through the Grand).

If I were to ever do it again, I'd catch a cab. I had to have my husband wake our son to drive over to PPH to get me (I was there for a DVC presentation and to meet a couple dis'ers) b/c I had no cash for a cab and could barely even stand in my stupid "cute" shoes.

I think I'd go with a cab as well, it's not a super long walk but if you're timing it for a meal it's easier to just cab it.
