The walkway between Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Magic Kingdom has reopened to guests this evening after a lengthy closure.

Disney originally notified guests with reservations through the end of the year about the closure which began in mid-February 2023, but the walkway reopened earlier this evening.

The closure was to allow work to continue on the refurbishment project at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

The Grand Floridian Resort to Magic Kingdom walkway opened in late 2020 after years of being requested by guests who wanted to bypass Disney transportation and make their own way to Magic Kingdom from the hotel. The walkway also allows guests to walk from the Transportation and Ticket Center to Magic Kingdom, via Disney's Polynesian Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

    Thanks! Let's hope they are on schedule with late Spring!

    Most likely. See here - https://www.wdwmagic.com/resorts/disneys-grand-floridian-resort-and-spa/news/07feb2023-disruption-coming-to-the-walkway-between-disneys-grand-floridian-resort-and-magic-kingdom.htm

    Any thoughts on whether it will be open by December?

    James AlucobondApr 26, 2023

    Are the renovation materials for the main building in the same location? Or will those be staged elsewhere?

    Wonder how much longer it will be closed. They seem to be rapidly concluding exterior construction on Sago Cay.

    This being closed is such a bummer - I was super looking forward to using this on my upcoming trip. I had been wondering why no one was taking it in some videos I was watching!

    lindawdwApr 10, 2023

    I'm hoping the walkway is available for my December trip!

    TuvaluApr 10, 2023

    It’s not. The walkway is closed for construction in the outer building closest to it. It would be unsafe to have guests in that area now. Nothing is being done to the walkway itself. I personally witnessed the site on Thursday.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the walkway was a pile of dirt right now.
