    Have a 9:30am breakfast reservation at Whispering Canyon. How much time should I allow for transportation from Magic Kingdom by both boat and bus to arrive around 9:10-9:15?

    Hi, Bethany! Welcome (back) to planDisney.

    It's a pleasure to help you plan your great, big, beautiful tomorrow. Breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe is such a fun and delicious way to start your Disney day. From hearty skillets piled high with eggs, bacon, Mickey waffles, and all the fixin’s to the lively, cheeky Cast Members who make the experience unforgettable, there’s nothing quite like it.

    If you're traveling from Magic Kingdom Park to Disney's Wilderness Lodge for your 9:30 AM reservation, I’d recommend allowing about 45 minutes of travel time, just to be safe. The boat launch from Magic Kingdom Park to Disney's Wilderness Lodge is usually the most scenic and enjoyable option, and the ride itself is around 10–15 minutes. However, boats typically run every 15–20 minutes, so building in some buffer time is a good idea. If you’re taking a bus (which is less common from Magic Kingdom Park to Disney's Wilderness Lodge but sometimes an option from other areas), you’ll want to allow similar time. To arrive by 9:10–9:15 AM, I’d aim to leave Magic Kingdom Park by 8:30 AM at the latest.

    Whilst you’re at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, be sure to take a few minutes to explore the stunning lobby. It’s one of the most breathtaking spots on property, with its grand fireplace and towering totem poles. And if you have a little extra time after breakfast, stroll down to the back of the resort for a peaceful view of Bay Lake. It’s a hidden gem and a great place for a quiet moment before heading back to the parks!

    I hope that's helpful, Bethany. If you have any more questions about your trip, you have a friend in me.
