Hi Suzanne!
You made an
excellent choice in reserving the
Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage for your family.
It's by far one of my
favourite experiences at Walt Disney World. Pure magic!
From Disney's Old Key West Resort, you'll board a bus to Magic Kingdom. From there, take the short walk along the pathway to Disney's Contemporary Resort, or, hop on the resort monorail to get there if you prefer. If you're visiting one of the theme parks or water parks during the day, simply board a bus directly to Disney's Contemporary Resort.
Always allow 60-90 minutes of travel time from location to location, particularly if you're on your way to a special reservation. You'll want to arrive at the Contemporary no later than 8:00pm to check-in your party. Ask a Concierge Cast Member upon arrival at the resort, which ballroom you are to check in at and they will be happy to direct you.
If you'd like to eat at Old Key West before leaving, enjoy a quick meal at
Good's Food to Go and dine in their outdoor seating area before heading to the bus stop. Be sure to depart Old Key West no later than 6:30/6:45pm to allow for wait time, travel time or any unforeseen delays.
If you'd rather head straight to
Disney's Contemporary Resort and dine there, plan to leave Old Key West by 5:00pm. At the Contemporary you can enjoy many choices for a quick meal at
Contempo Café.
Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your question. I hope you'll return soon!
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World Suzanne!
