    Hi How long does it take to walk from the Polynesian Resort to Magic kingdom?

    Hi there, Jen, and a big aloha from all of us here at planDisney! 

    How exciting that you'll be spending time at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort during your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Whether you're simply enjoying a meal or it's where you've chosen to call your magical home away from home, you're sure to be astounded by the immersive tropical vibes and incredible location on Seven Seas Lagoon. 

    Because of this location, there are multiple transportation options that connect the Polynesian to Magic Kingdom Park: the monorail, a water taxi, and a walking path. The walking path recently reopened following the completion of the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows and winds through Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa before continuing along Seven Seas Lagoon. Depending on your pace, this scenic journey will likely last between 25 and 35 minutes.

    Speaking of transportation, did you know that the My Disney Experience app can provide directions to your next destination? Just like magic! To begin, you'll simply search for your destination in the app and then select 'Get Directions'. Here, you can either opt to begin from your current location or manually enter an alternate location. Not only will you be provided with step-by-step directions and an estimated travel time, but you can also compare the steps and travel times of all available transportation options and choose what works best for you! 

    I hope this helps, Jen, and that your time at Walt Disney World Resort is filled with magical memories! Don't forget that you've got a friend in planDisney, so if any additional questions about your upcoming visit arise, don't hesitate to stop back by. 

    Thinking Happy Thoughts,
    Lizzie
