Wow,
Rachel! This is an incredibly fun question. I just love queries about transportation at Walt Disney World Resort.
May I add one more leg to your magical journey? I'm going to suggest you take the
ferryboat from Disney Springs to
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter. When you disembark your boat at that resort, walk to the front of the resort and board an Epcot-bound
bus. From there, board the monorail that is headed to the Ticket & Transportation Center across from Magic Kingdom Park. At the Ticket & Transportation Center, disembark the monorail from Epcot and then board the
resort monorail. Ride it all the way around the loop to
Disney's Contemporary Resort. Walk out the back of this resort and there you will find a small boat that takes guests to
Disney's Wilderness Lodge. That, of course, is where you will find
Whispering Canyon Cafe.
I'm so pleased to hear you share my love of all forms of Disney transportation. I wish I could accompany you on this circuitous but delightful trek from Disney Springs to Whispering Canyon Cafe.
Wishing you many magical memories along the way,
Jill
