Hiya, Laura, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy you're here with this great question about your Walt Disney World Resort holiday! It sounds like you're enjoying your vacation right now! I'll keep this short and sweet, so you can get back to the magic.
Laura, the
boat that runs between
Magic Kingdom Park and
Disney's Wilderness Lodge operates until about an hour after Magic Kingdom closes, including
Extended Evening Hours. To get to
Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, I suggest taking a water taxi or a bus from Wilderness Lodge - just be sure that you're hopping on the correct one by asking a helpful Cast Member when you board. Otherwise, you might end up at a theme park!
I feel like I've said "wilderness" a lot, so if any of this is unclear, I highly recommend using the
My Disney Experience Mobile App's map feature to get the most accurate and detailed directions to any destination within Walt Disney World Resort. As a visual learner, I use the map often, even when I'm pretty sure I know the way!
Laura, I hope this is helpful to you as you enjoy your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
Happily,
Jennifer
