    We have 7:20 pm dinner reservations at the Wilderness Lodge but are staying at the Coronado. If we are not done with dinner until 9 pm, will we be able to get a boat back to Magic Kingdom to take a bus back to our hotel?

    Hi Kerry!

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thank you for bringing this question to us!

    Walt Disney World® Water Transportation is one of my favorite ways to travel. Hours of operation for water transportation could always vary depending on the weather and water conditions. On the date that you plan to visit, Magic Kingdom is currently scheduled to close at 9:00 p.m. Since weather conditions could change on the day of, I actually would suggest checking when you arrive to Disney's Wilderness Lodge. If you need alternative transportation, try the Disney Minnie Van™ Service Connected by Lyft. The vans are adorable and our drivers have always been courteous!

    Be sure to download the My Disney Experience Mobile App. You can also use the mobile app to see transportation options and estimated transit times between locations. To get transit options, use the search feature to enter the name of your location. Once you enter that, an option should appear to "Get Directions." Then enter the name of your destination. When I just searched for directions between Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Magic Kingdom, the bus was the quickest option at 34 minutes. Water transportation was estimated at 41 minutes.

    Kerry, I am happy to see that you have advanced dining reservations! Enjoy your time at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. It is truly a breathtaking resort. On a girls' trip with my twin girls one year, we dined at Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White and while the characters were delightful, I was taken with the gorgeous views from our window table. 

    Sending pixie dust as you plan!

    Magic and memories,
