    We are staying at The Contemporary and have a breakfast reservation at Whispering Canyon. Wondering how long the boat ride (approximately) takes from MK to Wilderness Lodge? Would it be quicker to take the bus from MK to Wilderness Lodge?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Bethany!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are so excited to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! You are in for a MAGICAL adventure where you will experience thrilling attractions, enchanting character meet-and-greets, and AH-mazing restaurants. So, now it's time to start packing, put on your Mickey ears, and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!

    First of all, you are going to LOVE staying at the Contemporary! Staying at this resort will be an unforgettable experience, with its sleek modern design and the monorail gliding right through the hotel. You’ll love the breathtaking views of Cinderella Castle and the convenience of being just steps away from Magic Kingdom. With incredible dining, a fantastic pool, and a front-row seat to the fireworks, it's truly one of the best places to stay at Disney World.

    I also love staying at the Contemporary because you have so many travel options to theme parks and resorts. As you plan for your rip-roaring breakfast at Whispering Canyon, you do have several options. From my experience, I would recommend taking a Blue Route Water Taxi from the Contemporary to Wilderness Lodge. These boats run every 15 to 30 minutes, and the travel route will be from the Contemporary to Fort Wilderness to Wilderness Lodge. Your travel time by boat will be between 35-40 minutes, depending on the boat arrival schedule. While you could walk to Magic Kingdom and take a bus to Wilderness Lodge, I believe this route will be longer than taking the Blue Route Water Taxi. I also think this route will be much more relaxing!

    As you continue to plan, make sure you check out the Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information regarding all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible things planned, and we don't want you to miss a thing!

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
