Construction Update: Walkway from Grand Floridian Resort to Magic Kingdom
Earlier this week, we shared with you an update about how the construction is coming along on a proposed footpath that will connect Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to Magic Kingdom theme park.
Well, this weekend, high atop the monorail we managed to grab a few more awesome shots! Check them out below:
As we departed Grand Floridian you can get a great view of the area being cleared for the walkway.
According to permits filed for the project, the walkway will include a pivot bridge. This will allow the pedestrian bridge to move back and forth for boats coming in and out of the area.
Here’s an aerial view of the Pivot Bridge which has really seemed to start coming together over the last week.
The walkway runs along the monorail route. You can see that the pathway has been cleared. Notice Cinderella Castle standing proudly in the distance!
Here’s another image looking down at the pivot bridge!
Once completed, the pathway will provide quick access to Magic Kingdom from the Grand Floridian. This is similar to the walkway already in place from the Contemporary Resort to MK. The Grand Floridian walkway will include its own security checkpoint. This is a project we’re following closely so keep checking in with MickeyBlog for further updates!
