walking to Saratoga

[hsmamato2]

So,any recent experiences with walking from hotel blvd- Saratoga before 10 am? Is it still an issue with security there?

Could I ask why you'd want to walk like 2 miles at 10am and not even be in a park doing that kind of walking?

to catch a bus

I had a feeling.

That is a lot of time and energy to waste to then take what's one of the longest bus rides to the parks.

I would suggest looking into the resort shuttle which usually I would not suggest but if its between that and walking to SSR then I'd at least look into it.

Otherwise just take a rideshare. Yes its an extra cost but for convenience when not staying in a Disney resort I'd gladly spend the money vs walking to SSR.

It is by far not 2 miles. We stayed at SSR this year rented a car from Avis which is at the Hilton - yes other hotels are further down. The walk to SSR congress park bus stop from the bridge by once upon a toy is 10 minutes walking very slow I would put 5-7 for average walking. The congress park bus stop is second to last on the buses going to the parks so the internal bus ride will be maybe 3 minutes in the resort and the parks are all a similar bus ride of about 10 min. or less for EPCOT or HS. But as above the shuttle will likely be a better option unless the schedule is far apart.

According to Google maps, it’s 1.3 miles from the Hilton Orlando BV Palace to the Disney Bus Transportation at SSR. They estimate 28 minutes. You might have begun and ended at different points.

exactly. I've walked there and back to various hotel blvd hotels many times within a few minutes..... IDK if it's 1.3 miles or whatever on maps, that wasn't my question originally I actually like that area in general b/c of all the walking opportunites, I've even walked to Saratoga and then walked their walking paths just for fun!

You know the area. There aren't a lot of other people willing to waste that much time to save $20 in a rideshare. Even if you find other people who have done it recently, that won't tell you what will happen when you are there. You'll just have to try it and find out.

I think the OP’s question is if they can get to SSR before 10:00 am. I don’t know the answer but someone might!

Does Disney security actually stop walkers before 10?

 

[Lewisc]

It's .8 miles from Congress Park bus stop to LBV Hilton. Google maps says it's 18 minutes.

Some posters said you can walk through before 10a. A few others have had issues with security.

Ferry from the TTC to the MK should take around 15 minutes. You may have a 15 - 20 minute wait for a bus at SSR. Bus from your hotel is scheduled,.short wait.

A direct answet, you can probably walk to SSR prior to 10a

Starbucks and Earl open at 9.

Many many times walked from Hilton Bvp to the congress park stop. It is very quick if you are willing to j walk across the grass and road to the path. Ten minutes. Get bus direct to magic kingdom. Frowned upon perhaps but done a lot.
