It takes about twenty minutes to get from one resort to the other. Even though WDW is very safe, I guess I would not take the trail after dark because it is quite secluded and not heavily traveled. :-)

5	RoadTrip Wed 2/6/2008 9:23a	<<It's a great trail to walk. Watch out for the alligators along the way!>> Hmmm... I've seen alligators on the Fort Wilderness 'Swamp Trail', but I can't say I've ever seen them on the trail between the resorts. The trail cuts through a Slash Pine forest, and does not have any water near the trail. The only way there would be a problem is if there were Land Gators, and they always ring the doorbell and announce themselves so there is really nothing to fear. ;-)

I really didn't know that was possible. Thanks
