?? about boat from POR dock and how long?

[mlg32]

Any POR vets that can help I would appreciate advice. We will be arriving at POR before noon on Monday. It will be me and my 4 kiddos, including one somewhat high strung 4 year old.

I need to go to DTD to pick up my Yes tickets at Guest relations. We will have left the house at 5am, so in need of food and relaxation.

Is the boat the best way to go or is it shorter to ride the bus? If the weather is good they will all be wanting to swim, I will probably need a cocktail so hoping to complete task in the most efficient way.

Just realized my I got off course from title, I did want to know if the boat docks on the side I need to be on for guests

Just be aware that the boats operate on about a 20 min cycle, so if you get there right after the previous boat leaves, you'll have to wait about 15-20 min for another boat and it's about a 20ish min boat ride to DTD. So you're potentially looking at 40-45 min from the time you get to the dock to catch a boat. In a case like that, it would prolly be quicker to catch a bus.

That's what happened to us last year. We got to POR later than planned and had to rush to make our T-Rex ADR. A boat had JUST left, so we ran over and hopped a bus and made it. Wouldn't have made it if we'd waited another 20 min for a boat.

Thanks so much for your response , that makes total sense. Do you remember where the boat docks? Is it near the ghriadelli section or the Westside where Wolfgang pucks ( the sit downplace) is?

It docks in the Marketplace area, right at Cap'n Jacks restaurant/marina, so closest to Ghirardelli .
