Boat from Springs to Old Key West, Saratoga and Port Orleands

[Ross J 82]

Hi,

We are staying at Saratoga Springs and would like to visit the other two hotels.

Does the boat stop at all 3 hotels on the way there and back or do we need to get seperate boats for each hotel?

Thanks

Ross

There are two separate boat lanes. You would need to ride to Disney Springs to catch the boast to the Port Orleans area. I would get off at French quarter, walk around and then walk to Riverside. And go other than dinner time. You could wait for a few boats before you get on. They do have extra boats to clear long lines, but it takes time to notice and to get the boat to the right place.

Thank you. Thats a shame. I was hoping it would be like the boat from Hollywood to Epcot which stops at each hotel. I will need to allow 2 hours to get from Springs to Port Orleans, look around and back again?

2 hours sounds about right. POR is lovely and if you have time, I think worth a stop. OKW is nice but I personally like POR's grounds better. If you go to POR in the evening, stop in at the Riverside location to catch Yeeha Bob's show in the lounge. Well worth it.
The boat ride only takes about 10-ish min itself but you may have to wait for a boat at any place. If you are staying at SSR, it's faster usually to just walk over to the boat dock behind Rainforest cafe and take the boat directly to POR. I've done this several times. Especially with the new walkways at DS, it's easy and usually quick.

You can walk to OKW from SSR. There is a nice pathway between the two resorts. Or rent a bike at SSR and bike along the pathway over to OKW which is what we do.
