We've stayed at the Lodge many a time and we used the boat alot, never really cared where it was going, one way or another it would make it to the MK, some times we got on the boat that went to FW first, okay by us, no big schedule we're on, and we roam around, hit the Settlement Trading Post, see the horse barn and catch another boat, if we end up at the Contemporary, we peruse the resort alittle and just walk to the MK. If we're in a hurry to catch a parade, we get the correct bus headed just to the MK, only 2 boats dock here, I believe, green and blue flagged and the signage is well placed, trips only 10-15 minutes, boat doesn't rock and is a great ride with alot to see.
