Boats at World Showcase in Epcot

[4merlurkerchris]

I know that they have to get ready for Illuminations, so does anyone know what time the Friendship boats that bring you around to some of the countries, stop running for the night?
Thanks!!

The friendship boats only shuttle between BW, Y&B, Swan & Dolphin and Epcot and MGM. They aren't used for Illuminations and continue to run. My son is very afraid of fireworks and we road one back to the boardwalk just as Illuminations was starting.

They also run after Illuminations for awhile until the park clears out. It is a nice ride. If you are in a hurry, unless it is waiting for you and boarding, it tends to be faster to walk.

The boats that run on the WS lagoon stop running between 7:00 and 7:30. At least that's when they stopped in May.

Plus, in May there was only one boat, and it circled the loagoon. It did not stop at the spot up front near Canada. It only stopped up front near Mexico, and the two spots in the back (Morocco and Germany)
