Direction of boats between Contemporary/Wilderness Lodge/Ft Wilderness

[gatour]

Do the boats go clockwise (Contemporary then Ft Wilderness then Wilderness Lodge and back to Contemporary) or counter clockwise (Contemporary then Wilderness Lodge then Ft Wilderness and then back to Contemporary)?

There are two boats usually in operation (at least whenever I've been in Thanksgiving and October) that generally try to leave Contemporary at the same time. One boat goes to Ft Wilderness then to Wilderness Lodge the other goes to Wilderness lodge then to Fort Wilderness. Both keep the same loop going so once they reach back to CR they keep the loop going.

Yes, the skippers even wait for each other at Contemporary to stay on an even route. (or so they told me, and they did this when we were riding one night). At WL I ask them where they are going next. Sometimes we ride even if our destination is not the next stop, just to enjoy the ride.

And since the boats meet at CR, if you're going to CR it doesn't matter which boat you board -- they'll both arrive at CR at about the same.

Thanks, we are doing a Resort Christmas decorations tour. Last year we took a bus to WL and then a boat to the Contemporary. I thought I remembered the boat took us to Fort Wilderness before arriving at the Contemporary. This year I thought about taking a bus to the Poly, monorail around and then taking a boat to the WL. Then finally a bus back the Springs.
