Resort Thread Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE

Is the WL boat the first stop in the way to MK? May have to start using the bus as well! We usually use two scooters with us so sounds inconvenient all around.

Not 100% sure, but if they are stopping at the WL from the MK first to unload, then I would guess they are letting people board to go to the MK, they will just have to go to FW first to unload and load FW guests. Will be interesting to hear that feedback!

The boat will start at MK, go to WL, then FW and back to MK.

The change reportedly has to do with the amount of boats that can accommodate scooters and strollers. Scooters can only travel on the large enclosed boats, not the small open air boats. And strollers have to be folded up on the small boats.

With the updated route, a large boat now stops at both resorts, followed closely by a small boat.

I would withhold judgement at this time.

As with most WDWnt posts this does not make sense unless they are removing (1) of the Cabin cruisers from service. They have always had the combination of a Cruiser, and a open Resort launch for the WL and Ft Wilderness alternating throughout the day.

In the morning for MK opening they always ran the combination of having both boat types from each resort to MK.

I'm trying to withhold judgement....it's kind of not working!

Quote from WDWnt post: A third water taxi connects Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, but this route does not begin operating until the afternoon.

The example I will use is that they did not even know when the Bay lake boat loop starts which is 3 PM.

Not sure if this counts as an “official confirmation”, but poster over on the CCV Thread stated they confirmed the situation with member services…

Just confirmed with Member services.

The reason is too many ECVs. What a ridiculous “solution.”

Make service worse for the majority for the sake of the few.
