DTD Boat Dock Locations

[Hopefully]

Hi,
Can someone describe for me where the DTD boat docks are? Am I correct that there are 2? Is there shuttle service within DTD on the ferries?
How much time should I plan to travel between SSR (Don't know which section yet) to Cirque for the 6 PM show? Is the boat dock near Cirque? What are the ferry routes?
Thanks for any help.

The boats with the blue flags go to SSR, OKW and the Downtown Marketplace.

The boats with the green flags go between the Marketplace and the West side where Circque is located.

The boats with the yellow flags go to POR and POFQ, so don't take those, by accident on the way back to your resort.

You can take a blue flag boat and get off at OKW and walk over.

You can take the blue flag boat to Downtown Marketplace and then switch to a green flag boat to the West side.

The boats stop running at 11:00 pm, but the buses run until 2:00 am, so you can pick the bus back up from the West side to the Marketplace and then take the SSR bus back, if you plan on taking in the rest of the sights after the show.

I always plan at least an hour for transportation anywhere I go.

Since you need to be at the theater by 5:30, You should probably leave SSR around 4:30, 4:45 at the latest.

These were the routes, but they changed with the opening of Treehouse Villas and Paradiso Restaurant at PI.

Now:

SSR & OKW dock at PI. They are separate boats: SSR is BLUE flag & signs, OKW is GREEN.

PO is still YELLOW, and still docks at MP.

The Water Shuttle is now RED, and stops at Westside, PI, and MP.

At SSR resort, the boat dock is behind the Carriage House (check-in area). You can walk there, or, if you're at a really distant area, take any bus except DTD to the Springs station.

The walk from the PI dock to Cirque is not too far. I'm thinking about 10 minutes, but it may be less than that.

Or, just get on the DTD bus if one comes along. Once on the bus, it should take about 10-25 minutes to reach the PI stop, depending on which stop you board at and on how traffic is between MP and PI. The PI bus stop is about the same distance or a bit closer to Cirque than the PI boat dock.

Thanks Missytara and Joe.
I thought the routes had changed with the opening of the Treehouses. Isn't there a boat stop there as well?
Since I have no idea of where our Villa will be located it is hard to plan.
We are trying to decide if we want to do Cirque on arrival day.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Missytara and Joe.
...with the opening of the Treehouses. Isn't there a boat stop there as well?

Yes, the SSR boat goes to the Treehouses after the main stop. That's why they split OKW out; it's on a different channel and it would take too long to do all 3.
