Epcot Boat ?

[Serenity]

I can't find my maps from Epcot from our last trip - trying to find out if they are still offering the boat across the lake from the FW to bacl of WS???? If is does still run, can anyone tell me where the pick up and drop off points are and about how long a trip it is?

Thanks for your help.

As of last week the dock at Morrocco was under rehab. The boat goes from FW to Germany only right now.

Thanks Terry S! Glad to know it is still running.

Does anyone know where the dock in FW is? Also, any idea on about how long it takes to cross?

Any info would be appreciated. Anyone know where the dock in FW for the boat is or how long it takes to cross?

Thanks in advance.

The dock is right between the 2 gift shops (I think closer to the one on the Mexico side). I don't know how long it takes to cross to the other dock, since I've only crossed from Morocco, but I'd guess maybe 10 minutes.

Actual travel time...maybe 3-4 minutes. Waiting for a boat, loading, unloading...allow 10-15 minutes.

There is actually two FW docks. I guess the best way to describe the locations is one is closer to Mexico and the other is closer to the UK. Normally a boat runs from the FW dock that is closest to Mexico and goes to the dock by Germany and then the other boat goes from the FW dock located closer to the UK and goes to the dock by Morocco. As of last weekend the boat was going from the FW dock closest to UK and going to Germany because of the rehab at the Morocco dock. I would say 10 minutes is a good estimate.

Sorry it took me awhile to respond. Thanks very much for this info. We have never ridden on this boat and my kids were asking about it.

Thanks again.

When we were down earlier this month, the dock by Mexico was closed, just the one nearer to Canada (or the UK as the previous poster said) was open. It dropped us off at Italy, (near Germany) then continued around the lake until it got back over near Canada (so it circles around the lake). The posted wait time was 20 minutes.
