Free Boggy Creek Airboat rides with Mickey Mail

[Penderbelle]

We got our Mickey Mail yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to find a voucher for a free 30 min Boggy Creek Airboat ride ( which reads as if it is a free ride for everyone in your party but not 100% sure) . It didn't say anything about that when I booked it.
Thank you Disney!

Has anyone else had this and used it ? is it for the whole party or just one?
We did Boggy Creek about 5 years ago and would love to do it again. Just need to try and fit it into the plan!!! First thing in the morning is the best time to go if I remember? anyone know what the earliest boat is and any recent experiences? Will I need to book?

This may sound stupid but what is Mickey Mail?

whole party (= number of guests booked in the room)
you don't need to book
boats operate every 30 min, from 9am to 5pm

I'm a bit gutted, because it was not advertised with the disney booking, so I booked the ride and paid for it ... only to receive the free voucher 2 weeks later ... I think I'll try and ask for a refund once I'm there in a couple of weeks.

that's the enveloppe you get from the UK site with your travel documents.
It comes roughly 2 weeks before you're due to check in at the hotel

We had this voucher and took advantage of it during our August trip.

We only just missed the 10 am departure that left with just 2 people! We were scheduled for the next at 10.45 and by the time we departed we had a full boat - it was GREAT! Our driver did some great slides in East Lake (the expanse of water you come over flying into MCO) and we saw a nesting female gator - we were shocked when our driver encouraged us all to stand on our seats to get a better view - but everyone did and it was a truly worthwhile experience.

We tipped the driver well as we had not paid - but for a free trip - EXCELLENT - well worth the drive up - there are two sites and we went to the East Lake one as I read it was better for wildlife.

Yippee received the Disney tickets and vouchers in the post today with only a week and a half to go. How long does it take to get there as I think the kids would really enjoy the boat trip.

That's a great offer... We enjoyed our time there last year a great boat ride and lots of gators... Go early morning best time for gator spotting so we were told...
