Friendship Boats within Epcot

[Abatts]

Are the friendship boats WITHIN Epcot (world showcase) open & running? Anyone know the hours?

 

[holden]

I didn’t see them running when I was there two weeks ago. I’m not sure they can with all of the barges in the lake.

I saw them running when I was there in early April. They can def move around the barges.

They were in January. Don’t know the schedule though.

There is one running between the Canada-side dock and the Morocco dock.

They were running in March, but not sure of the hours.

 

[lockets]

I do know they don’t run till park close because I’ve missed the last boat a few times. Off the top of my head in January they stopped at 7 pm-ish.

They were running in April.

I rode one last week. I never knew what the schedule was though, so the one we used was because the boat was docked while we walked by.

“Beginning at 11:00am, the Friendship boats begin running across World Showcase Lagoon. There are two runs, both originating from launches found at World Showcase Plaza. One goes to Morocco, the other to Germany. The last boat from the World Showcase leaves at 7:15 p.m. The last boat from the countries leaves at 7:30 p.m.”

The 7:15 and 7:30 hours were my experience this January. And there’s only one run between Morocco and Canada.

The Germany run has been closed for years. It is only Canada to Morocco now.

We were at Epcot April 25th and we took the Friendship boat to Morocco.

I was there last week and took the boat to Morocco. Couldn't even remember the last time I boarded the intra-EPCOT boat. This time I happened to see it docked and thought eh, okay then.

The boat across the lagoon used to usually start at 11 when the World Showcase fully opened, but now if often starts earlier. The exact time it opens varies depending on how many boats and captains are available, and whether any new captains are learning how to dock a boat. Last boat usually leaves Morocco around 7:30 pm.
