Is the boat from Wilderness Lodge to Contemporary back in service and if not, is there a timeline anyone is aware of?
Thank you!
Thank you!
This. Hope someone from management browses these threads.It will be a mess if they don't have it up and running by the time Hoop Dee Doo re-opens in late June.
Why do you think that? Won't most guests be coming from MK via the direct MK to FW boat anyway? Or did the CR to FW/WL boat carry a lot of HDD guests as well?It will be a mess if they don't have it up and running by the time Hoop Dee Doo re-opens in late June.
I've been staying at Fort Wilderness for years. I think a ton of Contemporary and Wilderness Lodge guests visited for the dinner show and recreation opportunities. The blue flag boats were never empty in the evenings.Why do you think that? Won't most guests be coming from MK via the direct MK to FW boat anyway?

I didn’t realize the numbers were so large coming from CR and WL. We’ve enjoyed that boat route too. I guess that the WL guests will at least have the direct bus to FW, but the CR guests will have to walk to the MK boat dock?I've been staying at Fort Wilderness for years.

That would be the easiest way if you are staying at CR. Go to MK and boat. Or you could monorail to MKI didn’t realize the numbers were so large coming from CR and WL.

On the Grand Floridian & Poly boat last week, the ‘driver’ said she received 6 days training for boat handling… I wasn’t sure if I should be impressed or concerned!We asked about this in March and we were told that the issue is a shortage of captains. With covid, many just called it a day and hung up their captain's hats. We were told they were actively recruiting and training a large number of new captains and that is the reason those routes are not up and running yet (but were expected to be at some point this year).
Ummm, no, don't get on the monorail to go to MK! It'll be a 40-45 minute ride since the monorail goes CR-TTC-Poly-GF and then to MK.That would be the easiest way if you are staying at CR. Go to MK and boat. Or you could monorail to MK
Sadly, no. No word on when/if it will ever return.Any idea if this route is open yet? Staying at WL in March
We were just there in March and it was not back. To go to the contemporary we just took the boat to MK and walked over.Reviving this thread. Is the WL/contemporary boat still down? Any word on if it will return?
It's been reported that the general manager at the Contemporary doesn't want to pay for it (the three resorts WL, CR, FW would share the cost). I don't think there's been any confirmation of that, so take it as a rumor, not as fact.Any word on if it will return?
