OKW-DTD Ferry schedule?

[SleepyatDVC]

Anyone know the ferry schedule for the ferry between OKW and Disney Marketplace? We'll be there in January.

More importantly, the time for the last ferry back?

Trying to decide whether to take the ferry or drive over and back for dinner.

Thanks.

Looks like you will be there the same time we will be! I believe the Ferry stops running around 10:30 or 11, but not sure about that. We love to walk over to DTD and take the ferry back.

Where are you planning on dinner? That might help make your decision. If it is going to be at Rainforest, or anything on that side of DTD, the ferry is handy to it. If it is at PI, then I would drive. We usually find driving to DTD easier than taking the bus. The stops on the way back always irritate me.

i believe when we were there in aug. the boat from okv to dtd didnt start until 12:30pm. and left every 30 min. after that, i know other boats run up to an hour after the parks close. i would think the last boat ride about 30 to hour after the stores close at dtd.
if your planning on going to pleasure island you better drive.
when you check in their is a sign with times right there by the boat ramp just a few feet from check in.

The last pontoon leaves DD at 9:40pm and returns to OKW from the DD marina. They run every 20 minutes thru the day. If you miss the boat, the buses do run until 2:00am from PI.

Enjoy!

Also, if the weather is cold, very cold for FL, then they will not run then either. This happened to use last Christmas. It got pretty cold and they didn't run at all.

Thanks for all the informative replies everyone!

I knew I could count on you guys for the answers.

Diane, looks like we'll be neighbors! Can't wait for our trips!

Thanks for all the advice - I guess we'll be driving to DTD since I was thinking of having dinner at Disney Westside.

Although, the ferry would be great for a quick shopping trip.
