PO boat coiming back!

[kenman]

www.intercot.com says the boat will be starting in three weeks!

Thats great news!! I was dissappointed that it wasnt going to be there. Only 58 days to go!!!

I will second that report. This weekend I was on the boat from OKW to DD and the driver (who normally does the PO route) said they hope to bring it back by the end of the month. And maybe have Port Orleans FQ open for Summer.

Apparently the only reason the boat is coming back is guest comments - Wow! They really do Listen!!!

Thats great, we were hoping it would come back by April, now we need EE and later hours 3rd week of April and more nights of Fireworks at MK

 

[candykisses]

That's wonderful news. When we were at DL this past November we really missed the boats.

 

[roymccoy]

We canceled our WDW trip for a few reasons and the boats to DD was one of them. If this turns out to be true, we may be coming back!

I'm glad boats are coming back, we enjoyed the quiet ride to DD. Now maybe they'll bring BOB back to the lounge..

We will be there in June, and this resort was recommended because of the boat to DTD from POR...I am so glad they are bringing it back.

Always loved that boatride. Gald that it's coming back.

 

[BadgerBruce]

We love that boat trip! We love POR & when we stay somewhere else we always make a point of going there to eat at the food court (great selection) & then taking the boat to DD for the evening. The view of DD from the water is fantastic! Great news!

 

[JerseyJanice]

Woo hoo!

What great news! Thanks for sharing that info here, Kenman.

Now, here's a question--have the mansions all reopened at POR? And if so, were they renovated?

 

[RosieRosie]

Did the boats run all day or just at night??

 

[madaboutMickey]

RosieRosie -- the boats ran all day. I think they started mid morning. After 4pm they ran more frequently.

 

[DeeCee]

YIPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Thanks for the news!

I really don't want to crash this celebration but I spoke to 2 different cm's today, one at POR resort and one at central info; both cm's told me the bots are not returning. The cm at central info led me to beleive this is permanent..
sorry everyone

 

[Humphrey1227]

yeah!!!

 

[DC7800]

Looks like we have contradictory rumors (again......). I've seen this several places today (I wonder - all from the Intercot source?), so presumably there is truth to this piece of good news. I hope this happens, but at least we should know something in twelve days (rumored to return on the 24th). Anyone going to be in the world on or after that day to report?

The only part that puzzles me is French Quarter. It's still closed, and isn't it going to look awfully bad to be driving boats past deserted buildings? Without the boats, the FQ resort was fairly well hidden.



or ???????

 

[Winniemouse]

Did they say they we're going to open the French Quarter too?
If they bring the boat back and open the French Quarter I'm really
seriously thinking about making ressies for FQ for our next trip.

CMs at resorts and CRO are notorious for having inaccurate information. It's not their fault. A lot of information simply doesn't relate to their job. And they are not likely to know about something that has not yet been announced to the public.

We all kmow that you have to wait for an "official" anouncement from Disney to finally get the truth. The worst thing you can do is take any particular disney employee's answer to be the truth. Its not that they are intentionally lying, but we all know that you can talk to one person and they will tell you one thing, then the next one you talk to will tell you the total opposite. Just try making phone calls for reservations, etc. , especially if your asking about French Quarter. Youll get totally different answers depending on who your talking to. I'll wait to see it before I believe it.
