Poly Water Mice

How many people are allowed to ride in the Water Mice at the Poly?

The Water Mouse boats seat two people, however, there is a maximum weight limit, of which I forget what it is (I'm sorry). I do want to note, however, that the heavier the load in the boat, the slower it goes. When my daughter and I are in it, my husband is running circles around us. It drives me crazy.

300 pounds is the posted weight limit. We put 250 in one with DD and myself and it really slows the boat down. With just me at 165 it really flies.

Thanks for the replies! With two lightweights and one average weight, we wouldn't even make 250 lbs between the three of us. The only concern then would be a safety. Three people in the boat - if they even allow it. My 7 year old would not have a problem waiting for me and my 4 year old to zip around for a bit, but the 4 year old would have a bird! That's why I want to see if they would let the three of us ride together.

Johnnyr, since the "three" people in your party consist of one adult and two children under the age of "14," you will have to take "turns" with one Water Mouse boat. A Water Mouse may contain two people maximum. No exceptions. There are other boats, however, that you may rent. A pontoon boat holds quite a few people, and, I believe, a canopy boat may hold more than two. Please give a call to the phone number listed below to find out what boats can accommodate your party (you could also ask this question at the marina when you get on-site).

I don't know if the Poly has any canopy boats, but click here to view an official WDW photo of a canopy boat.

Here is an official WDW photo of watercraft that are available at the CBR.

Click here to view watercraft that are available for rent at PO Resort.

Click here to view my photo of a pontoon boat (we used this one on a guided fishing excursion).

Those are just a few of the photos that I could scrounge up. As you can see, you will surely find a boat that your whole party can enjoy together. Have a wonderful time in WDW.

I have many photos of the Water Mouse boats, however, I don't have any posted in my on-line photo albums (sorry). If you go to this link CLICK HERE and click on the "Photo Album" link found there, the second photo will give you a view of the Water Mouse boats.
