Recent mouse boat info?

[srsmom1]

We are staying off property in a few weeks, and would like to have my sons do the mouse boats if possible one day (we will have a rental car.) Do they still rent them at Downtown Disney? I looked and I think they are maybe called star raycers now? My sons are 9 (100 pounds) and 12 (150 pounds.) Could the 12yo drive the 9yo? Or would I have to take them separately? Does anyone know the current price? Thanks for your help.

They are called Sea Raycers and they are available at the DTD marketplace

It says under TIPS & FUN FACTS on the right sidebar:

Guests must be at least 12 years old and at least 5 feet tall to drive a Sea Raycer. At Magic Kingdom® area resorts, at least one person in the boat must have a valid driver's license. There is a maximum combined weight of 320 lbs permitted for a Sea Raycer, or 2 passengers. All drivers under the age of 18 MUST have a parent or legal guardian sign a release.

Don't forget to wear life vests, which are provided.

I think all the info you're looking for is here:

Thanks. Yes, I saw that page, too. I just am not sure if Downtown Disney counts as a Magic Kingdom "area"...why would they require a licensed driver at one place and not another? It just seems to be worded funny to me, but I may just be reading it wrong. Also is not clear to me even if 12yo can drive it, would they let him take my 9yo, too, for the 2 passenger limit, or would I have to take the little one? I think I am overthinking it.
