Definitely try the boats!!! They are super easy to get in and out of. It's not like a regular boat entry at all. In fact, they're easier to get in and out of than the buses FOR SURE! Plus, the seating on the boats is more open and you're not jammed into a seat like on the busses. They do have an option to use a ramp to get off and on, and you can even sit in the front, so there's no 'steps' AT ALL. It's a zero step entry and the front of the boats have a clear/fully covered window to block the wind. They are so simple. They are made for people to enter and sit in a wheelchair (my daughter was in one due to foot surgery the last time we visited). No steps necessary at all. And, it's a lot less walking in and out of the parks. The bus drops off in the parking area of the Universal transport area...The boat delivery is RIGHT next to the park entrances.
