Also, don't forget there's a boat option from Saratoga to Disney Springs. The boat launch is behind the Turf Club restaurant. if you walk from Congress Park to Disney Springs, you enter at the Marketplace section. If you're heading to The Landing area where most of the restaurants and bars are, the boat will take you straight across to the Landing dock. Can save you some time, or more walking. Of course, boats are dependent on weather and conditions to be operational.

I might be wrong but I think the only boat dock currently operating is at the marketplace side. So taking the boat is much longer than the walk from congress park.

Have they shut down the Landing docks? Last time I was there (it's been a year), they were still running Saratoga over to Landing. OKW and Port Orleans were going to Marketplace. And there was the Springs shuttle that went from Marketplace to Landing to West Side.

If the Saratoga boats are routing over to Marketplace dock, it might still be worth if for Grandstand, Carousel, and Springs folks who don't want the extra walk over to and through Congress Park, or dealing with the busses, but certainly not worth it for Congress Park people or much of Paddock who could just walk over.

I stay at Congress Park 99.9% of the time, so rarely use the boats, but did occasionally find it convenient if I was at the main building and wanted to get to West End or one of the restaurants - it was worth hopping the boat and taking it straight across to Landing.

I really thought it had been since Covid that they have only ran the boats from Saratoga (or any other resort) to the Marketplace.
I think it has to do with security. I don’t think there are security checkpoints at the other two locations.
