The boat between OKW and Springs

[psimon]

How often and how late does the boat run between OKW and Disney Springs? I ask because we are getting in at OKW around 8pm and want to go to Port Orleans for dinner and get back to OKW.

Thanks..

1. It should be every 15 minutes at that time of day. Lyft/Über/MinnieVan might be a better option. By boat, you have to transfer at least once in each direction. Your timing could be perfect and be at PO by 8:30 or so, or it could take well over an hour each way.

Picture of the sign on the dock (with beer in hand) Plenty of time to mosey over to PO for supper, back to Springs for a nightcap and still hit the Gurgling suitcase after the boatride home. A perfect plan. Did I mention the lovely, quiet walk back to your villa after the Gurgling Suitcase shuts the doors?

I'd uber/lyft for your trip to dinner. A relaxing boat ride to DS then OKW on the way home sounds nice. You could stop at DS for some gelato!

Another vote for Lyft/Uber/taxi/ Minnie Van. Unless something has changed OKW boat docks at The Landing and POR docks at The Marketplace so you would need to walk or take the Disney Springs water taxi between the two. Maybe after dinner if you want to explore DS take the POR boat back and the boat or bus back to OKW when done. If we are going to another resort from POFQ ( except POR ) for dinner or lunch we use a taxi.

Excellent point @ncc1701 about the different docks at DS.
