I have heard that Water Mice can be rented for a weeks time (?) while staying at a Disney resort for the entire family (around $200 total). Does anybody know if this is true? Also, if you stay at the Boardwalk can the Water Mice be taken out at any area (such as the Contemporary's marina) or only the Boardwalk marina? Thanks in advance.

I believe there is something called the Captain's Plan that enables four/five members of your party to have lots of boat and bike rental time for around $200. I think it is limited to the marina associated with your resort, but I would check with the resort for a better answer.
 
I believe you are correct. To get more bang for your buck-try to rent at a resort around seven seas lagoon. Bigger area, nicer view and faster boats. I think the $ is around $20 per 1/2 hour.
You should also be aware of the age and height restrictions if you have any kids that want to drive.
 
Hi Stevemac, welcome to the DIS. I'm really glad you found us.

I'm going to move this to our resorts board for you.

It is only good for the resort you are staying at. I don't think it would be worth it at an Epcot resort. Have Zeek(sp) at the YC marina take you out for a ride on the Breathless (not an Illuminations cruise) now that's worth it!!

Make sure you have a change of clothes or your suits on lol!
 
Actually the Bike and Boat Plan is available at multiple marinas.The plan costs $199 for a "family" of up to 5. At least one of the 5 must be an adult. Various age limits apply for teenagers using the water sprites on their own. It is a length of stay plan, not just one week. It is available for sure at WL, Poly, and YC. (BW does not have a marina, but it is a short walk around the lake to the YC). You must be a WDW resort guest, but do NOT have to be staying at the resort where you join the plan. So BW folks can use it at YC. The plan is NOT interchangable among marinas. So if you get it at WL, you can not use it at Poly or YC. Other marinas may also have the plan. I have heard that CB has had it in the past as well.

All 5 members of the family must be listed when you sign up, but they do NOT have to be present at that time. So if you have family arriving later, you can start using the plan before the others arrive. However, you can not drop and add people to the plan as guests in your party arrive and leave. Once you list the 5 people at the beginning, the names can not change.

The plan includes unlimited use of watermice, pontoon boats, and bikes. Surrey bikes are not included. Young children, not on the plan, may ride along in watermice and pontoon boats, but they can not have their own watermouse or their own bike.

If you are staying at the BW and use the YC marina, you will be limited to boating on the lake in front of the YC/BC and BW (Crescent Lake?), the canal over to the Swan and Dolphin lake, and the canal that goes to MGM. Because this area is smaller than Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon (which are connected by a waterway) over by the Poly or WL, the boats are "governed" to hold down their speed. The result is a slower water sprite experience than is available on the larger lakes. You might want to consider the convenience of using the YC versus the faster ride if you travel over to one of the Bay Lake or Seven Seas Lagoon marinas.

Thanks Ralph (and the rest that took the time to answer), exactly what I needed. Now the speed of the water mice at CR or convenience of the YC marina. Again Thanks.

Just an FYI we were told we could only sign up at the MK resort we were staying at. Not so at Epcot resorts (only one marina). Needed room key to sign up for the package.

Just another example of multiple answers from CM's, still it's a great deal!!
