where would you take out a mouseboat?

[newholiday]

Poly or Contemp? and where would you go? any particular spot you favor over others?
We're planning a dinner at ea. While there we're thinking of renting a mouseboat. Also thinking of pool hopping (DVCers). Also thinking of fitting in Wishes if possible.
Maybe pool hop at Poly, rent mouseboat at Contemp?

I would rent a boat wherever I swam. Just more convienent.
the food is better at POLY you can eat at O'hana's after you
swim and boat.

the big lake is definatally the place to go! lots of room to roam.
you will have a ball..

I would waste time by going to the CR

It doesn't matter at which hotel you rent the watermice. You can explore both Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon - and that's a lot of territory!

Do they have water mice at Swan?

 

[Mouseteacher]

No mice at the Swan but you can go over to the B/Y Club to rent one.

when we rented at CBR it was a very small area and
you couldnt leave it..
has this changed?

 

[sotoalf]

None of the 5 Epcot Resorts have water mice (lakes are too small). You'd have to travel either to Downtown Disney or the MK Resorts.

 

[hellokitty]

so the one's at the CBR are no longer available to rent?

You WILL get wet when using the new watermice.

Stayed at the POLY last week. Rented 2 boats before we left for the airport. We had a blast !! But we all got very wet in the new boats (unless the water is very calm and you are going very fast). The slower you go, the wetter you get when the water is even the slightest bit choppy.

Poly has the new watermice. I've heard that some of the other resorts are still using the old watermice.

Can someone tell me, please, where to find info on the water mice? Like, age requirements, how many per boat, etc., etc. Thanks!

When we were down in July we rented from the Wilderness lodge and it was great. You have access to both lakes. We also rented a pontoon boat which was a nice relaxing ride for the "older" folks.
To rent a watermice you have to be 12. You can fit 2 people in one boat. Everyone wears a life jacket.
Unless it has changed since July, When we stayed at the BC you could rent boats there. We always saw the watermice when we were coming back from MGM. You don't have as much room to go around in. We went to WL and then we would go to the Roaring Forks(I think that's what it's called), the snack bar there. They had a good variety of food and you could take it out by the pool and eat it. Enjoyed it very much.
