WL Boat Transport Question

[minniebride]

Does anyone know the schedule for the boat to MK?

What time does it start/stop running, how often does it come etc?

Also, does it go directly from WL to MK or does it stop at other resorts along the way?

I'm just wondering if there is a boat that goes from WL to FW or one of the other MK resorts along Bay Lake.

Thanks!

The red flag boat to the Magic Kingdom operates from a half hour before it opens and hour and a half after it closes. Now on the mornings the Magic Kingdom has AM Extra Magic Hour take that into account and when they close later for PM Extra Magic Hours.

They have another boat which is the one with a blue flag that goes just to the Contemporary and Fort Wilderness. The hours for that boat is 6:45 AM - 11:30 PM which is the same time 365 days a year.

So....just to clarify, the red flag boat DOES take into account EMH & alters their schedule to accomodate that, is that right?

Yes it does.

The only time we take a bus to MK is if we have an early ADR at Crystal Palace.

You're welcome and yes that's correct.

Thanks to you both!

How often do the boats run? Every 15 minutes?

& about how long are the boat rides? I'm guessing 25 minutes, but I'm not sure...

It's been a long time since I last stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, however I want to say the boats come every 20 minutes and the ride to the Magic Kingdom was about 10 - 15 minutes or maybe more.

Hi,

When I had an 820 am ADR at Crystal Palace I took the boat from the WL to the Contemporary resort ( starts at 645 am I think ( maybe 655am) and then walked in 10mins to the MK entrance)
