World Showcase Friendship Launches

[jennybobenny]

Does anyone know the route for the Friendship Launches in the World Showcase Lagoon? I know the docks are located at Showcase Plaza (2), Morocco and Germany, but I'm not sure of the route. Do they go back and forth to the same docks (Showcase Plaza to Germany and back) or do they go in a circle (Showcase Plaza to Morocco to Germany)?? My friend asked me about getting from one side of the WS to the other (using the boats) and I had no idea what to tell her. Does anyone know?

The launches leave from the bottom of the World Showcase and go to one location each only.

The launch on the left (as you approache the World Showcase) goes to Germany/Italy, and back to the start - it's a round trip.

The launch on the right goes to Morocco, and back to the same boat slip it came from.

You can't use them to get from one side to the other, except as described above.

How long do they take to cross over?

Depends on how fast they take the boat!

Seriously, it's a few minutes - less time than it takes to walk, if you can get on them right away.

Frankly, the appeal for me is a chance to sit down instead of stand or walk! That's another reason I love the TTA (tomorrow land transit authority) at MK, although I still tend to call it the Wedway people mover. A great chance to sit down and see teh park!
