GOOD NEWS! A Hotel Transportation Perk Has RETURNED in Disney World

One thing that we LOVE about Disney World is how many modes of transportation you can use to get around the resort.

Disney Springs

You’ve got good old reliable Disney buses, the fun Monorail, and the thrilling Skyliner. But one transportation option some guests miss out on is the boats, which are probably the most relaxing form of Disney transportation. Well, a boat transportation option between Disney Springs and some Disney hotels was temporarily suspended, but we’re happy to report that it’s officially back!

Earlier this month, the Sassagoula River Cruise Boats were temporarily suspended to and from Disney Springs. These boats run between the Springs and a few different Disney hotels, including Disney’s Old Key West Resort, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. A Cast Member informed us that the boats would be closed due to some work being done on a retaining wall by a bridge.

Boats

As of today, August 31st, those boats are back in service. We stopped by today and the sign at the edge of the pier notifying guests of the closure was gone.

No signage

We also noticed that boats were running to and from the pier regularly throughout the day. So this hotel transportation perk is officially back up and running. If you’ve never used it, we highly recommend it! It’s a great way to visit several Disney World hotels from Disney Springs, but it’s also a great way to get to Disney Springs from those hotels. It’s relaxing and scenic — what more could you want?

Boats are running again
