lklasing 16 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Anyone know what time the FW/WL/Contemporary boat starts running? My daughter is at WDW right now (without me! gasp!) staying at the Poly and has 7:30 ADRs at TE tomorrow morning before the segway tour. They thought about taking a cab but don't want to have to take an internal bus if the cab won't sneak them all the way to the settlement, so I'm thinking that monorail to the Contemporary and the boat to the fort is the best plan. Anyone know?Thanks!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 The small launches between WL/CR/FW start at 6:45 am Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blonde Bunny 3 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Here's the signs from the Fort launch. I took a picture last trip because I can never remember. Now I don't have to!https://goo.gl/photos/97xmBNenXB9uQ3RRAhttps://goo.gl/photos/C23obhKxoJCF4kDi6 (Sorry, didn't know how to upload photos- hopefully the links will work for ya) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lklasing 16 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks! Funny story about this. After getting Carol's response last night, I told Danielle exactly what she and her group should do - take the monorail to the Contemporary, then the boat to FW. Easy peasy. But what do they do instead? They decide that they know better than me (or maybe chose to listen to a CM instead of me) and took the monorail to the MK instead of the Contemporary. They then learned that the MK boat didn't start running early enough for them to make it to the Fort in time, so they jumped back on the monorail to the Contemporary and did what I told them to all along. Never wanted to say I told you so as bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Since you guys were talking about the boat lauch I wanted to ask a related question. Do strollers have to be folded on the boats? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aubreyhelene 1 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 We have breakfast tomorrow morning at the Royal table in Magic Kingdom at 8:30am. Is the easiest way to get there to take the boat to the Contemporary and walk to MK? Or should we get a ride there (we do have someone that could drop us off there)? Trying to figure out the easiest way. I know that boat starts at 6:45 am, but in what time increments? Thanks in advance for the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easiest would be as you said boat to Contemporary and the short walk to MK. Its a quick ride and the water is beautiful in the morning like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easiest would be as you said boat to Contemporary and the short walk to MK. Its a quick ride and the water is beautiful in the morning like that. Just make sure the boat you board is coming from the left of the old Discovery Island (Wildnerness Lodge). If the small boat you board is coming from the right of the old Discovery Island, it is coming from the Contemporary, and you will have a longer ride visiting the Wilderness Lodge first. They have two of the small launches running in opposite directions. It takes less time to wait at the dock for the correct boat, than it does to take the extra ride.
