Fort Wilderness Cabins trip 1/31/25...Contemporary boats running?

[zackiedawg]

Looking forward to checking out the new DVC cabins and looking forward to staying at Fort Wilderness again as it's been many years. Got the golf cart reserved, and ready to be there.

Just wanted to confirm from anyone who's been there lately that the boat services between Fort Wilderness / Wilderness Lodge / Contemporary has been restored and has been running lately?

Last week we were staying at Wilderness Lodge. I asked the "captain" of our boat from WL-MK what would be the easiest way to get to FW after our lunch at the Contemporary. He said to just take the boat to FW, and then to WL to get "home." While we didn't do this after all (so can't promise it's running), the guy driving the boats seemed to think it was.

Yes, the boat runs the three-resorts loop, but it doesn’t begin until something like 3 or 4 PM each day (sorry I can’t remember the exact time). I think it might be 3 PM to help transport guests attending the 4:15 Hoop Dee Doo, but I’m not certain.

3pm-10:45pm

Note if applicable, they have been running the smaller launch boats (which are not accessible for ECVs and the like) on this route, not the larger boats (which are accessible).

There have usually been two boats running in an opposite circle, from what I've seen.

Have fun - loved our cabin stay in November.

Thank you all. I was at Disney in December, but at Boardwalk and never went over that way to confirm if the boats were running, but had heard that they were. Just wanted to be sure. The 3pm or later cutoff shouldn't be an issue for me as I'd most likely be using it for access to Contemporary or Wilderness Lodge for dinnertime or early evening...just much nicer to have the direct route instead of having to take a bus or transfer at MK to monorail. I'll probably visit the DVC lounge and a dinner at Steakhouse 71.
