    Which is a better boat fishing experience, at Port Orleans Riverside or Yacht Club? When can you reserve?

    Hiya Kelly!

    Welcome back to planDisney! I'm excited to hear about your upcoming visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical stay filled with lasting memories to cherish for a lifetime.

    While there is plenty to experience inside the theme parks, there is also a lot to do beyond them as well. As you're aware, you can charter a boat to take you out on one of the various lakes to go fishing. These excursions are available at several Disney Resorts hotels, including Disney's Yacht Club Resort and Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. I'm going to give the slight edge to chartering a boat from the Yacht Club. This is a personal preference because of how much I love the area surrounding the marina, including Disney's Boardwalk. With three resorts surrounding Crescent Lake, it's a beautiful backdrop to take a cruise on the water. Port Orleans - Riverside offers a dockside fishing experience in addition to a boat excursion. This resort will provide you with the most options when fishing during your stay.

    Advanced reservations for guided fishing excursions are highly recommended. The only way to book a date and time is to call and speak to a Cast Member. They will book this Enchanting Extra directly over the phone and help you get set up for an amazing experience.

    In addition to fishing excursions, motorized boat rentals are available at multiple Disney Resorts hotels. If you feel like getting out on the water for a self-guided cruise, you can rent a pontoon-style boat and pilot it yourself. Reservations are not required and boats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

    Kelly, I hope you have a magical time during your stay! Stop back and see us again at planDisney!

    See ya real soon!
