    Do the boats still run between fort wilderness campground and the contemporary resort hotel

    Hi Harry!

    Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your question today. I'm always happy to help fellow Guests plan their perfect trips to Disney destinations around the world. If you ask me, there is no better place to stay at Walt Disney World than the Magic Kingdom resort area, and one of the reasons my family chooses this location again and again is actually because of the boat transportation!

    When staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort or Disney's Wilderness Lodge, I love that it truly feels like you are staying somewhere quite secluded when in reality you are just 10 minutes away from the most visited theme park in the world. I love the view from the boats across Bay Lake, and as you turn towards Seven Seas Lagoon, you get the perfect reveal of Cinderella Castle!

    Good news, Harry, the boats between Fort Wilderness and Disney's Contemporary Resort run daily between the hours of 3pm and 10:45pm. 

    I hope this helps with your planning, Harry! If you have any other vacation planning questions, please reach out to me. I'd love to help!

    Have a magical day!
    Matt
