Hey Howdy Hey Mary and welcome to planDisney!
Resort Transportation is one of the many perks you can enjoy when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. There are many forms that can get you virtually anywhere you need to go while onsite. The one catch with the various forms is environmental factors that may interfere with operations. Let's go over the current status.
As of now, it looks as though operations of the boats from Disney's Saratoga Springs to
Disney Springs are back up and running. Earlier this spring/summer, they were temporarily stopped due to lower water levels. Operations of these boats and other forms of transportation are subject to change.
The closer you get to your vacation the more I would keep an eye on the weather. If Central Florida does see another drought, this may impact water transportation across the resort. Be sure to check with the Cast Members as well when you arrive about the operations as they will have the most up-to-date information to share. In the case the boats may not be running, Disney always has a backup plan. Typically they will have bus transportation to give Guests the option to get to and from Disney Springs. There is also a very nice walking path to get to Disney Springs just for another option!
I hope you have a Magical stay during your upcoming vacation and please let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
