    Been to Disney 7 times, but not since pandemic. Planning one for 2026. Does Disney still rent jet skis behind Contemporary? Did it through Sammy Duvall’s in years past.

    Hiya, Kevin! Welcome back to planDisney, and thanks for swinging by with such a great planning question!

    I couldn't be happier to see that you're planning a magical adventure at the Most Magical Place on Earth. And you seem like someone after my own Disney-planning heart, Kevin. As much as I love playing in the theme parks, I have really grown to love the awesome activities outside of the parks even more. Let's chat about adding some extra magic to your vacation!

    While jet skis and Sea Raycers are no longer available for rent, there are Motorized Boat Rentals available behind the Contemporary and at other marinas around Walt Disney World. You and up to 9 other guests can take a pontoon boat out on your own to enjoy a scenic trip around Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon. The price is per half hour, but you can rent it longer than that if you wish.

    If you would rather someone else do the driving, you can also book a Fireworks Cruise to enjoy either Magic Kingdom or EPCOT fireworks. Snacks and soft drinks are provided, but you are allowed to bring your own adult beverages if you'd like. My family and I booked a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise, and we enjoyed a sunset cruise before watching the fireworks and the Electrical Water Pageant on Seven Seas Lagoon. This incredible experience is one of my very favorite Disney memories to date!

    I hope this helps, Kevin, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable adventure! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have along your planning journey. You've got a friend in planDisney!

    See ya real soon,

    Mandy
