Hi Lindsey!
Welcome to planDisney! I just returned from a visit to Walt Disney World and we made it our mission to use every mode of Walt Disney World transportation, which included a lovely
FriendShip boat ride across the World Showcase Lagoon.
The FriendShip boat currently travels between the Canada pavilion and the Morocco pavilion. The boat typically runs one hour after the park opens until one hour before the park closes, usually stopping at each dock every 15 minutes. The boat runs daily but is subject to closures depending on the weather, so you may want to ask a Cast Member or look for signage about the boat operation if there is inclement weather. Walking is not a bad option, you’ll just need to answer the age-old question: will you go to Mexico or Canada first?
Your trip is coming soon Lindsey and since you’re planning on visiting EPCOT I wanted to make sure you hear about the update to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! Beginning February 25, 2025
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom will no longer use the virtual queue system. You can access Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind using a standby queue,
Lightning Lane Single Pass or
Lightning Lane Premier Pass. Tiana's Bayou Adventure will be available via standby queue, Lightning Lane Multi Pass, or Premier Pass.
I hope this helps, Lindsey! If you have any more questions in the days leading up to your vacation, please
come back and see me at planDisney!
