Welcome to planDisney, Sean! Your question lured me in, and I've been fishing for an answer to help you plan for your excursion on your next visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Sean,
Fishing Excursions are available at select Disney Resort hotel marinas and advance reservations can be made by phone 60 days ahead of time, usually starting at 7 AM EST. You'll want to cast your line early for the best selection by dialing 407-939-FISH (3474). Both two-hour and four-hour excursions are available from a variety of resorts including
Disney's Old Key West Resort and
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, to name a few.
Each guided fishing excursion includes an experienced guide, rod and reel, tackle, bait, and assorted Coca-Cola beverages, but guests are also welcome to bring along their own snacks and drinks (guests 21 years of age and older are also permitted to bring along their own alcohol). Of course, you'll also want to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, rain gear, and a hat to be prepared for any weather conditions you may experience during your trip!
Sean, Disney's
Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground also offer dockside catch-and-release fishing if you're interested in another fishing adventure! You can rent fishing equipment at both resorts and enjoy some time reeling in the fun!
I hope this helps, Sean, and I hope you catch a big one on your fishing excursion! If you find yourself fishing for more help in any of your vacation planning needs, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! We're hooked on helping guests!
See you real soon,
Alison
