Welcome back, Jacqueline! It's a pleasure to have you stop by for help planning your trip in November.
Yes, you’ll still be able to use the Friendship Boat dock while staying at the Dolphin in November, even during the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic. The festival booths and activities are set up along the causeway between the two resorts, but Disney keeps guest access open to the boats. You don’t need a festival ticket to walk through the area, as it’s part of the regular resort grounds.
The only thing you might notice is that it can get a little more crowded in the evenings when the festival is in full swing, but you’ll still have a clear path to the Friendship Boats. They’ll be running as usual, taking you to
EPCOT’s International Gateway and
Hollywood Studios.
So no worries, you’ll have access to the boats just like any other time, even if you’re not attending the festival. It’s a nice perk of staying at the Dolphin and
Disney's Boardwalk.
Jacqueline, have the most fantastic time at the Food & Wine Classic. Stop by and see us again if you have any other planning questions.
Toodles,
Korliss
