Hi Lori,
Welcome back to planDisney! Whether you're adventuring around Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park or on a global trek around
EPCOT World Showcase, we’re here as your trusty travel companions.
On my last visit, the FriendShip Boats across World Showcase Lagoon were only available between Morocco and Canada. Previously, FriendShip Launches were also available from the Germany and Mexico Pavilions, but those have not been available for some time. I believe the Germany stop was open for a short window earlier this year while the Mexico dock was under refurbishment.
I checked to see if any updated information was available but I could only confirm the route operating between Canada and Morocco as mentioned above. FriendShip Boats operate between these points beginning 1 hour after EPCOT opens up until 1 hour before closing. Keep in mind that weather closures are always possible.
It’s possible that the additional route will eventually return to service, but unfortunately, I don’t have a target date for if or when that might happen. You can check back with us closer to your visit to see if we have any new details to share, or speak with a Cast Member in person during your trip. I'd also like to mention that you can use the
My Disney Experience App to review transportation options across Walt Disney World Resort and even get
transit and real-time walking directions between many points on property.
I'm sorry I didn't have more information to share today, Lori, but I'm hopeful you'll have a magical visit this fall. Be sure to review the
Global Marketplace menus for this year's EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival before your visit. My husband and I snacked our way around the world 2 weekends ago (we loved the Pan de Elote and Margarita options from Mexico and the Chocolate Amarula Mousse with White Chocolate from Refreshment Outpost) but I'm eager to return in November to sample more of the cuisine.
Come back and see us with more planning questions as you countdown to your trip!
Adventure is out there,
Amy
