    Are the world showcase boats running at Epcot today May 9, 2024?

    All aboard the planDisney ship, Betsy! Welcome, and thanks for this great question. I hope your Walt Disney World Resort visit is off to a magical start. EPCOT is the perfect theme park to kick off a visit, so let's set sail and see if the FriendShip Boats are running across the World Showcase Lagoon.

    I confirmed with a seafaring Cast Member that those FriendShip Launches should be running today from the Canada Pavilion to the Morocco Pavilion starting around 11:00 AM until around 7:15 PM. Keep in mind they often pause service due to those pesky pop-up Florida storms or for any mechanical needs, but in general, they should be available today.

    I recently enjoyed this fun ferry ride with my husband because we wanted to save a few steps to get to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind during our boarding group return time. I wasn't prepared for how scenic and peaceful this trip was! I'll be taking it more often from now on. And sometimes the boat captains share tidbits and tips; ours was a natural comedian and had us chuckling the whole way. He even sang to a birthday girl on board!

    If you're a peanut butter lover, stop by the Smucker's Uncrustables Presents PB&J Garden near the World Showcase bridge. When I visited, guests could choose from a complimentary Uncrustable with either grape or strawberry jelly! The display offers fun facts and jokes about my lifelong favorite sandwich. I hope you enjoy all the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival offers!

    Betsy, I have a feeling your visit will be smooth sailing! Please stop by planDisney anytime.

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
