Disney Combines Magic Kingdom Water-Taxi Route for Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness

Cast members cite accessibility limits on boats as the reason for shifting to a shared loop.

Overview

  • A single boat now departs Magic Kingdom, stops first at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, then continues to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
  • The direct Magic Kingdom–to–Fort Wilderness boat has been removed, leading to longer waits reported at the Fort Wilderness dock.
  • Travel time from the park to the campgrounds has grown from about 20 minutes to roughly 35 minutes due to the added stop.
  • Only large enclosed boats can carry mobility scooters, while smaller open-air boats require folded strollers, with a large boat followed closely by a small boat under the new pattern.
  • A separate water-taxi linking Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Wilderness Lodge begins operating in the afternoon, according to the reports.
