When we stay at Disney World‘s Yacht and Beach Club resorts, riding the boat to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios is a must-do. What’s better than taking a boat from a boat-themed hotel to the literal most magical place on earth?

Friendship Boat at Yacht Club Resort

But Disney put a wrench in our plans on August 18th, when the FriendShip Boat dock closed for maintenance. It was supposed to open today, but we found out it’ll be closed for even LONGER!

When we checked out the FriendShip Boat dock today at Yacht & Beach Club expecting to go for a ride, it was still closed! Seeing guardrails everywhere on the day it was supposed to open was SO disappointing!

It’s CLOSED!

We got closer to see that they’ve completely torn up the wooden pier. The top wooden planks have been removed, and the structural beams underneath are covered with a plyboard.

It’s all torn up!

We spoke to a Cast Member who said that the construction workers found more damage than anticipated, so the dock will be under construction for at least another week. The Disney World website says that the dock is currently open as scheduled with no confirmed adjusted reopening date.

So sad!

While the boat dock is closed, you can still access EPCOT and Hollywood Studios with provided transportation. EPCOT is only a quick 5-minute walk from Yacht and Beach Club resorts, and you can reach Hollywood Studios by complimentary bus, the Disney Skyliner, or take the half-hour-long walking path to get your steps in.

There are alternative transportation methods available, at least!
