Disney4me Posted August 29 Report Posted August 29 It’s time to CELEBRATE, and celebrate BIG, because a popular transportation option in Disney World is finally back open. Back open! Over at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, you’re located in the EPCOT Resorts area, meaning you’re super close to a bunch of other hotels and delicious dining options (not to mention EPCOT itself). For weeks now, the boat dock near Disney’s Yacht Club has been closed for refurbishment, and it took a little longer than expected to complete. We’ve got great news though — it’s finally back open! It’s true! The boat dock closed on August 17th for refurbishment and was scheduled to be available again on August 22nd. However, that wasn’t the case. We checked on the 22nd, and the boat dock was still closed. Finally, today, August 29th, we can confirm that it’s back open! It’s a few days late, but hey, that’s okay! We’re just thrilled it’s back open now. The dock is back open! During the closure, it was recommended that you walk to EPCOT’s International Gateway to get to the park, or then take the Skyliner nearby to get to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You could also walk to one of the other FriendShip boat spots at the BoardWalk Inn and/or the Swan & Dolphin hotel docks. However, now that the boat dock is back open, there’s no need to stress about needing to find alternate transportation. We’re so happy it’s back open! When we were in the area on August 22nd, we could see that the top wooden planks had been removed, and the structural beams underneath were covered with plywood, so it didn’t look anywhere near being ready. A Cast Member confirmed that construction workers found more damage than anticipated and expected it to be closed for another week, even though the Disney World website listed the dock as open. We’re so glad it was all able to be fixed and is now safe for guests once again. It looks great! Looking for more recent construction news? Check out our posts below. More Recent Construction News!
