"Rather boring and hot!" 13 years ago by 2Simple

I'm not a big fan of the riverboat. Yes, it's pretty and can be relaxing, but mostly it's just hot and stifling, especially in the hot time of Florida. In case you don't know, Florida's summer lasts from March to November. It's really slow, and there's not too much to see. I went on it last year, and I don't even remember anything I saw, so it couldn't have been that fantastic.
Don't waste your time with this one.

"Very relaxing and enjoyable" 15 years ago by Spaceship_Rob

We love this ride, especially after a good lunch in the Magic Kingdom.

One thing that we wish was still available is the walk around the top deck/wheel house. In 2004, the top deck was open and one could visit the "Captain" in the wheelhouse and blow the steam whistle. Also on display was the Captain's Cabin, complete with writing desk and props to make it appear as it might when in use.

We also enjoyed talking with the "Captain", a woman who was a fountain of information about the Riverboat and Disney in general. It's too bad that they've sequestered the "Captain" away from guests like us.

We'll still enjoy the ride!

There's nothing wrong with a cruise on an old steam boat around one side of MK. It somewhat resembles the railroad though. It's a pretty good ride.
