The FriendShip boat dock at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort will close for maintenance from August 17 through August 21, 2026, according to Disney.
During the closure, you'll have two other ways to get around:
• Direct bus transportation will run to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
• If you're headed to EPCOT, you can walk from the resort to the EPCOT International Gateway.
The FriendShip boats normally connect Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort with EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, so plan a few extra minutes for your commute during this window.
If you're staying at the Yacht and Beach Club and have plans at either park between August 17 and August 21, build the bus ride or walk into your schedule ahead of time.
