Epcot resort area Friendship Boats return to service

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Thursday September 14, 2017 2:01pm EDT · "Friendship Cruisers"

The Friendship Boat service on Crescent Lake has been resumed.

Operating between Epcot, the Epcot area resort hotels, and Disney's Hollywood Studios - the Friendship Boats are a popular choice for guests staying at Epcot area hotels.

The service was closed yesterday due to what is believed to be high water levels associated with Hurricane Irma.

Good to hear the sky still hasn't fallen.

That said, I am not sure the FBs will survive once the gondolas arrive. At least as currently deployed.

IMO

They will still be there. Most of the traffic from those boats come from The Dolphin/Swan guests and there won't be gondola station near there. The remainder come from Boardwalk, which won't have a station either.

Hope so. But wouldn't blame them if they got rid of the boardwalk stops.

I kinda would though because the status quo didn't/won't change. My sense is the gondolas are mean't a "plus" to the Epcot/DHS area but not to replace any of the current transportation methods. There really would be no reason to exclude any of the current stops from these boats.
Well, shoot. There goes my chance to spend a day or two complaining about Disney declining. :depressed:

The Boardwalk turning station will not support loading and unloading.

The closure is all water under the bridge...
