Boat Transportation Between Magic Kingdom and Grand Floridian Temporarily Unavailable

Boat service between Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Magic Kingdom is suspended this week for a refurbishment of the Grand Floridian’s dock.

Grand Floridian Watercraft Transporation Unavailable

A sign at a Disney resort informs guests that watercraft transportation is unavailable and directs them to use the Resort Monorail or walkway to Magic Kingdom Park.

We visited the closed dock on Monday, September 9. An A-frame sign directs guests to other transportation options.

A small dock area by a lake, surrounded by green barriers and a cart with painting supplies in front. Dark storm clouds form over the horizon. Nearby signage displays maps and information.

The refurbishment of the dock is expected to be completed by the end of this week, on Saturday, September 14. The transportation service should return to normal operations once the work is complete.

We didn’t see any crew members out at work on the dock due to the weather (as you can see by the dark clouds in the photo above), but some of their equipment was stationed outside of temporary green barriers blocking access to the area.

In the meantime, guests are encouraged to take the walking path between the resort and Magic Kingdom or utilize alternative means of transportation, like the resort Monorail.
