Disney World’s free transportation system really can’t be beat. It’s FREE, for starters, but it’s also efficient and convenient.
Disney Springs
Between Disney World buses, the Monorail, the Skyliner, and boats, you can get to pretty much anywhere you need to go on Disney World property. But sometimes closures can happen that can affect how you get from point A to point B. For example in bad weather, the Skyliner closes. Other circumstances also affect transportation, and we’ve got a closure to warn you about right now.
As of April 28th, the Sassagoula River Cruise Boats are currently closed. These are the boats that ferry Disney World visitors between Disney Springs and Disney’s Old Key West Resort, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter.
The boats are closed
We spoke with a Cast Member who could not confirm why the boats are closed, but we’re fairly certain it’s not weather-related since it was a beautiful day in Disney World on the day we noticed the closure. It is also uncertain if the boats will be back up and running again tomorrow.
It was a beautiful day!
If you are visiting Disney World and need to get to or from Disney Springs from one of those hotels, buses are running. At Disney Springs, you can find the buses at the Town Center Bus Depot located between the Lime and Orange garages.

Last year, the boats closed in June due to low water levels and were closed again in August due to construction on a retaining wall near the bridge. We don’t have any details about why the boats are closed now, though.
We’ll be keeping an eye on the situation and let you know when the boats are running again, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
