I'm sure the larger Castaway boats are more convenient if you have strollers or ECVs, but there is something charming about the little launches. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for peak hour traffic, during less busy times, though, they provide a lovely way to get to from point A to B. They are quieter and don't seem to have the amount of vibration as the Castaways. As you are closer to the water, you hear the lapping of the waves against the side and the breezes that come across the lagoon. We always make time to take the boat over to the Polynesian for some Dole Whip, then stroll home. It makes for a relaxing diversion.How has the monorail been lately? Has anyone had any issues.
I truly wish the boat was bigger (like the one WL uses) it would make staying at the Grand a little easier. I have to say we just stayed at WL and the boat was a pleasure not having to fold up the stroller and not having to wait for another boat because the boat is small. Truly wish for deluxe pricing the grand would have a bigger boat too
May I wish my dear American Gfers a very Happy Thanksgiving? I hope you've had a lovely day!
