Disney Resorts with Boat Transportation

If you’re looking for all the ways to get around at Walt Disney World, we’re covering ALL the resort options in this post that offer a boat or a ferry. As Disney Resort Transportation grows and morphs Disney Resorts with more than just a bus for transportation is always a perk. Here are all the Disney Resorts with Boat Transportation. 

We love Disney Resorts that offer the perks of alternative transportation options. Disney Skyliner Resorts, Monorail Resorts, and even Boardwalk Resorts that offer things within walking distance are all great ways to spend a Free Disney Day without the need for a Park ticket. And if you’re staying at any of these resorts, it’s nice to know there are alternatives when it comes to getting to and from your Disney Resort.
