I don't know about now but the first time I ever stayed at Fort Wilderness (1997) I wanted to take the boat to get to early entry. I thought it would be the fastest way. I was very wrong. I don't know if the fact that it was an EE day at the MK made a difference but I waited, with a mob of other unhappy guests, for the first boat to show up for over 30 minutes. It finally arrived about 5 minutes before the start time for EE. I don't know if that was an isolated incident or not because I have never used the boat again to go anywhere first thing in the morning.
