Disney just announced what might be the BIGGEST news of the year so far!
Magic Kingdom Ferryboat
For the first time in 50 years, Disney World is expanding its fleet of ferryboats that take guests between the Transportation and Ticket Center and Magic Kingdom. This is a massive surprise, and a welcome one too! Let’s take a look at all the details that we know.
For the first time since 1976, Disney World will be adding a new ferryboat to take guests to the Magic Kingdom! The ferry will be coming next year, in 2027, setting sail in the Seven Seas Lagoon. The boat will increase the Disney World fleet from three to four ferries.
Magic Kingdom Ferryboat
Apparently, a team of engineers and craft workers has been hard at work on the ferryboat for some time, as it’s actually been under construction at a marina in Florida. The ferry will be shipped to Disney World in pieces over the next couple of weeks.
The Ferry
Despite being worked on for a while, there is still a good amount of work left to be done before it debuts at Magic Kingdom. Pieces still need to be assembled, paint still needs to be applied, and that special Disney touch needs to be added.
Hidden Mickey?
Like we mentioned before, this process will take about a year to complete. The new vessel will launch at some point in 2027, with no official date yet, and we can’t wait! For more Disney news and updates, make sure to follow us at the Disney Food Blog!
