They really waited until the last minute to announce this. Swan and Dolphin announced this weeks ago.
I'm outraged that people actually take the boat from Yacht/Beach to Epcot.
From Boardwark, if it's there and loading right when you're walking by, then sure. But, otherwise, outraged at the thought of waiting for a boat to Epcot.
Presumably because it's just a little bit farther from them. Not "far", but a little longer.
I'm not sure the exact distances, but walking to DHS always feels worse than the boat to me. While taking the boat to Epcot instead of walking always feels like the wrong decision.

Is that where Skynet goes for vacation?

We are Swan and Dolphin people. We usually take the boat to DHS (well, always now that the construction makes you walk an extra mile it seems). For Epcot, we usually walk, unless we are super tired/boat is there. Even then, we only take it to Yacht and Beach, since it would take longer to take it the whole way to IG.
Long story short, this shouldn't be an inconvenience at all, unless you're handicapped.

The outrage is that they are blaming this clear money saving budget cut, on construction. When will Disney stop lying to us about all of the cuts? #BlameFox
I mean really, they just need to pull the cables, can't they do it at night, why does it take weeks to complete? They are going slow, dragging their feet, so that they can save money by not running the boats. They didn't close the parking lot at DHS to put up the cables... because they make money on the parking lots, that's why. If they charged for the boats they wouldn't close them, they would have found a way!
