How reliable is the taxi boat from HS to Epcot?

[analise]

I’ve only used it once & many moons ago. Do they run as late as the buses?

Runs like clockwork. It is a very slow clock, but it is consistent.

I believe the hours are similar to the busses, but they will shut down in bad weather.

I've never heard of one sinking, if that's what you mean...

With the number off stops the boat makes I walked a LOT quicker to EPCOT than my wife on the boat made it.

It runs reliably IMO. Though I don't like taking that full loop. We walk quicker from DHS to BC if the boat just arrives. We raced it more than once and almost always win

I think it's at each stop every 30-50 minutes (depending on if they have more boats out). If I remember the last time I clocked it (push off to dock) HS -> EP it was about 27 minutes.

Yeah if you're up for the walk, and have a good pace this. I had JUST MISSED the one at EP (like walking into the tent and they closed the gate on me, stood there while they took the ropes off etc) I had a cranky toddler who wasn't going to like sitting so I decided to walk, and I ended up catching the same boat at the yacht club

Typically what I recommend is to take the boat to the Swan and Dolphin and exit there and walk the remainder of the way to EPCOT. The remaining stops take FOREVER and if you’re pressed for time it will drive you nuts.

I always get off at the second stop (Yacht club I think) and walk to EPCOT and always beat the boat.

I was going to say the same - the crossing of the lake between Yacht Club and Boardwalk really slows things down.

Just as reliable as any other form of Disney transportation. Boats generally run about an hour after park closing. Depending on the time of night, if one park has been closed for an hour, the boat will run only from the park that is open to the creasant lake resorts. The wait for a boat at DHS can be very long depending on the time of day so it could possibly be quicker to walk.

Very reliable, HS to Dolphin is ok, then the stops begin so get off there and walk via boardwalk to the International Gateway
