The Boat House construction at Disney Springs The Landing

[TimeTrip]

Sitting having oysters and shrimp from the raw bar while contemplating entrees. A manager stopped by and I asked about it. The manager confirmed it.

The only other bit mentioned was that the "for two" entrees will be 4 credits. It was also mentioned that they would not reduce the quality of the food after I mentioned that the community was worried. According to the manager this is a Gibson restaurant and they wouldn't do that.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed because this place is great.

Good work on getting the info!

Any idea if it's also moving on to Tables in Wonderland?

Got a chance to ask. They have a military and cast discount. As for TIW, they're considering it... but from reading the body language and acknowledgement that 20% is a big discount, my guess is that its unlikely.. :-(

The Boathouse will accept the Disney Dining Plan starting Monday, May 18 (2 credits for each meal).

The Boathouse started accepting phone reservations earlier this week and will soon be on the Disney Dining website to make online reservations.

Blech. That's really disappointing.

you will be assimilated... Resistance is futile

Does anyone know if when on the DDP, will sides still be extra?

 

[LuvtheGoof]

Well, the WDW website hasn't been updated. Still says no plans accepted. Can someone who is there verify the information?

Yep its a done deal.

It does say it when you book the reservation, when you get the confirmation email.

Well, there goes the restaurant. I'm still wondering if they will charge 2 credits each for the entrees that are advertised as for 2. If they charge 4 dining credits for one steak, people might be a bit hesitant, even though the restaurant is probably barely breaking even. And yes, what does that do for the sides that are extra?

Yes it is 4 for a serves 2 dish.

Yea, I asked the same thing. I'm curious to see how the sides will work

I was thinking the same about the amphicar and dockside bar sign. Everything else just looks so perfect, those stood out as weird for some reason...but I'm not sure why.

Many of the outside Boathouse auxiliary signs (Dockside Bar, Amphicar Launch and Landing, etc.) will be replaced soon with signs in the "Disney Springs" format and style. Unsure what they will look like, but the existing signs (and their color scheme) will be replaced. Source: Management.

That is great news! They didn't make sense, so really glad to see that being done.

Photo update as of Wednesday, July 15. Finally, last night the "hanging boat" was installed at the front entrance to The Boathouse. The boat is mostly hidden by the large palm trees, but the iron beams on the second story exterior were designed for this feature. The temporary straps holding the boat should be replaced with something more nautical in the future.

Boat is a nice touch.

they will need to move these palms a bit to the sides.

so it doesnt block the text, or the boat.

Update as of Thursday, July 16. Overnight, the palm tree branches were trimmed back so the boat and the building stand out more. The boat "straps" are gone now, with permanent supports in place. A drain system was installed to remove rainwater that might collect inside the boat.
