Where is this boat from?

Thanks! She's a good looking boat, and fairly large. I wonder what the story of her is? It's not like something you just buy off the shelf.

Honestly not sure. Maybe @marni1971 could help.

Is this the boat that you can take from POR to Disney Springs?

Out of curiosity I went on NearMap to see if I could find this boat. I couldn't but I ran across another mystery boat in the marina are behind Epcot. Anyone know what this one is?

That is the Golden Dream. It was damaged in 2004's Hurricane Charlie and then refurbished....It normally was docked in front of the American Gardens theater...

I thought something seemed off! How long has it been missing? From what I've seen elsewhere it was restored after Charlie and re dedicated in 2006.

Looking back through some aerial, it was by the theater in March of 2016, but was backstage in September. Looking through the Google Earth history it seems to come and go throughout the years.

I was wondering, since I don't recall ever going to Epcot later then the end of February and also do not recall ever seeing that boat (with the sails) might they take it out of the lagoon during hurricane season? As I stated I don't remember ever seeing it there, but, if it was it must have been during the times of the year that I don't ever go.

There was a re-dedication more about that here from Laughing Place...http://www.laughingplace.com/w/legacy/lotion-view-231.asp/

Yep. I'm pretty sure it's not there now. Will check when I'm at Epcot.

Yeah, the ship isn't there at the moment. I assume it does not move under its own power right? Would be cool if it sailed on the lake.

I was watching some of my videos from my trip last year around this time and Golden Dreams was docked...So within the year it was removed...My guess it may have been taken backstage during Hurricane Matthew and they wanted to be on the safe side..
