This is a cool and unique experience. The kind of thing that an 8 year old remembers as the coolest thing they did at WDW. The "I remember when Disney was actually special" kind of memories.
Me (Dad) is looking at my wallet. The kids are looking at freakin' amphibicars!

Pardon my curmudgeonly ways but I paid for rides when I bought my park tickets. Yes, I know this is not technically within a "park" but I guess maybe I am a little too stingy to fork over more money for this. I know very few will agree with me and I am not looking for validation...just providing my $0.02.
Sure, if you have a hundred bucks.

I don't know why, but I do feel that I am more willing to pay for something like this off of Disney property. And I know this is third party, but it's just that thing that I often feel I have thrown enough money at WDW. Time for something completely different.

Eh this is nothing new to me. One cruise excursion I went on in Mexico a while back, a normal looking bus went into a lake and had cameras on the bottom that looked down into the ocean that projected on TV monitors. And that was the same amount of money, so I believe this is still a rip off. $35 or not.
I will enjoy looking at them from a distance though!

Don't think I'll be paying that unless I get a meal and massage included,, however good luck to those who pay it. I'm sure it will be fun for them and something for onlookers to enjoy watching also.

Join me, together we can rule the galaxy.
I might given the right time of day if my family was interested too.
This is a unique enough experience to justify spending a little extra to something that would be remembered. Once the entire new waterfront build-out is complete it might be very fun to get out there on the water with a full tour guide in an antique car.

As an adult I can't see me paying that.
As a parent I can see me paying that in a heartbeat.
I'll take this over dropping 100 bucks at Bippity Boppity Boutique.

If we could drive ourselves I might consider it. But I've never cared for being lugged around by a paid driver. I love to explore freely when I go boating anywhere. A true vacation in my book is to feel like an adventurer, not a tourist.
If ever they start renting these things out by the hour for us to drive freely...then I might open my wallet up for something like this.

While I agree with the spirit of your post. I have driven one of these amphibicars, and it is a tricky deal. They don't drive like boats, well maybe an extremely over weight, poorly designed boat. I grew up on a lake where, from the age of 12 (1975), I was driving ski boats. I could bring our boat into the boathouse full bore until 20' out and then throw her in reverse. We water skied everyday from April 1st until the lake froze over in October. I wouldn't turn Joe Sixpack from Anyplace, Upnorth lose in one.

That makes sense.
Though it might make for an interesting type of aquatic stunt show having newbies try to drive these things around the lake.

YouTube ready, for sure. HahaThat makes sense.

Insurance concerns must be the driver here (pun intended).
