Love the boats in the daytime, but the mosquitos at night are awful.

So your having a poll between A) a nice relaxing boat journey, where you have a seat and space to move your arms, or B) being crammed onto a bus like sardines, where the driver keeps telling people to move up, until your not sure which one is your arm and where your legs have gone.
... let me think... I vote boat.
Id also like to add, in the evenings when its raining, being squashed into busses with sweaty wet people isnt pleasant.

Bus!

Found the boats too hot, noisy & slow.

Plus the bus has fun music & announcements.

We tend to leave the parks mid afternoon & the buses are generally a ghost town which helps. In the morning, it's just a case of get on with it.

However! My favourite transport is the walk from Saratoga Springs to Disney Springs marketplace. The walk along the water is just lovely - plus there is a bridge that plays non-stop Disney tunes. Always have a boogie along there.

Bus for me. The boat between DHS and Epcot takes too long for me - last time I got so fed up with the speed of travel that I got off at the Swan and walked the rest of the way to Epcot! (I was probably still a bit slower than the boat but at least I felt like I was doing something rather than plodding along on a boat...)

The Express bus service they ran last year was the best! Too bad it's been discontinued

Well. If you put it like that...

I said boat earlier but as Miss fortune just posted, you feel more Disney magic on a bus with the announcements and music.

Still boat though.

The buses do have benefits too, I agree. Air con and convenience for longer journeys. And you get the chance to meet people/people watch too.

But you can’t beat a boat trip’s relaxation. Unless you’re in a hurry 🤣
