Hi, we hired a boat from the contemporary in october and had 30 mins out on the seven seas lagoon (sure this will be similar). We stayed offsite and had no problem hiring, sorry cant remember if we had to show id. It was really relaxing, there were boats out there patrolling in case you got into trouble 😀

I am keen to do this, can you go very far or is it just around the seas lagoon, and did you feel 30 minutes was long enough?

Anyone can hire the boats but you definitely need to show ID. We hired a few years back now but you were able to go through to Bay Lake as well as the 7 seas lagoon. 30 minutes goes in a flash, great fun though

You could go further but in 30 minutes your not going to have time. 30 minutes goes really quickly. It's from casting off to redocking.

We hired one of the Sun Tracker pontoons from the Grand Floridian and the guy was pretty relaxed on the time we had it, it was more or less 30 minutes but you don't have to rush. It was great fun, but the leather seats were hotter than the sun!

What a coincidence I was literally just looking at this on the WDW and also wondering about showing 'resort ID'.. I think it sounds really fun hope DBF is also into the idea
