Is there a boat between Magic Kingdom and EPCOT?

You cannot take a boat from Epcot to Magic Kingdom Park but you have another fantastic option! The monorail will whisk you away from Epcot to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). There, you will transfer to a connecting monorail and make your way to Magic Kingdom Park.



No, there is no direct boat service that connects Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT. While both parks offer extensive water transportation to their respective nearby resorts, they are located on different bodies of water that are not physically connected. Magic Kingdom sits on the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, while EPCOT is situated near Crescent Lake and the World Showcase Lagoon. To travel between these two parks in 2026, the most efficient method remains the Monorail, which requires a transfer at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). Alternatively, guests can use the complimentary Disney bus service. While you can take a "FriendShip" boat from EPCOT’s International Gateway to Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom remains isolated from the other parks in terms of watercraft transit.
