Germany Friendship Boat Dock Reopens in EPCOT

For the first time in forever, boats are departing from the Germany boat dock in EPCOT! The Germany boat dock is normally closed, with boats leaving the world showcase from the boat dock in Morocco. Work on the Morocco boat dock has resulted in the return of launches to and from the Germany pavilion.

The Friendship Boats offer a unique and relaxing way to travel between the front of the park and the World Showcase. There are a total of four docks, also known as Friendship Launches, located around the lagoon. In the past, visitors could journey from Canada to Morocco on the west side or from Mexico to Germany on the east side.

However, since the summer of 2016, the Mexico and Germany launches have seen little use. The route often had to be closed for the “Illuminations” nighttime show, leading to the decision to keep it closed. The Morocco boat dock is currently closed for refurbishment, resulting in the transition to the boat dock in Germany.

No word yet on how long the dock in Morocco will be closed.
