The Boathouse

Updated 6/16/22
For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the  Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide. 

Located in The Landing area of Disney Springs, Boathouse brings you a Signature Dining experience featuring your favorite surf and turf options. Located on the waterfront, you can see retro dreamboats on the dock, watch the vintage amphicars launch, and enjoy a delicious meal all in one place.

Since the Boathouse is located at Disney Springs, you do not need park admission to dine here. You can either drive and park for free in one of the garages at Disney Springs, or take Disney bus transportation. Rideshare services can also pick you up and drop you off at Disney Springs. The Rideshare dropoff/pickup point is located at the Marketplace end of the complex.

The Boathouse is open for lunch from 11:00am to 4:00pm when it switches to dinner until 11:00pm. Meals here typically cost $35-$60 per adult depending on what you order. Of course if you opt for really nice steak, it will get you closer to $50. Dining packages may or may not be used here depending on the season. Please check with your On The Road Travel agent ahead of time to be sure. Reservations are typically recommended but not required. You can always stop by and ask for availability while you shop around the Springs. Seating in the lounge area is available on a first come, first served basis.


Boathouse has a little bit of everything on the menu. From fresh seafood (including a raw bar) to steaks to mac and cheese, you’re sure to find something for everyone in your party. This is a great place to stop for a nice lunch during a shopping day at Disney Springs. I’m a big fan of the “Yacht Club” Club, which is giant and can definitely be shared. Plus the adult Blueberry Lemonade hits just the spot on a hot day. I would definitely recommend sitting out on the dock if it’s not unbearably hot. You get a nice breeze off the water and there’s so much to watch and enjoy while you have a nice meal. Boathouse serves hand-cut fries that are prepared and served fresh daily. They are so yummy that you might think they are sprinkled with Pixie Dust.

Overall, this is a great spot to stop on a non-park day when you have some time to relax and not feel totally stuffed as you head back into the Magic Kingdom.

Gaston's Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a must for me at Christmas and this is one of my favorite recipes for look-alike Gaston’s Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls! I found it on Inside the Magic , so all recipe credit belongs to them, but I have copied it below with some of my commentary and photos of my step by step process. Homemade cinnamon rolls are always going to be a bit time consuming, but these only have to proof for 40 minutes total so it’s really not bad at all! First things first, here are the materials you’re going to need: Mixer (one with a dough hook will make your life much much easier) and bowl Rubber scrapers Rolling pin 2-3 saucepans Microwave safe bowls An area big enough to roll them out 2 metal sheet pans with edges Measuring cups Measuring spoons Medium sized bowl for filling Liquid measuring cup The nice thing about the recipe is it uses pretty basic ingredients that you likely already have at your house. I went to Aldi and bought nearly everything just to see and it was about $20. And o
