The Boathouse & Vintage Amphicars

The Write-Up

The full story

The Boathouse at Disney Springs is a lively, classic waterfront room where guests sit by the water for Gibsons steaks, a raw bar with Lucky Duck oysters, filet mignon sliders, lobster bisque and a grouper sandwich. Diners call it the best restaurant on Disney property and praise the rolls and seasoned steaks, while noting the room can get loud and prices run high. Captain guided vintage Amphicar tours splash from the dock, tying the meal to the lake.

District Story

The story of Disney Springs
