About The BOATHOUSE
The BOATHOUSE is a waterfront dining destination at The Landing in Disney Springs, combining upscale American cuisine with a nautical atmosphere unlike anything else on Disney property. The restaurant sits right on the water and features an incredible collection of vintage amphibious automobiles (amphicars) and classic dream boats that guests can actually ride in.
Inside, the restaurant is divided between a lively indoor dining room with maritime decor — think dark wood, boat memorabilia, and gleaming brass fixtures — and a sprawling outdoor patio that wraps along the waterfront. The outdoor seating offers gorgeous views of the lake and Disney Springs, especially at sunset. There is also a raw bar and a dockside bar for more casual visits.
What makes The BOATHOUSE special beyond the food is the experience. Guests can purchase amphicar tours — rides in restored 1960s amphibious cars that drive right off the dock and into the water. It is one of the most unique experiences at Walt Disney World, and the boats cruising by the patio add to the atmosphere for everyone.
