The Boathouse Boutique, American restaurant and gift shop at Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, United States.
The Boathouse Boutique is a gift shop and restaurant located on the waterfront at Disney Springs in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The shop carries nautical-themed merchandise and clothing, while the restaurant serves seafood, steaks, and oysters at an indoor bar.
The Boathouse opened in 2015 as part of the transition from Downtown Disney to Disney Springs. It was one of the first new venues to open during that redesign of the entertainment district.
The dining room is styled to look like a vintage boathouse, with wooden paneling, rope details, and boat parts used as decoration. These touches give the space a feel closer to a seaside town than a theme park.
The venue sits along the shore at Disney Springs and is easy to spot from the main waterfront path. Plan to arrive early or outside typical meal hours, as both the restaurant and the shop tend to fill up quickly on busy days.
Guests can book rides in Amphicars, rare 1960s vehicles that can drive on roads and float on water. Only a few hundred of these vehicles are still in working condition worldwide, making this one of the few places where you can actually ride in one.
