Re: Mini Speed Boats
Most of the resorts that are on the water have the mini boats. I think they are about $22 per half hour.

Re: Mini Speed Boats
I just wanted to say that the "water mice" are so much fun to ride around!

Re: Mini Speed Boats
Try to rent them, if you can, from the water sports place at Contemporary... you can go over and look at Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge, plus the old Discovery Island (which looks haunted now!), as well as the old site of River Country... plus you can go out a little river into the Seven Seas Lagoon... talk about fun!!!

Re: Mini Speed Boats
The Polynesian or the Contemporary are (IMHO) the best places to rent the Water Mice....or Sea Raycers or whatever they're called now
 ....because you get the use of both Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake! Lots more water to ride around on than at other locations!Also IMHO it's worth it to pay about $32 for an hour versus about $22 for a half hour. They're THAT much fun!

Re: Mini Speed Boats
These things are a blast! One of my sons and I rented one at the Poly last year on our last day there before we headed off to Port Canaveral and our cruise!
Next time we stay at the Poly, both my sons, my wife, and I are going to rent them more than once!! They are SO worth it!

Re: Mini Speed Boats
we love to hire a boat at POR and ride right down to DTD its a terrifc journey down and everyone on the water is so friendly-my DH also takes the smaller speed boat and he takes the driving sooooo seriously I am sure in his mind he thinks he's James Bond!!!!

Re: Mini Speed Boats
They are a blast and I love to rent them as often as I can. Just to keep this thread on the correct path the Water Mouse has been retired for the Sea Racyer. The searacyers are very similar, but more nimble.
