Love it

[@shawnokeefe1580]

I visited Discovery Island in my youth it was included with the tickets along with the water parks..

[@StarlahMutiny]

These boats SCREAM disney to me. I love this so so much

[@TheyCallMeFouts]

I was a friendship boat captain when I did my CP in the early 2000s and it was the best role on property! The other captains were so nice and had been with the company for a long time! I loved letting the kiddos “blow” the horn when we were tied up at the docks! And we would tie our shoes to a brick and drop it in the lagoon when you signed off of your role.

I loved this entertaining video of discovery island.thanks for sharing

[@alanarapacz1882]

I loved Discovery Island ❤ It was like a tiny, educational, peaceful Animal Kingdom

[@VincentAlfonso]

Happy 52nd Birthday to the Most Magical Place on Earth!!

[@cheryldailey5310]

Your video feels cozy. I liked learning more history about Walt Disney World. The boats are cool! My family has three dogs. It can be hectic sometimes. 😊

[@MJ-vv2wc]

Thanks Jackie! Missed having those boats last couple of visits. So glad they are back.

[@jdl2496]

always love how super enthused you always are. it rubs off and makes people watching happier. and that's what it is all about!

[@bethmorrow7497]

We love these little boats, pure Disney magic!

[@jayhandson]

What an awesome relaxing video! Thanks for taking us along to ride the blue route! We have fond memories of discovery island. This video was very nostalgic in a way.

[@joniconway5161]

Many many years ago my husband and I and our young children worked hard every year or so to save to come to Walt Disney World! We lived close to Disneyland but there was just something 'Magical' about Walt Disney World that we loved too! We DID visit Discovery Island our first visit to Disneyworld and our package included it as well as River Country! It's a little sad seeing the 'ghostly remains' of these areas but we have great memories!🥰

[@shaneomack5018]

We are in line at Dollywood blazing fury and this vid pops up. Not sure who wins the day today ms Jackie.. but we get cinnamon bread so I think we win 😂

[@wdwexploreandchill]

I am sooo happy the blue route is back! Hopefully it will be available all day soon. Thank you for sharing, Jackie!

[@turcj]

I loved Discovery Island. As a Florida School teacher, I used to take my self-contained special education class to the Ranch to see the horses at Fort Wilderness and then take the same little boats over to Discovery Island to see the animals and birds. It made a great day adventure with unique transportation.

[@treym2346]

Those boats remind me of the Wonkatania from Willy Wonka

[@ciadaclark9110]

What better way to spend a sick day with Jackie. Thank u for making my day a little better

[@crystallakebuckeye398]

Yes! Blue Route!!! So glad it is back! I went to Discovery Island as a kid! 👍🙂

[@Knett1000]

I love the boat transportation! I just wish they would bring the water mice back. Those things were so fun to drive around! Love your Vlogs Jackie, always entertaining!

[@masters1313]

Jackie, while watching this engaging blog I come to realize that being a native Floridian (born & raised), currently 69yo & will turn 70yo in Dec, I did go to Disney World in 1971 purchasing just E tickets for the major rides ( I had no money back then, 12th grade )! Now, Disney is a 'lifestyle' for many.... 'Hello J a c k i e 😃'. Thank You for the boat ride.......

[@tomklock568]

What a wonderful experience and was to celebrate!

[@kathymcel]

I love the boat rides at disney.

[@PhattyMcdugen]

18:51 You know what they say, if the dock is a rockin... ... ... it's probably windy

[@bdchiaccio]

So relaxing to watch and well filmed

[@mickeysmyspiritanimal223]

Yay! It’s Jackie! 👸🏼 Thank you for making this video! I have always wanted to travel between Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness and the Contemporary! I love the boats!🎉🥳🏰❤️💛🖤🥰

[@OmegaBahn]

When you get the chance, on summer visit 1000 Islands at Alexandria Bay, NY with Sam. Last I was there was 2018, stayed at Capt. Thomson Resort with our room facing center of the Boldt Castle along the St. Lawrence river. Take the river tours. It'll take you to the Boldt Castle and Singer Island Castle. Also there's a classic (wood) boat museum on an adjacent town too. It's posh. Enjoy!

[@eriktred]

The Queen of Disney b-rolls. I always enjoy your outros.

[@lindaboston9046]

I love these boats, it's so relaxing after a day at the park, thanks! Love this video!❤️

[@dawnherrmann2734]

Great idea for a video!

[@NessieMay]

Who doesn’t love a good Disney boat ride? Thanks for sharing! 🚤🤩

[@Valerie71218]

Love the video

[@tracymacarthur5699]

I'm from Newcastle UK, and I say root (route) 😂 and I love the boats

[@VincentJ55]

Thanks for another great video. We loved using the boats. Kay's son Joey (the one in the chair) loved riding them so we used them as much as possible. It doesn't matter what you're doing it looks as though you're having a great times doing it. Thanks for taking us along

[@chuckschaefer9477]

Loved Discovery Island. What I remember is you needed a ticket to go.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

This was a cool vlog for a Disney Birthday!

[@toddventure]

I was there on opening day. I was 4 going on 5 on October 12th. We celebrated my birthday early on October 1st. We were also there on opening day of Space Mountain in 1973 and we were on the Wonderful World of Disney. You can see me and my brothers on the front row during the opening ceremony.😊❤ I remember all the animals and birds on Discovery Island. Lots of great memories with the family. Good times.

[@cheerchick070330]

I loved this video ❤ it was so peaceful and made me want to be there!

[@karens8633]

3:40 Yes, I visited Discovery Island in 1986. They kept their exotic birds there, so it’s been replaced by Animal Kingdom. Now all the wild animals get it to themselves. I also went to River Country on that trip! Our first visit was in 1975, my family stayed at Fort Wilderness in a Motorhome. Our dog had to stay in the Disney World Kennel, so nice that they can stay with you now!

[@goofysgal3070]

Thank you so much for sharing your birthday celebration with us. I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice but I sure do love my Spiced Apple tea

[@goofysgal3070]

While watching this video I realized I took this blue line boat in 2016 while visiting Disney property. It's such a great ride. Thank you again for sharing

[@zig_zagman]

My family visited Discovery Island in 1978. It was cool! Lots of exotic birds, boardwalks around the island and pirate themed decor. I think there were boats from Fort Wilderness and the Contemporary to the island.

[@SuzanneA618]

What is it about Disney lovers and methods of transportation ? ❤ I adore all of the options Disney has to offer 😊 Skyliner, Ferry, boats, train, and of course the monorail 😍 what is your favorite? Mine is the ferry 🚢Thanks for the wonderful video!🎉

[@SuperEnthused]

Ah yes the Skyliner too! I dunno but we sure love our theme park transportation haha!

[@johnfisher5654]

Thank you Jackie for a wonderful day. I’m a bit of a nerd myself. I find it fascinating to explore the less popular and sometimes the unknown nooks and crannies of the park’s. Your upbeat and fun curiosity. You pointed out some fun facts I didn’t know about. Keep up the great work. I look forward to following you and Sam on your adventures.😊❤

[@christinenapoli5106]

Great relaxing mini cruises back & forth at my fav Wilderness Lodge. Also favor all of Joffreys drinks. Love all the stops you made today…always love shopping (w your money)! 😊

[@sierrasmom2015]

This is such a beautiful video. It felt like we were actually there :) These resorts and the boat transportation are a favorite part of WDW. And it was fun to see the Halloween decorations - can you believe that it is already October? Another really great vlog. Thanks Jackie!

[@trish5556]

Thanks for sharing. When we lived in Apopka years ago, and were annual passholders, our fav thing to do was to take the boat from the Contemporary to Wilderness Lodge. At the Contemporary dock they used to have fish food in dispensers, and it was fun to feed the fish there. We went to the Lodge and hung out by the fireplace. Another fav thing to do, which I don't know if they will ever bring back, was to go to the Polynesian Resort and rent little 1 or 2 person speedboats and ride them from 7 Seas Lagoon to Bay Lake. It was fun to jump the wake of the ferry boats with those little speedboats! They went too slow with 2 people in them though; my husband and I learned that the hard way! Your video brought back lots of memories.

[@kellark]

Its refreshing to see areas in Disney that the typical Disney Vlogger doesn't bother covering.

[@SuperEnthused]

I love sharing the lesser traveled areas and things 💕 hidden gems in any situation!

[@junebug58]

💙LOVE the blue boats SO much💙 Spent many weekends living in FL just riding the boats, not even going into a Park!!! Wilderness Lodge is my FAV resort😎Was lucky enough to first stay there during its `soft opening' many Moons ago! What we paid to stay there then for a week would blow people's minds with the prices today😲

[@cyndigurule749]

We’re so excited they’re back!!!!! Thank you for hilighting it!

[@florence75349]

Bay Lake Tower is my home DVC Resort and we use to love taking the Blue Route to Wilderness Lodge for dinner and back to BLT! We really missed it on our last trip trips in 2021 and 2022. So happy it’s back! 🥰🥰🥰

[@patknight441]

I remember Discovery Island (Treasure Island back then)from my 1st visit to WDW in 1976 & several more visits until it closed. Lots of great memories. I should find my family's old pics!!!

[@americanvintageadventures]

been a long time since I've rode or even seen that route! Glad it is back!

[@scotthorvath9988]

I agree the boats are truly an attraction.

[@cherylbranson6557]

Thank you Jackie for letting us know the blue route is back! We have been waiting for it’s return for what seems to be a very long time! Yah!! Your videos are always so informative. Yesterday, Sunday October 1, my husband and I were at Epcot seeing the Moana way of water. It was great! A little rainy but that’s okay we were going to get wet anyway, thanks again!

[@mandapleazee]

Those boats are my favorite ! It’s the most unique and most fun way to get transported around to MK and the monorail resorts !

[@curtissimpkins]

what a great fun video again my friend

[@ratbones620]

I’ve always found the RV decorating culture at Fort Wilderness super cool. I really wish more Disney KZbinrs would talk about it and the history of how it came about.

[@annadekraker1358]

Love this video Jackie!! Fort wilderness lodge is really cool!! Love the atmosphere of it!! The boat ride is so cool and I really like the contemporary hotel too!! I love how enthusiastic you are about the boat, and that you had so much fun!! And the thing about root or route!! I would say it’s root, cause I’ve always heard it Route (root) 66!!! 😊😊😊❤️🥰😊😊😊

[@jenniferlauri5512]

My family and I visited the island (Discovery Island) that was originally called "Treasure Island" in 1978. Meandering paths would take you past flamingos, fish, birds etc. On the beach was a "shipwreck" to take photos of---not much else to do...maybe a bird show? The visit was a pleasant diversion from theme park madness!

[@gamberlane]

I love those little boats! They're so much more magical than the other boats. So glad the blue route is back! Do we know whether EVERY resort is getting a Christmas ornament in the resort collection? My family loves to stay at Wilderness Lodge. I am wondering if there will be one for it. I've only seen a few so far.

[@janeclay9684]

Loved these boat rides with you! Can’t wait to do this on our next visit! 😊

[@jenniferjohnston8890]

I love that boat route. Glad it is back!! I have great memories of Discovery Island and always look wistfully as the boat goes by these days. Wish it would come back, but without the animals. I think the animals get great care at Animal Kingdom. But Discovery Island could be reborn as a pirate island or fitness trail or quiet relaxing place with hammocks etc.

[@scenicwalkthru]

Yes!! What a great idea. We miss discovery island too

[@sierrasmom2015]

Great idea!

[@Yey1nasJourneys]

❤ always fun 😊. So glad to be able to explore vicariously, right now, being stuck at home, I’m not getting to adventure. Love the boat ride and yay for getting on it on the first try. Ok, on to watch the rest of the Vlog. 🫶🏻. Ps I say route interchangeably too lol.

[@patriciagreene5842]

Loved the behind the scenes!! Amazing !

[@Montanez823]

❤ This was a super fun and exciting video! Thanks for sharing with the KZbin world .❤

[@donnadonnyy]

I found back some pictures we took from Discovey Island with birds and flamingos on from a holiday in August 1997. Greetings from Europe!

[@stephensims8221]

My parents were there on September 28,1971 for the cast member opening of Disney world. My father was a horticulturist and had the mad tea party area of fantasyland as his work space. I lost him in 2013 but still have his memories in that area of the park when we visit. Awesome video thank you

[@shane5110]

Loved this! ❤ I love it when you travel around the lake by boat or monorail. I'm looking forward to your next monorail trip to the resorts. You need to try that horse-drawn carriage. 🐴You talk like I do: "wind thingy" and not knowing how to say "route." Fun, relaxing. Thank you!

[@catalinalomba7848]

I enjoyed taking the water ride with your video. It felt as I was really there!

[@rachael6956]

Route comes from the Old French word, Rute / Rue meaning Road, way or pathway also the Latin - Rupta translation - “Broken Way ” or Beaten Track A route can be a highway, like Route 66, or all the places you pass through on the way to somewhere, like using a map to find the shortest route. Pronunciation is the same as the word Root. Roois on a tree or plant are the pathway to the ground for vegetation for example. The French word Rouge for Red would not be pronounced ( phoneticly) Rowge for example. I hope this has helped clear up the correct pronunciation of the word Route. Loving your vlogs as always Jackie ❤ Hugs from Rachael staying enthused here in little old Surrey, England

[@ChinaDollTravels]

Boat 🛥️ ride looks fun 🤩

[@16Duvald]

I have to say Jackie that your Disney vlogs are so enjoyable to watch. All the love to you and your beautiful content. Also, I’m surprised you vlogged this on October 1st which was yesterday, because it was also my birthday at the same time ❤️❤️❤️

[@JessicaDaly-g1m]

Great time, Jackie! I love riding the boats.

[@PhattyMcdugen]

9:00 Same!!! Generally, for roads, I pronounce route as "root," and for almost all other instances, as "rowt"

[@AndyC2_]

No idea how I missed this video 😮 Watching now though 😁🙏🏼

[@scotthorvath9988]

I love those boats. I so missed them. Can't wait to ride them in Nov. THNKX FOR SHARING.

[@danielhenderson993]

We enjoyed meeting you and getting to ride the first boat back since Covid!

[@brianumphreyville2204]

I say route like Groot

[@SuperEnthused]

I think that’s the main way - boot, loot, Groot!

[@monicahaller3330]

Love all your videos, Jackie. Wasn’t able to make it to Disney this year, was there last December though. I miss Disney, and I don’t have my next trip planned. But I love all the updates and everything you share. Wilderness Lodge is my favorite resort. Every time I ride one of the boats, I always sit in the back. I think my favorite transportation right now is the Skyliner. Boats are next. The buses are definitely last though. 😂

[@jrchiles18]

Loved the video. To answer your question, I was able to visit discovery island back in my early 20's on a family trip. It was a good experience and I do wish they would open it back up, especially the walking trail.

[@arlenemadden8707]

Oh, I just heard you said after3pm. I that’s great. I read the opposite on DisBoards! 👍🏻
