Yes! :D :D/

Hopefully they'll be operating in September, which seems to be the most likely time I'll visit now :lol:

Its great to hear they returned just in time! I'll check them out tomorrow.  8)

By the way; can someone please tell me the storyline behind the Keelboats? It has something to do with smugglers right?

Didier Ghez's bible reveals:

Quote from: "From Sketch to Reality"Our adventurous spirit leads us to board one of the two River Rogue Keelboats - named Raccoon and Coyote - the smuggler's boats inspired by the 1955 film Davy Crocket and the River Pirates.  The boats departs from Smuggler's Cove, a hideout for river pirates.  The voyage is relatively peaceful and we even have time to wave Old Joe, who is fishing not far from the picturesque surroundings of Wilderness Island.

Thanks for your response! I would never have thought that there was a storyline and such a strong link to the Davy Crocket films. It proves once again that Frontierland is a true gem of Imagineering.

When i was there we were on the Molly Brown outside the phantom Mannor and the Kealboat went straight past, what a sight. I just wish i was standing at Phantom Mannor to get that picture.

Does anyone know if the keelboats are open all year round or are they just at peak times ?

I'd love to try them in January. We've never had the chance before.
