Guests can ‘Go Fish’ at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World is known for its beloved theme parks, world-class restaurants, and breathtaking resort hotels, but there’s a whole lot to do on the property you may not have realized, including a guided fishing excursion right outside Magic Kingdom.

Disney partners with takemefishing.org to offer guests magical fishing experiences that put them on the waters of Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon (as well as a few other locations around the resort).
Guests can board either a Sun Tracker pontoon boat (up to five guests) or a Nitro bass fishing boat (up to three guests) for a two- or four-hour excursion where an experienced guide will take guests to the best spots for catching fish at Walt Disney World. Not only will these guides do everything they can to make sure you catch a fish, but they know all about the wildlife you might see during your excursion and may even have a fun Disney story or two to share.
The guides will also have all the equipment needed, including a rod and reel, tackle, bait, and assorted Coca-Cola beverages on board. It’s also important to note these experiences are catch-and-release only, so while you won’t be taking any prize fish home, you will get to hold your catch and pose for a few photos before returning it to the water.
These excursions are perfect for everyone from the experienced angler to the guest who’s just looking to try something new. No fishing experience is needed as the guide will take time with each guest to show them how and where to cast and how to reel in a fish – and, of course, all of this is done against the backdrop of your favorite Walt Disney World parks.
Whether on the Seven Seas Lagoon with Cinderella Castle looming in the distance or the World Showcase Lagoon surrounded by the magic of Epcot, it’s sure to be a fishing experience unlike any other.
Walt Disney World’s magical experiences extend to its fishing excursions and other recreation activities. You can learn more about Walt Disney World’s fishing excursions here and other activities – like golf, horseback riding, kayak rentals, and so much more – here.
