While having drinks on the outer deck of the "Boathouse" on Lake Buena Vista at Disney Springs - Orlando FL - this cool looking car/boat (Amphicar) goes floating.

No, you are truly seeing this. The worlds only land and water car. These boats from days gone by are piloted by their very own Captain. Climb aboard for a one of a kind 20-minute tour of the Disney Springs landmarks.

Do you want to go for a ride? The cost as of June 2015 is $125 per car.

Thought this would be a good one for Wacky Wednesday.

Comments welcome and taking the time out to view.

Sunny Day To You, ♥ Skates

The color seems wackier than the amphicar :P

It looks like the car is leaving a wake of sewage.

Never have seen a maritime 'colleague' sailing such a strange seaworthy(?) 'vessel' before, Pat, ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ !
I hope he has life jackets in his trunk.
Excellent one for Wacky Wednesday. Thanks for the smile!

PS: I've check-out your link and saw in the video that there's another (white) one, even equipped with navigational lights, ☺ .

A treasure for sure. I'm glad to see other cars can float, not just VW Beetles.

$125 for a ride? That better come with dinner, a show, a port-side cabin, and dancing on the promenade deck. I do remember these, Pat; a good shot for Wednesday. At least the Cap'n posed for you without asking for payment.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

We were just there a few months ago and saw this. I personally wouldn't do it, just because I do not see the fun in it. But to each their own. The balloon ride looks somewhat enjoyable, I might do that the next time we are there.
