Hook, Line, and Summer: Celebrate the Season with Fishing at Disney

From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: Olivia Usitalo

Summer is the perfect season to spend quality time together on the water, and there’s no better time to get outside than National Fishing & Boating Week. This national celebration runs June 4 through June 12 and highlights not only the importance of conserving our waterways and practicing safe fishing and boating, but also the fun and relaxing activities that come with it. And thanks to our friends at Take Me Fishing, you and your family can enjoy unique fishing adventures right here at Walt Disney World Resort!

So, whether you’re a family of adventurers, a group of friends looking to relax, or a solo avid angler, this one-of-a-kind experience on the picturesque lakes and lagoons surrounding our parks and resorts is sure to make a splash!
