But, families with children in tow visiting the World Showcase at EPCOT find the place a drag.

At certain times they don't run with a ton of frequency (only one boat per route instead of 2 or 3), but they do fill a transportation need. It would be nice if they could find a way to make the queues move faster and have more stops (though those ideas seem counterintuitive)

In fact, if you wanted to take the Friendship boats from say Germany to Morocco, you would first have to take one Friendship boat from Germany to the World Showcase Plaza. Then another Friendship boat from the World Showcase Plaza to Morocco. Also, the Friendship boats don't run all the time. If Walt Disney was involved in the execution of the park now known as EPCOT, there would be a viable transportation system around the World Showcase. I can't imagine Walt Disney ever building a park without some form of viable transportation around it.
