Empress Lily

The Empress Lily was named after Walt Disney's wife and was an authentic re-creation of a 19th-century paddle-wheeler decorated in Louis XV style. It opened on May 1, 1977. It had several different dining options. There was also a character breakfast in the morning. It was one of the few character breakfasts during the park's early years and kids that attended would receive a certificate or a pennant. The boat closed on April 22, 1995 and reopened as Fulton's Crab House on March 10, 1996. One notable change is that the paddle wheel was removed from the boat once it became Fulton's.

(Thanks to Debi Q for this Character Breakfast ticket from 1990. Check out the price!)
