Hi there

Anyone looking to share an Illuminations Cruise during <b>April</b>? If you have reserved an Illuminations Cruise and are willing to share, please post your date here. Perhaps we can coordinate this and help each other out.

When you post your reply, use the subject box to tell whether you need space (and how many you need) on a cruise or if you have space available and include the dates. I think that might make it a little easier to coordinate a match.

Even with the new changes, you can still get an Illuminations Cruise

There have been some changes made in the Illuminations Cruises. First, they are no longer called Illuminations Cruises, all of the fireworks cruises at WDW are known as "Specialty Cruises" because they cannot guarantee that you will see Illuminations.

There are also daytime "Specialty" cruises. They are booked at two hour intervals beginning at 12 noon. In order to have a chance to see Illuminations, you will need to call 407-WDW-PLAY 90 days in advance and request the 8:00 PM cruise, telling them that you hope to see Illuminations (or the Magic Kingdom fireworks). They will then schedule your cruise for 1/2 hour prior to the beginning of Illuminations.

Why can't they guarantee that you will see Illuminations? These cruises last 45 minutes, only. If, for some reason, Illuminations is delayed, your boat will still return to the marina when 45 minutes have passed, whether or not Illuminations has finished.

So, who has a cruise to share in April?

Hi there, :wave:

We are looking to share a cruise :boat: at any time between April 1st and April 16th. We have two adults and two sons, aged 10 and 8.

Many thanks

Sam

Update: We've managed to link up through this site for a cruise on April 4th. :jumping1:

Thanks Jason and family for letting us join you. :goodvibes
 
DH and I are looking to share a Magical Wishes Fireworks (not Illuminations) voyage the week of 4/10 - 4/15. This is the cruise that you can book if you register as a Grand Gathering. PM me if interested or for more information.

Thanks,
Nancy :earsgirl:

Thanks Sam and look forward to our trip!! (And dont forget that if needed I will NOT let the boat return for any reason!!!!!! :earboy2: )

I just cancelled one this morning (Wishes cruise) and rebooked for the Illuminations cruise - I cancelled for April 14th - just incase any wanted that day and told it was sold out - I had the whole boat - there are ten in our party... good luck
 
We haven't booked a cruise yet, but l just looking to see if there are any interested parties out there or anyone looking for more passengers. There is just 2 of us!! Thanks!

Booked and filled a cruise for April 4th. Thanks anyway!!
 
There are 4 of us - Me, DH, DS12 and DS10. Ideally, we're hoping for April 20th or 21st for an Illuminations cruise. I'll be trying for it this week, and will let you guys know if I get a ressie and have room to share. If not, and one of you get a ressie, We'd love to join you!! I'll update after I make my calls this week!

Thanks!!

I sent you a PM............. :jumping4:

Sent one back to you.....

I got through at 7:02 and all the boats were gone already....
 
Hi. I am taking my two for a 5 night trip and this would be a HUGE treat if someone has space to spare for three little-bity-girls like us :wizard:
 
Woo Hoo!

I missed the "boat" :laughing: for illuminations this morning, but I did book a wishes boat for April 19 from Grand Floridian marina.

There are only 6 of us (four adults and two 4 year olds) and it's for my DD(4)'s birthday!!!

We got the birthday package too (how fun!).

We have room for 6 more if you don't mind the boat being all decked out for her and us all singing as we tulle down the lake... :earboy2:

PM me if you're interested !!!

How's this for irony--
Got through first on Mon, and realized I had calculated wrong-- I am now 0 for 3 for the rest of the week-- anyone have room for a family of four on Wed or Thurs, April 20 or 21? It's Me, DH, DD10, and DS 8? Please PM or email at lhsmoylan@hotmail.com. Thanks!
 
I may have 3-5 seats available for a Wishes Cruise on April 4th. Pm if interested!!

Hi Mario!
Thanks again!!!!:cool1:
 
Hi All,

I can't believe it, but I completely missed the 90-day window for my entire trip. The good news is that I have less than 90 days left to WDW. The bad news is, I missed all of the major ressies, including an illuminations cruise.

Anyone have room for 4-6 people anytime from April 17-22?

TIA!
