Hi ThreeHearts,
No admission is required for either cruise. These cruises launch from the Resort Marina so you don't enter the parks at all.
We had 2 FW cruises booked from Contemporary and Poly in June, but I cancelled one night and the second was rained out! We will try again next year.
This would be a great first night activity as you get to see the FW and not use your passes. The FW cruise was $125 for up to 12 people. Reserve with a CC with 24 hr. cancellation policy. You can bring alcohol but I was told it must be purchased at the Resort and you show the captain the receipt.
That's about all I know!
