Looking for additional information regarding the Birthday cruises at Disney World. I already have the prices, what I would like are personal experiences and opinions from those who have already done them. For example:
1) Did you do "wishes" or "illuminations"
2) Where did you meet for your cruise
3) What extra dining did you include
4) What did you do/see during your cruise
5) Besides the boat cruise, was it any different seeing the fireworks from your boat then if you had just sat in the park and watched them

Well, I hope you can help me decide :confused3

Thanks so much.. :grouphug:
 
My family did this in Dec. We left from YC and saw illuminations. At first I was not happy because only thing different was a couple ballons and a banner that said Happy Birthday. Seems like not much for the price increase. It was neat though because people on the bridge would yell down "Happy Birthday". Kinda cool. We did not add any more food becuase I paid for the whole thing and it already cost a lot. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions.
 
Thanks so much... I really appreciate all the information. :blush:
 
I got DBf a Wishes Birthday Cruise in March 2005. It was *AMAZING*!!!! We met at the Contemporary Resort Marina. The boat was decorated with balloons and streamers. It also had 2 huge banners that said "Happy Birthday". Also included was a cooler full of soda & water, a huge cake, and plates & plastic utensils. The driver first drove us to watch the electric water parade and then picked a perfect spot for us to watch Wishes from! It was truly a magical experience! Some advice: Bring a jacket! It gets very chilly out there on the water after the sun goes down!!! Here are some pictures:

This was the fantastic cake!!
