DH and I enjoyed a wonderful night on the Breathless last Sept.(right before the $$ increase). I had booked it because our FL friends who live and work on old boats were supposed to be with us and I wanted to share our favorite DVC area with them and enjoy Illuminations without entering the park - they couldn't make it, so DH and I went alone and found it very romantic. We left from the YC marina and our wonderful captain toured us all around the lagoon - we caught the finale for Fantasmic from the water - then back to Epcot where we moored just in front of the bridge with a fabulous view of Illuminations. He gave us lots of background info on the area and on Illum itself (which we have seen many, many times). The only down side was all of the fine black ash that fell all over us - unfortunately I had worn a white shirt - not a good idea! After the show he drove us back up the lagoon to MGM - since all of the boats were long gone at that time of year, he really opened up the boat and we went flying !! Perfect night - a fun experience we'll never forget - not something we can afford to do often - but a wonderful treat and we're so glad we did it! Do a search for pics - I know CrazyHakim has some great ones posted.

Bjakmom, we really want to do this in June -- any tips for getting the reservation? I've already figured out what day I have to call, and I've read the "tips" thread about calling a few minutes before 7, which buttons to push, etc. Did you get the reservation on your first try? Thanks for any insight ~
