Breathless Boat RIDE

[whitfields]

Hi

Is This Running Still? If Not Anyone Know When It Will Be Back Operational?

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's been retired as it's too expensive to renovate. we had a trip on it a few years ago and it was brilliant - such a shame.

 

[wilma-bride]

Yes, unfortunately Jets Fan is right - the Breathless has been retired

Breathless was the name of a boat you could rent for an Illuninations Cruise.

No Way, we LOVED this boat ride, it was a great way to see the illuminations last january We were looking forward to booking a suprise for my mum in september guess it's back to the drawing board

You can still get an Illuminations cruise, you just can't get the Breathless, which was one of the boats they used for Birthday and special occasion cruises.

thanks for the info

is there a shortcut or does anyone know the routine on how to book?..which keys to press etc as i know its hard to book?

I'm doing my homework on this one! I've just read on Passporter ring 407 939 7529 at opening time 7am (should be 12 noon here) and press 5 immediately. If you get in a queue hang on, quicker than dialling again. Not sure if the pressing 5 immediately will work, I tried recommended shortcutting through all the options when booking my ADR's but my phone didn't like it and kept saying 'oh dear, that's not quite right, lets try again' as though I was a 5 year old! Let us know how you get on, it will be 17th July before I can try.

 

[whitfields]

we will lizzie as we hope to try on the 23 june 07

i know there is a thread here somewhere telling u what to do and say when u get through.....any help please all ?

simon v can you help?

 

[Minniespal]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you both that you are successful

If you are unsuccessful - there is usually a thread on the Theme Parks board with fellow Disers looking for people to share Illuminations Cruises with. We did this in the past and had a wonderful time

This is the thread here. I followed the instructions (including starting to phone 5 mins early) and was successful!

Good luck to both you and Wendy and if you aren't lucky then post your details up on the thread Florence mentioned (there are links to it on the main thread) and you may be able to share with someone else.

I have already subscribed to the thread mentioned about sharing a cruise and we have teamed up with a family from Bath and a family from Idaho, so we have a full boat, just got to get one!!! Unfortunately its up to me to book it.

 

[Minniespal]

I'm sure you will be successful Wendy

In case anyone is interested, I got this info from the Allears newsletter this morning:

The Breathless is back at the Yacht Club marina. Cast members there say the new boat, dubbed Breathless II, is a Hacker Craft, and will be back running again for fireworks and other specialty cruises as soon as drivers are trained on handling it.
