Bummer, sorry to hear there were so many breakages . Hope you have a successful rope drop today and it's more like your first two days!

Back at DHS today. BG 72 for Rise. Hoping it’s better too!

Missed this yesterday but Fireworks Cruises are back. Information can be found here as far as booking them:

Specialty Cruises

The dessert based Cruises, and the Pirates Adventure Cruises are still unavailable at this time.

Just got off the phone with Disney, they are booking but only through the end of July currently. She expects them to open up beyond that in the next few weeks once the fireworks times are released. She also mentioned that it can only be booked at 60 days out, apparently she had multiple calls this morning trying to book them for November and December.

She was actually at WDW for an extended trip and then just got back a few days ago but said she was very busy so she wouldn't be able to post much for the next few weeks.

Thanks for the update!

So how about that Disneyland xmas news? We barely got anything so far! I appreciate seeing Animal shop but like tell me moreeeee.

Disneyland holiday news is always quite a bit later than WDW.

We did an Illumination Cruise a few years ago, but never have done one for the MK fireworks. It's tempting, but so much of HEA is the projections that I'm not sure it's really worth it.

We did a cheap (free) version of a fireworks cruise last week. Took the boat from Wilderness Lodge to MK right before fireworks started. Switched to the Poly boat at MK and watched the remainder of the fireworks from the Poly boat. Got ice cream (incentive for the kids) and headed back.

We did the MK cruise years ago when it was still Wishes, and it was amazing, but you're right, with HEA you'd miss so much without seeing the projections. How was the Illuminations Cruise? We're trying to get the Epcot Forever cruise in September, although I wish it were still Illuminations!

Wish it had been open during our trip last week. Not sure the gray asphalt is an improvement over the bricks.

We loved it! They cruise around the lagoon for a bit, then park the boat just near the bridge for the show. Our captain flew across the lagoon afterwards and dropped us off at HS so we could catch Fantasmic afterwards. It was my girls birthday and he got people watching from the walkway to sing Happy Birthday to them. lol It was fun and I'd do it again. I'm with you though, I miss Illuminations, but hopeful the new show will be amazing. I'm not sure I'd pay that price for EE- we were very unimpressed when we saw it. To be fair, it was opening night and lots of glitches- couldn't hear the music, kites dropping into the water- it was really bad. lol

I'm seeing on one of the sites not allowed here that the EPCOT monorail will be opening "soon". Sure hope that's true. If I see that rumor from another source, I'll try to post it here.

Yes.. the webpage doesn’t mention booking window… 60 days should be as well
