Fireworks Cruise and Wishes Minimum

[PinkSleepingBeauty]

Hey, does anyone know if a fireworks cruise on the night of your wedding would count towards the Wishes minimum? And also will DFTW book it for you or do you have to do it yourself? Thanks!!

We had to book it ourselves and we had to pay for it seperately. It was not on our BEO so it didnt' count towards our minimum.

Yup. I specifically asked my consultant about this last week and was told it doesn't count.

Thanks for your replies. That's what I was afraid the answer would be... oh well nevermind, if that's the way it is then so be it. For those of you who have booked a fireworks cruise, is it fairly straight forward or did you have many problems/issues? Thanks xx

You have to call. I think the number is 407-WDW-PLAY but I am not totally sure. If you want the Grand 1 make sure you call exactly 180 days in advance to book it. If you want floral or food brought on board the reservations agent can give you the proper numbers to call. If you just want a pontoon boat I don't think you need to give them as much notice as there are 8 of them... but I would still call 180 days out if you know the date you want.

The only problems we had were not being able to get the grand 1. We were told we had it, then we were told that we didn't and it was a mess. I have heard other people have had issues getting in touch with private dining but it always seems to work out in the end.
