Fireworks cruise (pontoon boat) booking beyond July yet?

[Dtw002]

I called last week and waited on hold for 1.5 hours to book, but they were only taking reservations through the end of July. Does anyone know if they are booking into August yet? Thanks!

I don’t know, please post if you find out elsewhere. I just looked at Speciality Cruises, and it doesn’t say “unavailable.”

My husband was able to book a cruise for August 22 through member service. We booked Epcot but Magic Kingdom was also available. It took an 1 1/2 on the phone but CM was very helpful. I hope this helps.

That is helpful, thank you! Did he book through dvc member services? Waited on hold yesterday for 3.5hrs for a CM to try to book but have issues and put me on hold…..only to get disconnected. It.is.crazy

He booked through member service. He also got disconnected after about an hour and had to call back. Trying to call about anything Guest Service or Member service is very frustrating these days..but it feels like that with life in general too. Good Luck!!!

To close the loop on this. Went to OKW desk and they also could not book the cruise. I guess availability is very scarce - only 7 boats total. As a result they don’t let anyone book it online.

Ultimately OKW hooked me up with the Recreation department who runs the boats and they booked it. On one from a1-800 number could do it.

I will say if you can swing the $$ ($400 minus 10% DVC discount) it is the coolest thing we’ve done at Disney. Another family came so the cost was cut in an half - less than a meal for my family. It was awesome!!!
