Grand Floridian Yacht

[starrock77]

Does anyone know what the pricing and\or options are available for the Grand One yacht at the GF?

The Grand 1 is approximately $400 per hour which included the Captain and one crew member. Tip was extra.

We took it for a Wishes cruise which included a tour around the lake, a great view of the fireworks, and then a look at the Water Pagent. We were picked up and dropped off at the Poly, but I would guess you could arrange for any of the resorts on the lake.

You can arrange for food and drink through GF Private Dinning. We had champagne and a dessert tray which was served on the bridge. I know you can have a full meal, with a butler, if you want. All of this is very expensive, but for a special occasion it was definately worth it.

Any specific questions? I would be glad to answer if I can.

How long did you go out for? Also did the champagne and a dessert tray come with the price or was that extra also?

 

[Sammie]

Any food is extra and while you can certainly stay longer, most stay one hour since it is $400 for each hour.

Do they play the wishes music onboard?

 

[weissjaz]

Yes, they had the music. We were out for about 1.5 hours even though they just charged us for one hour. That was so we could see the Water Pagent after the fireworks. And dessert and champage were extra. Probably the most expensive champagne I have ever had. We had 2 bottles for 8 people and 2 trays of petit fours. It was certainly more of a snack than a filling after-meal treat.

What time of year did you go? I thought the fireworks were usually after the water pageant. I've been considering this for next July and that's what I was wondering......whether it would take an additional hour if you wanted to see the EWP. Did you request the petit fours specifically or was that their suggestion for dessert?

 

[weissjaz]

We were there the first week of May and fireworks were at 9:00. I know they moved to 10:00 the next week. And they suggested the dessert, but I was looking for variety. I am sure you could get a cake or single dessert if you want.
