We definitely qualify as a grand gathering. There are 12 of us going in December. So far, I have planned to do the Wishes cruise, but am wondering if it is worth the $$ for the Epcot Illuminations Dinner and VIP dessert reception. Has anyone done this? Was it grand? Or is it just as well to stake out a place to watch the show. (We are not too interested about cuisine--more the entertainment part)
If you have done a grand gathering experience, (fireworks cruise, safari dinner, character breakfast or epcot illuminations) could you give me your honest opinion?
This is my first time planning a trip to the world, and making it magical for 12 people is getting to be pretty hard.
