Grand Gatherins Magical Fireworks voyage??

[tinkerbell1967]

Has anyone done this? Was it worth the price? It says it is on a seasonal basis, does anyone know if you could do it in March, the beginning of March to be exact. Any comments appreciated, thanks!!

We did it last Oct and we are doing it again this Oct. We loved it. You start with a desset reception with Capt Hook and Mr Smee then they take you to the boats. Capt Hook and Mr Smee go to the dock with you but they dont go out on the boat. We saw the EWP and then got a spot in front of the MK to watch Wishes. you can hear the music, its piped into the boat. Once Wishes is over you go back to the dock and Peter Pan is waiting for you. He stays while everyone gets pictures with him.

We had a great time and are really looking forward to our next one.

So do you think a 10 and 12 year old would enjoy it? I think I would love being on the boat and seeing the EWP and then the fireworks. Do you have to pay for it in advance, I know something I read said you can book 180 days out.

We're doing this for the first time in September. Yes, you pay in advance. Has to be paid for 45 days prior. From what I've read on the boards, most people say it was the highlight of their trip. The "pirate" on board plays trivia and tells corny jokes. I'm really looking forward to it!

So do I pay for it when I book I guess is what I'm asking or you are saying 45 days before? Just want to make sure. I want to do this and pay for it as a treat for the 8 of us going so I want to make sure I have the money when needed! They are not going to know about it until that night!

I believe youput down the deposit when you book, and pay at 45 days out. We did this last year and had a great time!

Any idea what the down payment is? Sorry for so many questions!

You can book GG events at 90 days out and its paid in full when you book it. Both time we have booked it this is how it worked.

Thanks so much! I just called Disney and the CM I talked to said I can book 180 days out, there is not deposit but it has to be paid 45 days before your trip or it is cancelled. She also said and this did not make sense to me if you have the dining plan you don't have to pay it before you arrive??? Wasn't sure about that but will call when my 180 days are here and see what type of response I get!!!

Now I dont know this to be a fact so you ask but I heard somewhere that you could use your DP credits for these events. Its worth checking into if you are going to have the DP.

Our Oct MFV was booked a month or two back for Oct and they asked for payment at the time so I paid
