Any input/pictures would be great! Is it worth the $160 for the four of us?
We just did this on 10/3 with our grandsons (6 & 10 years old). We all enjoyed it. The kids had a blast. We got little bandanas (red & white) but they are very small. Tied them around our wrists but I did see some people with them on their heads.
You enter a room with snacks set up....chips, cotton candy, chocolate gold coins, soda, water, coffee...and then Captain Hook and Mr. Smee come out for pictures. There are also other areas for picture taking with pirate statues and the kids are allowed to roam about and blow off steam.
There are two boats that launch. We got the Hook boat with Pirate Patch. He was a hoot and made the journey so much fun with trivia questions and jokes/songs. We pulled up to an area on the lake, stopped and WHAM - the Electrical Water pageant lit up and they timed it to piped in music. Nice touch. Then off to view Wishes from a great spot.
Back at the marina, Peter Pan was waiting and did a meet and greet.
The kids are still talking about this experience.
Our reservation was for 7:35 pm (Wishes was at 9pm) and we were done with everything by about 9:50 since we got in line for Peter Pan pretty quickly.They have CM's strolling around who would probably help.
We were probably on the boat for 1 hour and 15 minutes. And they stressed several times before launching that there are NO bathrooms on the boat!
The boats are flat, covered things that seat about 60? people. Your group has a reserved row. People have expressed concern about a covered boat obstructing the fireworks viewing but it was not an issue.
for our DS's 7th b-day. I was thinking this might be something special to do. We booked Chef Mickey's @ 5 p.m. to make the 6:45 meeting time. I was wondering if it is worth the 180.00 or not. I can't seem to find any reviews on it. Any help/pictures/input would be greatly appreciated! We also have another DS who is 4.We were probably on the boat for 1 hour and 15 minutes. And they stressed several times before launching that there are NO bathrooms on the boat!

We are leaving on the Wonder the next morning so I thought this would be a great way to celebrate my son's birthday and use it as a kick off to our cruise!
Is there anything else you would suggest us doing? The boys are doing the pirate lunch cruise the day before at the BC.
Has anyone done this recently? We are leeaving in 3 weeks
Now I wish I had not found this thread. This is yet another treat I want to add to the list for my nephews. If I keep this up I'm going to have to find a 2nd job just for all their treats.
I feel so much better about this. I want this night to be so special as we are celebrating our oldest's b-day and he's a little bummed about not being home:
I have been many pro/cons of the dessert party that I booked, but haven't seen any feedback on this trip.
. I also thought this would let us see the fireworks from a different view. We live near the water and like to watch the 4th of July Fireworks on the water. I thought this would combine the best of both Worlds!
