Illuminations and Happily Ever After Cruises - Find One To Share

[shoedude1971]

Hi all!
Wifey (33) and I (40) will be in WDW from 12/10-12/18 this year and I wanted to surprise her with a Wishes Cruise on Tuesday, 12/13/11. Recent DVC owners, been to WDW numerous times, but never during Christmas time.....can't wait! Although the cruise can be pricey on your own, the experience can be had, cheaper - if shared with others.

WHAT: Wishes Fireworks Cruise (pontoon boat)
WHERE: from/to the Polynesian Resort
WHEN: 8:30PM - plan to arrive 15-30 min early
BONUS: This cruise will take place during the Christmas Party spectacular - which includes perimeter fireworks which should only add to the magic!

DETAILS:
The Premium trip seats up to 10 comfortably

Total cost of 1-1.5 hour trip: $346.13

Total cost per person: $34.61 per person

Soda/water/chips/snacks are included in that price

Blankets available

*It is customary to tip the captain of the boat - this can be arranged in advance to avoid confusion that night.

HOW:
I'm going to base this offer on the honor system, especially since we'll be at Disney/happiest place on Earth/etc, etc....
I've reserved the cruise already using my credit card, I am just waiting to fill the 8 other vacancies on board. If you are interested - please reply and we'll discuss it privately. I am not a frequent poster here, so someone let me know if I am crossing any boundaries here....don't want to step on any toes!

Payment, as it is with the cruise itself, is due at the time of the cruise....hence the 15-30 minute early arrival so I/we can settle up....

I am sure I am missing something here - I have not coordinated something like this (for strangers) previously - please let me know of any questions you may have or details I may have missed - thanks to all - hopefully see you on 12/13!!!

Hi Diane!

That's perfect!

Being a newbie on DISboards, they would not let me reply to your PM until I've replied to/created more posts....so I will just reply here....

Just an FYI.....
Yesterday, I enlisted a mom (58)/daughter (22) combo as well from the baords over at WDWMagic....so we're up to 6 so far!

I hope you do not mind a full boat - like I mentioned in my post - I'll eat the cost of missing passengers, but I'd much rather have a full boat!

Everything I mentioned in my post still stands, payment at the time of the cruise is acceptable, please try to be on the Polynesian boat dock at 8p/815p.....Regarding the tip - I'm offering $40.00 as the total amount including tip.....let me know if this is an issue or if you have any other idea - this rounds up the $34.61 split....and as far as I've seen....a $5.39 tip per person is a little high, but not by much.....and $40 just seems to work out more easily for payment purposes.

Disney gives me a two day window to cancel the trip - so if you need to cancel for any reason....please give me as much notice as possible so I may find other folks or cancel altogether.....

I think that's about it...let me know if you have any questions or ideas!

See you on the 13th!

We got one!!!

Six (6) open seats left to share with those who want to enjoy the New Year's celebrations show away from the crowds.

Post or message me if you are interested!!


Confirmed:
JiminyHCricket ~ Party of 2
Bobbiwoz ~ Party of 2


*[Holiday pricing was quoted to me at $828 including taxes, excluding gratuity. So long as all parties feel a 20% tip for our Captain is fair, it breaks down to $100 per person, all inclusive.]

Wow - you are so lucky. Unfortunately we will not be in WDW this year, I just wanted to say have a great time.

Hi!

Just wondering if anyone has 2 spaces on a cruise between 5th and 17th Nov?

Preferably Wishes but Illuminations would be fine too.

It's my birthday on 13th so that would be perfect but we could make any night work, I think.

TIA! Dee xx

Do you have room on your boat to share an Illuminations Cruise with 4 very nice ladies that would be happy to pay their share of the cruise and the captain's tip?


We can only go on Sunday, November 27, 2011.

Thanks!
