1. If you join someone's Illuminations or Wishes cruise, how is the payment usually handled?

2. Also, is there enough room on the boats that if you have ten people, everyone has a front row seat, or are you in rows with some in the back?

3. If there are ten people is it tight on board?

4. I can't picture the size of the boat and have no idea whether it's a good idea to share to save money, or if I would regret it because my view is blocked.

5. If you share, can you order food just for your own group, or does it have to be ordered for everyone on board?

1. This is strictly between the groups sharing the boat. One party has to reserve the boat and supply a CC Number to hold the boat. If the group is a No Show, this CC will be charged. But at the Marina, the cruise is rung up and charged. Just about the only thing the cashier can do is split the cost between two CC's or maybe a room card. But usually, cash changes hands and the responsible party pays for the cruise.

2 & 3. 10 people can usually fit comfortably. That being said, its difficult to say this without seeing the entire party. You would have to agree that there are a lot of shapes and sizes, some small, some larger. Would 10 large people fit comfortably? Probably not. Would 10 petite people fit, with room to spare.
OK, that being said, everybody has a seat, once the boat is parked, everybody can move up to the front area of the boat and do the best they can to all have prime seating. There would be no good reason to remain in the back seating area during IllumiNations, unless you choose to.

4. If you PM me your e-mail address, I can forward you photos of the pontoon boats currently in use at Bayside Marina.

5. Food is ordered directly with the Yacht Club Private dining. It is charged directly to you. You can order 2 sandwiches and 3 beers if you so desire. Or whatever right up to pizza, hot wings, cheese & crackers, whatever. But, how would you feel in 2 people were eating on the boat with 8 others watching?

I hope this info helps.

Tomorrow my window opens to book for Aug 27th. (fingers and toes crossed here). It's my DH's B'Day (shhh it's a suprise.
My question here is.....Is there anyone else out there hoping for the same date that would want to share a cruise? I was thinking it would be better to pool together and hope atleast one of us would get a ressi. There are only 3 of us....So, I would be more than happy to share with you.

IMALOVDISNEY or anyone. I was planning to try to book a cruise later this week and I thought I understood the process but now I am confused again. I thought that booking process for a cruise was exactly 90 days from the date you want to book (from the first post on this thread). However, IMALOVDISNEY posted on 5/22 that they were able to book a cruise on 8/27. If it is supposed to be exactly 90 days, then I would not think one could book until 5/29. Is there a +10 rule for cruises similar to ADRs? I am not intending to give anyone a hard time. I just want to understand how this works. I have not read through all the posts so please excuse me if there is something posted in this thread that explains updates to the 90 day policy in the first post.

I wa like you and thought it wa at exactly 90 days - well that's what everything I read said. I tried on the off-chance and I managed to get a Wihes cruise in the 90+10 window

So seems if you're staying onsite then 90+10 is the way to go!!
