Illuminations and Happily Ever After Cruises - Find One To Share

[readingpooh]

Looking to share an illuminations cruise March 9th or 10th 2010
Just found out that the Illuminations cruise that I booked for March 9th was not really booked at all. I was given the total cost, time and place to get on the boat, details about food etc., but I was not given a confirmation number. The cruise was never booked,they have no record of my reservation. I made this reservation back in October 2009 and starting calling at 7 am in the morning. At that time there was availability on Tues, Wed & Thurs. I am in such disbelief that this has happened. Needless to say my family is so disappointed. This is our first trip to Disney. Hoping to find someone who has an Illuminations Cruise booked for March 9 or 10, 2010 who would be willing to share with us. We are a family of 5, 2 adults 3 children ages 11, 9 and 5 we can split the cost. We could also do it on Friday March 12th 2010. Would be so grateful is someone could fit us in somewhere, somehow. Thank you.

This is my first message here on the boards. I'm a newbie! But, I've been to Disney many times and have pictures dating back to 1975. This year we will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, and as we cannot afford the wedding ceremonies for a renewal, I thought a fireworks cruise would be a nice addition to celebrate our July anniversary a bit late.

2 Adults, 2 well behaved (except when they argue with each other) girls ages 8 and 11. Looking for Illuminations cruise, so we'll have plenty of room for up to 6 guests to share all equally. I will be happy to make the reservation and split with you at the dock.

I just got a call from WDW informing me that the Breathless II had a mishap and could be out of service for the foreseeable future! Our cruise was booked for 4/30 and they were going to offer us a Wishes cruise instead.

Unfortunately, we have ADR's at the boardwalk for the night of the cruise + it was EMH evening hours at Epcot that day, so heading over to MK just didn't work for us.

I wanted to know if anybody else has received a call?

Sorry to hear about that. If they are able to offer an available boat for Wishes, why couldn't they just use that boat to still allow you to view Illuminations instead? Seems odd that they wouldn't just be able to substitute a boat for you.

I don't know, except we weren't even going to be on a pontoon boat to begin with. I'm hoping that Breathless II will be back in the water sooner rather than later. While I'm disappointed, since we've never done the fireworks cruise, at least we won't know what we're missing.

And, the trip is a complete surprise for DS11, so since he knew nothing of the cruise he won't be too disappointed.

I just got a call too. We were booked for March! If they are cancelling them for April too, what the heck happened to it???

There is about 3 1/2 miles of road between Seven Seas Lagoon (Wishes) and World Showcase (IllumiNations) and the waterways are not tied together.

Just spoke with them, Breathless II out until AT LEAST May.

Something must have happened.

Why don't you go on a pontoon instead? We've been on 5 Illuminations cruises over the past 3 years and will definitely be on one in May. I always reserve the cruise and then we share with the nicest DIS-ers - it's a great experience. My family loves watching the fireworks that way. This reminds me, I have to call and get a reservation!

Our family of four would like to join a cruise for either Wishes or Illuminations, on June 6th, 7th, or 9th. We have had two people do illuminations and they loved it, so we all want to try one this time if at all possible.

PM me if you have seats, thank you very much!

Ok everyone. I just booked through Disney Reservation the illuminations cruise for March 19th on a pontoon. During the conversation the women on the phone also said she had slots for both illuminations and wishes for 13th and the 19th of March. If you want the cruise I would suggest to call in right now for this time frame. From they way she sounded they had many openings.
