Illuminations and Happily Ever After Cruises - Find One To Share

[tinkerbell60]

I will speak for tinkerbell! I'm not sure exactly what she said in the PM to you but she and I are sharing a cruise on the 3rd as well. We have room for 4 people and we were wondering how many you had in your party. I know you said you had room for 4 people too, but we just thought we'd ask to see if there was some way we could consolidate!

Tinkerbell -- apparently I can't get your PM because my post count is not high enough. Could you post on this board for me or send me an email. Thanks.

Dear T. Baker - I am so glad Nikki posted back to you - I was at a baseball game and just got home. Yes, that is basically what I was asking. Nikki has booked a boat that will accomodate 10 people, it has the music piped in for the fireworks - and we were wondering if you would like come with us on July 3rd, leaving from the Contemporary. Let us know!

Just wanted to update that we now have 7 people for this cruise and would only have room for one more.

shinysparklybubbles,

I notice you have a cruise booked for Nov. I'm just curious since I thought you couldn't book until 90 days out?

I'm just asking since we're hoping to book for Oct and now I'm slightly panicking that we might have missed the boat... so to speak... lol! Has the policy changed? I know dining ressies have changed quite a bit over the last couple of years.

From http://www.wdwinfo.com/recreation/fireworks.htm

Thanks for the update NikkiLovesWDW!

I read the same thing and I actually asked a question on the DIS saying something like..."I know I can't book until 90 days but...." and I got a response that I could book 180 days! I was like 176 days out and I was looking for the special 4th of July fireworks cruise (on the 3rd though). I was on the phone sooo fast when I read that! I was still able to get it though so you should definitely try or look for someone to share with. Good luck!

Me too!

Managed to get what I wanted though. Yay!

*** OUR CRUISE IS NOW FULL UP ***

So I can now offer space for 5 folks on an Illuminations cruise on Oct. 8th.

It'll be accompanying myself, the parents and their friends - so basically a group of 50ish/60ish Scottish folk, plus me.

Let me know if you're interested.

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

you can actually book it in 180 +10 time frame. I had no idea it you could do it in the + 10. I was making my ADR's and just bsing with the lady about how I needed to set my alarm again to get up and call to book it and she told me it could be done as long as it was in the +10 of check in! So I booked 181 days out! Only a day early but I was still very excited.

I guess I was very lucky. I called last week and got a cruise for the 2nd week in August. Maybe it's just not a busy cruise week?
We still have room to share on August 16 for Illuminations

 

[mrsbelle]

Just thought I would throw this out there! We will be in WDW September 16- 21 and we are a party of 4- Me, DH, DS4 and DS2. We of course would split costs! Let me know if you are there the same time and have room/want to coordinate.

Thanks!

DH and I are taking his parents and sister/husband on an Illuminations specialty cruise in December. I am going to try for December 4th. Anyone want to share a pontoon with 6 other people?

 

[Inkmahm]

I was up early this morning and I booked the Specialty cruise to see Illuminations on December 4. We meet at the Yacht club at 8:30 for 9 pm launch.

I have 6 of us booked (DH and me, my FIL, MIL, SIL and BIL)- all adults. There is room for maybe 4 more people (better of some would be kids). Please PM me if you are interested in sharing our cruise with us. Cost per person will be $320 divided by total number of people on the cruise. You can tip the boat driver on your own.

Edit: We definitely have 2 more added and I'm waiting to hear from two more if they definitely want to come or not.

All 10 spots are now filled for our cruise.
