<font face="comic sans ms"><font color=purple>Hi there

Anyone looking to share an Illuminations Cruise during <b>December</b>? If you have reserved an Illuminations Cruise and are willing to share, please post your date here. Perhaps we can coordinate this and help each other out.

When you post your reply, use the subject box to tell whether you <b>need</b> space (and how many you need) on a cruise or if you <b>have</b> space available and <b>include the dates</b>. I think that might make it a little easier to coordinate a match.

Even with the new changes, you can still get an Illuminations Cruise

There have been some changes made in the Illuminations Cruises. First, they are no longer called Illuminations Cruises, all of the fireworks cruises at WDW are known as "Specialty Cruises" because they cannot guarantee that you will see Illuminations.

There are also daytime "Specialty" cruises. They are booked at two hour intervals beginning at 12 noon. In order to have a chance to see Illuminations, you will need to call 407-WDW-PLAY 90 days in advance and request the 8:00 PM cruise, telling them that you hope to see Illuminations (or the Magic Kingdom fireworks). They will then schedule your cruise for 1/2 hour prior to the beginning of Illuminations.

Why can't they guarantee that you will see Illuminations? These cruises last 45 minutes, only. If, for some reason, Illuminations is delayed, your boat will still return to the marina when 45 minutes have passed, whether or not Illuminations has finished.

So, who has a cruise to share in <b>December</b>?

I would like to chime right in here and say that I was hoping to go on an Illumination cruise for our trip. Our dates our December 5 - 13. We do have tickets to MVMCP on the 7th and the 9th so those nights are out. As for the other nights I will be trying to (cross fingers) get one of the covetted reservations. However if I have been drenched in pixie dust and manage to secure a trip for ourselves, I would like to offer to share. You see it is only myself (Non-smoking female) and my very well behaved (ok, she has her moments) 3 1/2 year old daughter. The boat needs more DIS"ERS to enjoy the show!!! I will keep you posted with my early morning adventures of getting up at 4AM!!!(I live on the west coast.)

Now if the moons we not aligned right and I fail to have the fastest fingers in the west, I am now also asking if there is anyone who feels the need to spread some of their Disney Magic and believes we could enrichen their evening by having us along, we would be soooo greatfull!!! Please email or pm me. bubbaconn@aol.com

No luck for Dec 5th or 6th so far...anyone else?:sad2:
Didn't try for the 7th. (going to MVMCP)
Thanks to the "system down" today I failed for the 8th.
Didn't try for the 9th. (going to MVMCP)
I wish, but nothing for the 10th, 11th or 12th. :sad:
Going home on the 13th.

Thank You!

Anyone get lucky for Dec 1?

I was too late :(

But we would still love to go on the cruise this day, so if anyone was able to book and has room for 6 adults (no kids), please let me know. Either send me a PM or an e-mail sol_lisa@hotmail.com

Thanks!
 
We are 2 adults that would like to be included and pay our share from the 11th to the 16th of December...


From the 4th till the 9th we have a 3rd DISer with us but I have not yet asked if she would be interested..

We had one booked with some DISers last year who asked us to tag along but it fell through so I would like to do it as a surprise for my DH.:wave2:
 

I am hoping to squeeze into someone else's Illuminations Cruise because
I will be solo.

Monday 12/06 or

Wednesday 12/08

would be great !
 
My husband, 16 month old son, and I would love to share a cruise with someone. We are available on December 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, or 18. Please pm me with any details.
 
Looking to share a cruise sometime between Dec. 18 & 26.
 
My husband & I would love to join in sharing a cruise if anyone has two extra seats. We'll be trying to book as well and if we get lucky will be wanting company to share with too.

Our dates are: December 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 17th & 18th.

PM me

thanks
 
We'll be a party of four, two adults, DS 11 and DD 9, and could share a cruise Dec. 18, 19, 21, or 22.

:wizard: Here's hoping for pixie dust for all our calls!
 
But after reading the instructions on what time to ask for this cruise, should we request 8:30p because I read that IllumiNations will be at 9:30p because of CP during December?

Does this sound right?

I would love to go with someone Dec10-13th, one person. I will also be calling. Has anyone figured out the date I should call?
Any information would be great.

Thanks.

Susan

You just ask for the illuminations cruise...NYE was the only time i've ever know them to hold more then one.....and yes Illuminatons is later during these days..

If you want the 10th start calling Sept 11....but like it was posted earlier you will be competting with the mousefest people for your dates so it will be extremely difficult...Good Luck though...
 
Anyone willing to share illuminations cruise with one adult and one child, 8 years old, Dec 5th? Please pm me.

Thanks, Mary:wave2:
 
Anyone have any luck getting through this week???Going to Mousefest too, but would like a cruise also! (spoiled!)
Anytime...Dec. 4th through the 10th....
 
I just tried calling again to book a cruise, but today I got a "Due to system enhancement our office is unable to take your call, please call back later" message.

Given that if you don't call within a microsecond of the phone being opened you won't get a cruise, I guess thats another day out.

That only leaves me one more chance in the cruise lottery:(

If anyone has room to share, Dec 4,5,6,8 or 9 please PM me. We will be a group of 4 adults and 2 children and will pay our share and throw in a bottle of champagne!:drinking1
