Hi there

Anyone looking to share an Illuminations Cruise during JANUARY? 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 need space (and how many you need) on a cruise or if you have space available and include the dates. 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 January?

Woohoo!!!

We still have 5 seats available. I was fortunate enough to book an Illuminations Cruise for Saturday, January 21. We have room for 5 more people on the boat. We are going as 3 adults and 2 kids (dd 2 yo and dd 10 mos.) The cost would be $25 each which includes snacks and drinks. PM me if interested.
 
Just subscribing. We will be there 01/05-01/11 if anyone has open seats for 2!! :wave2:
 
:wizard: I am interested. If you still have room let me know. I was planning on going to a 6 pm mass but can always go in the morning. I have 3 adults and a five year old. I would split the cost with you.
 

Well, My boat is now full! Yeah! Is anyone else going in January?
 
We have room for eight on January 2nd. Please let me know if you are interested!!

Can you tell me any info. about the cruise (what it involves, costs etc)?
We will be in Disney Dec 31- Jan 8 (4 people total, me, my mom, DD8 and DS5) and might be interested. This might be something that would be really special for us , especially my mom. She is joining us for the holiday at Disney. Right now she is having a bit of a rough go (caring for my terminally ill dad). I want to do as much as I can to make this holiday as special as I can for her.
Thanks

I also pmed you this message but thought I would reply on this thread in case you weren't able to check your pms.
 
RIU girl-I sent you a PM. I really hope that you, your mother, and children can join us. It would be something very memorable for your mother and it would be nice to be able to share that with her.

I looked at our budget today and we won't be joining you on the cruise Jan 2. This is a budget type trip and unfortunatley, we won't be able to do this activity.
Good luck finding some disers to fill your boat. It looks like such a fun thing to do. I'm sure you will have no difficulty filling your boat!!!!

Have a wonderful vacation.

Hi DISers-

At my Dmom and Ddad's right now. Dmom just told me that they decided to join us for DD's 8th brithday weekend at WDW--January 13-18. :cheer2:

Well, Dparents are just back from WDW yesterday. They went to see CP and the decorations. Ddad, who goes along with anything, but gets excited about nothing, saw an Illuminations cruise boat and says to Dmom, "Look at that! Can we do that for Dgranddaughter's birthday?" So, Dmom says, "Sure, I'll have Ddaughter (that's me!) book it!" So, she asks me to take care of this, as it is DD's birthday and Ddad is so excited. Sure, Mom, no problem, let me just call Mickey to get this booked! :rotfl:

Anyway, there are five of us. We're fun, friendly, happy to pay our share and just all around great--and celebrating a birthday. If anyone's got an Illuminations or Wishes cruise to share any evening from 1/13 through 1/17, please PM me. Crossing my fingers! Thanks!

UPDATE - Booked a Wishes Cruise for 1/13, which is DD's bday. Can't believe it!!! Everyone is thrilled. Even splurging for the birthday boat. Just to let people looking for cruises know that as of yesterday afternoon, Wishes cruises are available on 1/16 and 1/17!
 
Hello!

I'm going on my first solo trip and looking for a spot on an illuminations cruise any time between Jan 28 - Feb 2.

Please email or PM me if you have a spot.

Thanks! :sunny:
 
Thanks to everybody that responded! Our cruise is full and it looks like it is going to be a good time! :banana:

I know this is late in the game, but I have just joined the site and was wondering if I could latch on to someone's reservation. I need to add three (me, my wife, and my mom). For 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, or 1/10 of 2006. Figured this would be my best shot at securing a reservation. Email me if you have got a spot.
Thanks
