<font face="comic sans ms"><font color=purple>Hi there
Anyone looking to share an Illuminations Cruise during <b>September</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>September</b>?

It leaves from the Yacht & Beach Club.
Myself, 
DS(11) and 
DS(4) will be at the Wonderful World Sept. 14-21. It will be our 2nd family trip (our first with our youngest). Since we'll be down there for 8 whole nights I thought it would be great to see Illuminations from the water. It's also a nice way to meet new people. If anyone has extra room or wants to divide up the cost of a specialty, just give me a shout. Thanks!
