I'm out of the loop on this one.
How do I go about getting one? What's the cost? Is it timing and luck of the draw?
What's the ins and outs and what do I need to know?
It won't be until January for us -- so I have a little prep and planning time on this one.
TIA!

It's a lot like getting a ressie for CRT. You have to call exactly 90 days out and at 7am eastern time. There are two options: Breathless, which I believe seats 2-4 people(don't quote me on this) & the pontoon boats which seats 10-12 depending on the number of adults. If I remember correctly the pontoon boats are a base price of $125 and then you can add on food and drinks if you like.

We are going in June and wanted to so this since it is one thing we have not done yet. I had several days picked to do this on and I started calling on the first day. Make sure you call a couple of days before hand to determine the phone system and what number you will need to push. I did not remember on the first day and by the time I got through it was to late. The second day as soon as I heard the message start that they were open I pressed the correct number on the phone and went right through. I was lucky this time and got the ressie. I am keeping my fingers crossed this week because I am trying to get CRT.

My suggestions would be to have several possible days to chose from, call a couple of days in advance to figure out the phone system and I even spoke to someone and verified what day I could call on, and start calling early.

The key word in all of this is: EARLY. Call EARLY!
