Illuminations cruise ?'s

[dorisdvu]

What is the difference between a "Pontoon Boat" cruise and the "Disney's BoardWalk Resort IllumiNations Cruise"?

Also, if you book a birthday cruise, can and do other people want to join like they do on regular cruises?

Both are essentially the same, as far as boat is concerned. Just that if you book a time later in the evening, it would wind up being an Illuminations cruise. Boats go out of the Boardwalk and Y&BC docks. Most from the latter. You do book the boat, not just seats, so if others were joining you, it would be at your choosing.

Thanks for the information. I would love to do the birthday cruise (DN will be 5 during our stay) but I'm not sure if I want to pay $220+ for cake, soft drinks and decorations vs just a regular pontoon cruise for $120+. There are only 5 of us. Decisions, decisions lol.

But fun, isn't it? Enjoy. Our family cruise in '99 was the highlight of our trip.

Fun yes, but it's also driving me crazy. Everyday I view the boards and see something new. We're only staying 7 days and I'm trying to squeeze as much in as possible.

Love the pictures Dan. We are going for the first time in March (staying at the Dolphin).

PS: Wonder if the bride and groom are still married?
