[dee47]

williejs -- Can I join you too? I'm going sans DH and DS this time (long, boring story) so it's just me -- I promise to behave and share expenses!

 

[williejs]

No problem. The more the merrier. See message above for times and location... I think we meet at 8:00 at the Y&B Dock. When it gets closer - I'll confirm. Look forward to meeting you and having a good time.

My DW & I have just planned a last-minute trip down to see the Mouse. We'll be in the parks July 8th-11th. I was reading about the Illuminations cruises & they sound terrific. If anyone has 2 or 3 openings{we're visiting a friend down there} for any of those days & you're looking to fill them, please PM me. I'd love to check it out.

FYI, this will most likely be piloted by Captain Jeff from BoardWalk/IllumiNations Fame!

Can you arrange for cocktails aboard and/or bring you own???

I've heard the Illuminations cruise can be very smoky due to the fireworks. Is this true???

Also, what is the cancellation policy?

Thanks.

>Can you arrange for cocktails aboard and/or bring you own???
Yes, you can pay Room Service Prices. Disney Policy you cannot bring your own. Most drivers would not mind if you carried a drink (in a plastic cup) over from The Crews Cup or Ale & Compass Lounge.

>I've heard the Illuminations cruise can be very smoky due to the fireworks. >Is this true???
You are docked and cannot move. There is always the chance that you will be downwind and it can get smokey. Does it happen every night, of course not. Is it possible, yes. Would I NOT book a cruise because of this possibility? No way.

>Also, what is the cancellation policy?
The policy is 24 Hours in advance.

Ok, I read all 26 pages of this thread and I am getting ready for my 90 day window. Can anyone that has booked recently tell me the number order for making the phone call.

I am reading conflicting info on the press 1 or press 2 bit and haven't really figured it out.

If someone could let me know that would be fantastic!!!!

Thanks!!

We have some space, July 9th leaving from the Polynesian. Is this for Wishes? I have never been to Disney World so I'm not sure on the name.

Anyway, we have space, we are having a birthday cruise for my 1 year old daughter. There are 5 of us, me, DH, 2 DS (8 and 10) and DD (1) and they said it holds 12.

Let me know if anyone is interested in sharing.

illuminations cruise july 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yes i know i know way way way too far in advance but just want to register interest in sharing a cruise with a friendly all american family .....

Im typing this from dear old bonnie scotland and as you will appreciate booking up things like this is nigh on impossible from my side of the atlantic , with time differences etc etc etc ...

my family are coming back to disney in july 2006 ..arriving july 6th for two weeks staying pop century ..were all fully booked up so now the quest to book the extras that made our last visit ....july 2000 so memorable...

one of the highlights was an illuminations cruise that we shared with the hellwig family ... thats marla hellwig who is a mod on the dis ....

we met beforehand for dinner then enjoyed a really wonderful evening

this was all only possible for us through the ability of that wonderful lady marla to secure a illuminations cruise booking...and then sharing her good fortune ..

hence the reason for this advance request ...

we are a party of four scots , myself my wife cathy her best friend gill and our daughter meghan ..

so if there is anyone oot there prepared to do the phoning and would like to share the cruise with us and would like to meet a handsome scotsman, though i cant guarantee ill be wearing my kilt..but you never know ...then bear us in mind

cheers the noo
and best wishes from bonnie scotland

Looking to share! (or mooch, if you've scored a ride)

We are a group of 6 (four adults & two delightful kids ages 6 and 4) who are looking to share the cost of an Illuminations cruise with up to 4 additional passengers. Our preferred dates are Saturday, December 17 or Tuesday, December 20. We will be at WDW December 17-21, 2005.

We are all non-smokers, non-drinkers and want to keep this a family-friendly ride. Please PM me if you're interested in joining us!

If we hook up now, we can have everyone calling for reservations in September...

I'll post again when the December thread gets started.

 

[twoeeyy]

we will be there oct4-13 to celebrate daughters 13th birthday. would love to share with someone, preferable the 12th since that is her birthday but any date within the 4-13 would be good.

 

[lham1531]

twoeeyy -
October 12 is the exact date I was going to try for - either Illuminations or Wishes Cruise - I think I'm going to try for Illuminations first.

We have younger children - 3 DDs - 8, 5 and the youngest turns three on October 15 - I was not going to add birthday stuff on - from what I hear, the extras are not worth the additional cost - oh yeah, total number in party is 7 including the 2 year old -

My girls would get a kick out of celebrating a 13 year-old's birthday -

But I have no idea if I can get the ressie . . .
