Well I am now 2 for 2!! Got the cruise I really wanted this morning. Later this week I will prolly cancel my Dec 18th ressie and keep the Dec 19th ressie, but I have to make sure the 19th date works for everyone in our party....

If your interested in the 18th cruise.... PM me and I will let you know when I cancel it.

In the beginning of this post it states that you can make a reservation for the Illuminations cruise 90 days from the day you want to cruise. Does this rule remain unchanged? We want to go 2/7/06, so according to the calculator in the beginning of this post, i can book on 11/05/05. My question is, we'll be arriving at Disney 1/27/05, and the 90 day date for that is 10/29/05. can we make the Illuminations resservation on 10/29, or do we have to wait until 11/5? Also, I thought I read somewhere that you can now make your resservations 100 days out. Am I wrong ? Thanks

Since I have had good luck booking I thought I would add my tips... First, the info on page one is excellent! I didnt even have to use the cheater method, meaning I entered in my phone number and not the other option

First open up this page.... What time is it exactly Get your phone ready and hit send at 6:59:56 that way by the time the clock hits 7 your already there, if that makes sense. (maybe you should see how long it takes on your phone to go from hitting send to dialing.. for my phone it takes 5 seconds from the time I hit redial to the time it connects)

Then following the prompts listed on page one... I would hit #3 count to 2(in my head) then hit #2 count to 2 enter phone number (followed by the # sign) count to 2 hit #1 count to 2 then hit #2. I dont even bother listening to the message... I just count off two... and hit the next number...

When they answer Firmly and loudly (coz your talking over them) say I need the 8 pm specialy cruise outta of the Y&BC for what ever date (it kills me that you have to say the date... like the people who are calling at 7 am want another day, but YOU DO need to say the date) and please HURRY!!!

I hope this helps some of you. I am three for three (2 in a row this trip and got the cruise last October also)

I would love to do either a Wishes or Illuminations cruise on either Nov 29, 30, or Dec 1. If anyone has space in their party for one just extra person (me), please PM me.

Thanks and happy cruising!

 

[QuiltTeddy]

Well Laurabearz, you need some as congratulations for getting not one, but two set up. Hope you enjoy!

As I'm already at work at that time, I'll just have to wait and see if anyone advertises that they are looking for two more passengers on their boats for when we are down there 12/18-12/23.

The 90+10 is for ADRs aka dining, not the cruises... the cruises are STILL 90 days out.
