Does anyone have room for 2 on a cruise during the nights of June 11th through the 14th?

PS. Just mentioning that the June Link helped us find a cruise to share and it was a great experience!! The link is in the first post of this thread. We had 2 responses from that thread.

is it true cruises can only be booked 90 days ahead? i called to book one and was told to call back july 1st...

if anyone is interested in sharing an illuminations cruise w/a family of four (assuming i can snag one) for sept 28-oct 3, let me know...

I discovered that too when I called WDW-PLAY. I guess 180 days is only for DINE ADR. I am going to be at WDW same dates at POR for MNSSHP/F&W. I've never booked a Illuminations or Wishes cruises. We're a family of four as well. Let me know if you have any luck.

I have the Wishes Fireworks Cruise at Magic Kingdom
Its booked for Wed 19th July at 9.00pm leaving from the Contemporary Resort marina and the boat will have the music and Wishes soundtrack piped in!

There are spaces available so if theres anyone who'd like to come onboard and share the experience (and the cost unfortunately ) just send me a PM and we can arrange it.

If by any chance someone has a cruise booked on June 30th and has room for two more, I'd be very very very interested in joining you. My g/f and I will be visiting that night and she has just gone through a very traumatic loss and I'm looking for a little pixie dust to cheer her up! If anyone has a room for two young adults (22) on a cruise that night we'd be very interested and of course would chip in our share, please e-mail at shawn@ILGTG.com ! Thanks and God Bless.

I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. I was looking for the July Post list but am not able to find it anywhere.

I am looking for ANY openings on ANY of the specialty cruises for the dates of July 1-10, 2006. This may be a long shot but we are a family of 5 (myself, DW, DD12, DS10 & DD6).

If anyone has room and is looking for someone to share expenses, please send a pm or reply here.

Thank you.

Hi

Looking for room for my DD and I July 31st for an Illuminations cruise.......I know it's a longshot, but worth a try.

Looking for Wishes Cruise Info.

1. Am I at the correct thread? The search feature is not working
2. I am planning on going on August 23rd and can not find reviews of wishes
Has anybody been?
3. I am staying at CR with MK view on Concierge level. Does anybody know if the cruise is worth while as I imagine my view from CR will be nice as well

I tried to book Epcot but was only able to get MK Wishes

Hi

I have just been on to Disney and apparently most dates are available for my time 16-28th July. Cost is prohibitive on my own anyone want to share before I book. There are up to 6 places available. Can't go on 20th or 21st July. Please pm me with details. We are looking at about £15 per person.

we did the wishes premium cruise in january and LOVED IT!!! it was awesome! the kids were speechless (which is a very rare occurance w/my kids! LOL!)

that being said, if i were staying at the CR w/concierge and the ability to watch it from the hotel, i'd probably skip the cruise... but i'd keep trying for the illuminations one... and if that were unavailable i'd find another "special" to spend that money on (fishing excursion, race car, surfing lessons, dolphin dive, horseback riding, golf, etc)... but that's just mnsho!

 

[RedsoxMickey]

Gigi,
Thank you so much for the advice and the suggestions for the other "special" things to do. I think we will look into those.

[RedsoxMickey]

On Aug 21 4 of us including DS 10 DD 7

On Aug 23 4 (as above) or 6 (includes my brother and DW)

On Aug 25 (same as 8/23)

 

[AlaskaMOM]

Have a question...
Since they change the time of Illuminations for Dec (to 9:30) what time do you ask for when calling to reserve a "specialty cruise". Normally you ask for the 8pm cruise for Illuminations at 9PM, so do you ask for the 8:30 cruise??? Or am I overthinking things??
