ILLUMINATIONS CRUISES-What they are--How to book--FIND ONE TO SHARE

[MAGICX2]

I got the Wishes cruise WITH audio for Sept 19th. I would be willing to share but with no more than 4 people. Please no flames, but no one under the age of 10. It will just be me and my 10yo dd. We will be leaving from the Polynesian at 7 pm. I will also be ordering some alcoholic beverages, so if this offends you, please don't reply. The cost is $275 plus I will be giving a $50 tip=$325 divided by number of people. Just want to lay it out so no one asks to share and then gets upset about the cost.

Pm'd you!

I have a boat for Illuminations on 9/15 with room for 5-6 more. PM me if you are interested.

Hello, I just sent you a PM. We will be at WDW 9/7-17 & was hoping to hop on board an Illuminations cruise on 9/15.

My DH and I are looking to join an Illumination cruise on September 24 if someone has room for 2.

I didn't see a list for September, so I am just posting it here (hope that is OK).

This date can't be booked for 3 more days, so you might get a response after about Monday. Good Luck!

I got my illuminations cruise today!!! I wanted my dd's birthday on the 17th but I called too late.
Am I going to be in a time crunch with O'Hana at 5:40 and the cruise at 8:00? I'm a little nervous.

You should be OK. With a few suggestions.......
Arrive between 15-30 minutes early at 'Ohana
Tell your server you need to leave no later than 7:30pm, and if he/she seems to forget request your check at 7:15pm
Take a taxi from the Poly to the Yacht Club (if you don't have your own transportation). Don't take the monorail and try to walk all the way thru Epcot.
Arrive at Bayside Marina at 8pm, don't arrive any earlier because you will wait until 8pm for the window to open to check in and pay for your cruise (your Credit Card is held on file for no-show only, everybody has to be rung up the night of the cruise).
So, if you are on schedule don't rush to get there early.

Hiya, We are a family of 7 from Scotland who are hoping to book either a Wishes or Illuminations cruise for a date between 24th September and 3rd October. We would love to share our cruise and will have room for 3 more.

Our party consist of me, DH, DD10, DD8, my mum, dad and sister. I will post again at the end of our booking window i.e. on 5th July if I have been successful.

I only wish that you were going to be there at an earlier time (we will be there from 7 Sept to 14 Sept), and would have loved the opportunity to share a cruise with you! Best wishes though for a great trip!

Thanks very much, it is a shame you are there before us. Hope you find somebody to share with and have a great holiday too!

Thanks! I have already been in touch with 2 other posters (so may be able to do both cruises). We'll have to see, but I am encouraged already.

I have a party of 2 looking to share an Illuminations cruise on the September 16th if anyone has room. Thanks

I have a cruise of the MK fireworks booked for Sept 3rd. It leaves from the Poly. It will be our 1 year anniversary.

I was told that even though they will not have wishes that night you will be seeing the fireworks they shoot off for the pirates and princess party in the MK. From what i hear of the pirates and princess fireworks is that they are the best Disney has done so far. Here is your chance to see A different fireworks show from the cruise.

PM if interested in sharing this cruise. I am open to a few couples or a family. We also do not mind if kids are in the group as long as they as well behaved and are comfortable on a boat.

I have an Illuminations cruise booked for Saturday, September 8 that will be leaving from the Yacht/Beach Marina. We are two couples in our early 50's that are looking for some folks to join us to defray the costs. The boat costs $275 for ten people; I figure with a $50 tip it would be $325 divided by the number of folks on board. Is there anyone that would like to join us. Children are absolutely welcome.

 

[Disney*Dreamer]

Just thinking about a cruise right now. Anyone have illuminations planned on Sept 18th or 19th. We are 2 adults and 2 children ages 2 and 5.
