Do the IllumiNations cruise have audio?

silly me i missed the month out on my first post. we are going to be in the land of magic in the first two weeks in august

Ah, that does help narrow it down some

We are also going in the first week of August. You won't find anybody yet with room to spare because these cruises can't be booked until 90 days out. For my Aug 3rd check-in, I could not call before May 5th. For us, we will need to get back on this thread in May looking for space if we are unsuccessful in booking our own cruises. Does that make sense?

They don't need it, the pontoon boats are parked less than 20 feet from a speaker system.

So, I stayed up until 4 am (since I'm in California) last night to book an IllumiNations Cruise for June 24 and I got through!!! Those directions were real good! However, I wasn't able to make a reservation Turns out they were doing June 22 and I have to call back tomorrow

Anyway, I'm going to be awake again tomorrow and do the same thing. So wish me luck and I'll let you know since I'm going to ave space for a bunch of people....there's only 3 of us!

Anybody have five seats for Illuminations Friday, May 4th?

 

[Disney_Fanatic]

I can't believe we actually snatched a ressie for May 15th!!! Last time I called they said there were no availability and today they said they have one available!!!

But now I'm confused...
1. I read on the DIS that there are only 5 boats available and they only departs from Yacht/beach club. The CM that I spoke to said the boat will pick us up at the GF marina (we are staying at GF)...does the Illuminations cruise pick up at resorts other than YC & BC?
2. DIS said that the maximum capacity of the boat is 10 people. CM said our boat could sit 8 people max...so is it 10 or 8?
3. CM said snacks and soda are included...is that true?
4. I told the CM specifically that we need boat for Illuminations...but I heard her mumbling to herself about some "celebration cruise"?! Is the "celebration cruise" different from the Illumination cruise?

If I were you, I might call. It sounds like you may have gotten a Wishes cruise. What time did they tell you to be at the dock?

8pm...and CM said the boat will depart at 8:30 which we'll be able to watch Illuminations at 9pm...dunno if it's true...

I have a friend traveling alone 3/30 - 4/5. Anyone have room for 1 adult on Illuminations cruise for any of these nights?

 

[clydenora]

Does anyone have room for 2 adults for an Illuminations Cruise on June 9th, 10th or 11th??

Thanks.

I apologize if this has been posted already...does anyone know if there is room to accomodate a stroller (folded up) on the pontoon boats? We are doing the Wishes cruise in May (the one with the audio feed) and I am wondering whether we will be able to bring the stroller on the boat with us or whether we will have to leave it somewhere on shore (is there a decent place to leave it if necessary?).

Thanks!!!!!!

June 20, 21, or 22....
Anyone have space for me, DH, DS11, DD9 in mid June.... We have done the
Wishes cruise and were looking to do Illuminations at Epcot this year if possible. I overslept on Friday AM and missed making my phone call at 4 AM (CA time!)

 

[iluvdisney01]

I was unable to secure a ressie for an IllumiNation Cruise last night Does anyone have room for 3 adults on June 24th?
