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

[Crazy Hakim]

Since the cruise leaves from the Y&BC resort.... do you need to have used your park passes that day in order to go on it?
Can anyone confirm this for me?

No problem. You board the boat at Bayside Marina which is at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. You never leave the boat, you watch IllumiNations from the water, you do not need any Park Passes.

Hey Fellow DISers!

Time is winding down and I wanted to throw out the offer once again. I have a Premium Wishes Cruise scheduled for June 2. It's just the three of us: me, DW and DD11. There are 7 more seats available. I've had two parties express interest and both cancelled. The price is $275.00 split evenly per head.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Question:

The pontoon boat apparently holds 10 adults. I've got a potential 6 adults and 5 kids for a cruise - although two of the 'kids' are actually 16 years old.

Given that there's 11 but with 3 little 'uns, will that be OK to fill a boat?

TIA,

Ben

Would you like to share our Premium Wishes Cruise on 7/1? It leaves from The Contemporary Resort - check-in at 9; leaves at 9:30; Wishes at 10. The cost is $275 + tip split evenly by # of people on the cruise - we have 7 people so far - room for 3 more. Wanna go? PM me.

 

[dis2cruise]

this might be a bit off topic but when you book the illuminations cruise
really what are your chances IF you call at 7 am on the nose since their are only 3 boats going out?

3 Boats? There are 6 Boats.
Currently there are (5) 24ft pontoons and (1) 20ft pontoon. The 20ft pontoon is in lieu of Breathless (until?). Granted, one pontoon is set aside for those on a Grand Plan package, and one pontoon is held for the concierge, but if the concierge does not book this boat, it drops into the 407-WDW-PLAY system 7 days before the date. And if nobody from the Grand Plan reserves, this pontoon boat also is available but only the day of the cruise and only bookable in person at Bayside Marina. Usually, when this final boat is available they put a sign in the window at the cashier, but you could always ask at the window.
But, if you look under the bridge, more times than not you should see a total of 6 boats parked to view IllumiNations each night.
