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

[Tikihula]

Look at the first page of this thread - it explains how to book Wishes and Illuminations Cruises. If you're looking for space on a boat, post your dates and number of people in your party on this thread, and hopefully someone will respond. Or, you can try to book your own boat at the 90-day window. They go quickly so you have to call as soon as the lines open up at 7am eastern time. If you don't have enough people in your party to fill a boat and want to share expenses with someone else, post on this thread and you'll be surprised at how many responses you'll get. These are very popular cruises.

I have tried and failed to call from UK to book Illuminations and Wishes Cruises.

Would love to share with anyone who might have managed to book either or both of these from August 20th until August 28th.

4 people - myself, DH, DD (25) & DS (17). We did this on our last trip and found it to be a wonderful way to make new friends

Are the boats sailing in December? I would love to book one now for our first visit _ Christmas week 2007.

Assuming you are talking about IllumiNations,, yes the show must go on. There is only one change, instead of 9pm each night, IllumiNations is scheduled at 9:30pm in December until 12/31.

Excellent - we would love to book for one night - do we have to wait until 90 days prior or are they accepting bookings now?

I have just called Disney recreational
Price for Illumination s 10 seater is $275 + tax and wishes is $225 ,8 people and $250 10 people + tax.
Does anyone want to share the cost of either
for 28th August 2007
or
3rd September.2007
We are staying at the All Star Movie resort.

One adult and one child aged 10

I would prefer Illumination but it really depends on what is left on booking day
so anyone willing to share either please contact me.
Booking date for 28 August is 30th May
and booking date for 4th September is 5th June
thanks

KNELSON - You have to wait until 90-days prior, then start calling right at (or a few minutes before) 7am Eastern Daylight Time). Here's a link to a calculator that will give you the date you need to start calling, based on what date you want to do the cruise.

If that link doesn't work, there is also a link to the calculator on page 1 of this thread.
If you can't get a reservation, keep trying as people frequently cancel. Good luck!

I can't believe they've raised the price so much in the last few years. But of course, since the cruises are in such high demand people will be willing to pay whatever Disney wants to charge. Thanks for the updated prices.

Anyone have a reservation with room for four (two adults, two kids) anytime between August 8 and the 17th? Wishes or Illuminations, doesn't matter.

 

[Bozza]

Would be interested in either a Wishes or an Illuminations Cruise any date between 2nd July and 16th July inclusive. We are a party of 3.
