HI! I am also hoping to schedule a Wishes cruise in December. I've talked with CM at WDW (1-407-WDW-TOUR) and she told me that they only do the "holiday time" Wishes fireworks during
MVMCP, which I guess is at 9:30. I was confused about that too. There are 5 launches for the cruise, and you can request the one you want - Polynesian, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian or the Yacht Club. Then you request what type of boat and cruise you want. Of course, all this is subject to availability as there are limited number of boats. You can't reserve a boat until 90 before the date of the cruise you want. A CM at the above number can tell you what day you should call in. I'm counting down to my call-in day. BTW, I"m hoping to get a Wishes Cruise on Wed. Dec. 11, if any couple would like to share. It will just be me and DH (celebrating our 10th Anniv.)
