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

[LivingtheWDWdream]

Good information.

Welcome to the DIS!

This is a great thread to get information about the cruises!

 

[pperfectmom]

Does anyone have a current price list? I'm not sure if the one listed here is right. It seems to be different from the one on allears. Anybody recently booked and can give us the scoop? Also, is it fairly easy to find someone to join you after you have booked? I'm going to try to get one but we'll definately need to share the cost. Thanks for any info!

I know for my Illuminations Cruise with the Birthday Decorations it was $319 and some change.

When are you going? I have one for May 18th that we could share if your going then?

 

[pperfectmom]

I'd love to be able to join you on May 18th since that's my DD's b-day. Unfortunately, we aren't going until September. I'm just a terminal planner.

Early September maybe? I'd love to do an illuminations cruise the first week of September, but its just my DH and me, so we'd like to share? When are you going?

It'll be the last part of September because we want to do MNSSHP as well. And, as a disclaimer, I should mention that we will have a 5 and a 3 year old with us.

We have a pontoon boat reserved for the Wishes cruise on Thursday Feb 28. It seats ten and as our name states we are a family of five (2 adults, 3 boys-ages 10,8, and 5). It is currently leaving CR but we can change that to the Poly if necessary. Wishes is scheduled for 8pm. The cruise will depart the marina at 7:30pm.

We are looking for fellow DISers to share boat and expenses. Please PM or email jbborneman@gmail.com if you are interested.

I booked Illuminations at Epcot less than 2 weeks ago and the cost was $275+tax

Hope this helps

Thanks for the information....but the number you gave comes up as "can not be completed as dialed" I tried 407-939-7529 and it worked.

Hate to see anyone miss out by not having the right number!

Let's hope I am able to get through this morning and snag a Cruise!

How embarrassing - so sorry about that everyone

Have changed original post

I just returned on Friday. We did the Illuminations cruise on Tuesday, 2/19 with Capt Mike. It was awesome. It was about 55-60º, he had blankets for everyone. The cost is now $275.00 plus tax. It came to $296 and change + tip. I split it with friends of ours so it wasn't that bad.

I would like to book a cruise for my son's birthday. What sort of snacks and drinks are provided and can I order a cake? I would really like to make this special, he graduates this year and hopefully with be joining the big bad working world so this may be our last vacation together for awhile. (ok...plus I think it would be fun)

This is my first post!!
We will be in WDW May 7-13 and would love the opportunity to share a Wishes or Illuminations cruise. All our ADR's are fairly early, so we should be pretty flexible. We are a family of 3...me, DH, and DS who will be almost 3 at that time. Please let me know if anyone needs more people to share expenses! Thanks so much!
