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

[Crazy Hakim]

ALL FYI!

You know how I say "Never give up the ship!"
I passed by Bayside Marina last night...... only 3 pontoon boats were booked!
Breathless, and 2 pontoons did not depart! A perfect opportunity for a last minute cruise!

Hi,

Do I want to book Wishes or IllumiNations?
Thanks!

My DW and I have an Illuminations Cruise booked for 9/30 (with one other DIS-couple)...

We are looking for 2 other couples (or adult individuals) to join us to help split the cost ($141) and have a nice evening on the water...

We would like adults only, we have NOTHING against kids, it's only because we just got back from a 2 week WDW-trip with our 2 & 8 yo boys, so this is our Adult-Get-away (not to mention our 11th anniversary) .

So if you are seriously interested, PM me and we will take the first 2 couples. We can exchange details once we make contact.

Thanks!

Hello! We are getting ready to make reservations for a Wishes Cruise and wondered if there is a trick in which buttons to press to get right through to reservations.
Does anyone know which resorts the boats leave from and how many there are?
We did the Illuminations one last year and wanted to try something different.
Thanks!!

We will be at Disney in Feb 2006. I know it is early but I like to plan in advance.
We have 1 child and 2 adults so I hope we can share a cruise if anyone else is doing the cruise in Feb. keep us in mind!

7:02am and no boats left for Dec 4. I am very SAD! They said that 700 calls come in at once so you have to be very lucky to get one. If anyone has 1 and would share(4 adults 1 child) please pm me. Thanks

I am trying my luck in the morning for Dec. 5. We are a family of 4, and willing to share if I am so lucky. If not that lucky, could someone please share with us. I will send you a check right away to reserve spots!!

I'd love to share with you if you are lucky. We are either a family of 4 and an infant or a family of 2 and an infant, or a family of 2 (no infant). My parents will be there the same time...I could invite them, not invite them, or not invite them and get them to babysit.

O.K. I was up this morning and started redialing at 5:50.
The boats were full when i got on at 6:01.
I held a wishes boat just in case.We are a family of 4, and would love to share with another family.Let me know!!!

I was able to get our Wishes cruise booked this morning. It seems like if you press #3 then 1 it gets you right through.... even thought I was so nerveous my finger was shaking.

If you are staying around Bayside Marina (BoardWalk, Y&B Club, Swan or Dolphin) and if you are so bold, you could always try walking up at around 8pm, and seeing if there are any groups that might consider adding you on their boat. It's a long-shot, but it is Disney and you never know!

Someone just dosn't want me to see Illuminations! I was on the phone at 7 and had a boat but just as the girl started taking my information she hit the wrong button and her computer went dead. DW must have old computers because it took her over 4 minutes to reboot her computer. You know the rest.....no boat.

 

[vic32]

I can't believe I got a cruise this morning!!! I just happened to wake up early and thought what the heck!! Anyway I will share my luck!
There are 4 of us, Kids are 7&3. I am set up for Dec.6th! I would love to have someone along that doesnt mind out hanging out with a very outgoing 7 yo boy!!! He makes friends everywhere he goes!
I can not believe my luck- maybe I should buy a lottery ticket!
Please pm me- I am leaving tommorow for WDW-quick girls trip- so I will get back to you next week!

Thanks!!!!!thanks!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!

I have Breathless booked for the Illuminations cruise on Friday, 12/2/05. I *may* be releasing it (we are working out our schedule now). I just wanted to give advance notice in case anyone wanted it...maybe we could coordinate my cancellation so that someone could pick it up......

Liisa... just sent you a pm

Oh Dear, that might be too bold for this girl!!!

I was lucky enough to reserve an Illuminations Cruise on November 9th, 2005. It departs from the Beach and Yacht Club Marina.
Currently, the crew consists of my In-Laws, my wifes sister and her daughter (over 21), my wife and myself. There are a total of 10 seats. I have 4 seats available.
If anyone is interested in the remaining 4 seats, please PM me.
Thanks,
Dave

My wife and I reserved a cruise last time we were at Disneyworld. Eight other DISBOARD fans joined us, we had a ball!!!
