Ilumination Cruise OR Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise

Help!!! This is the first time we will be doing something like this so we want to know which cruise we should do. I believe we are renting a Pontoon boat so it will be wheelchair accessible for my DD. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Thanks for the info!!! I was wondering if you knew how far in advance the cruises can be booked????

I'll throw in my vote for the Wishes cruise..... I did it last May with some other Dis'ers who had room for me and it was AMAZING. They can be booked 90 days in advance by calling (407)-WDW-PLAY.

Does anyone know if you can bring your own food on the Cruises.

you cannot brong your own food and drinks
they do sell packages and they will provide the food and drinks
we had a birthday cruise in august - it came with water and a cake
maybe some soda but im not sure
my friend had beer in a cup - she was almost finished and the captain
asked her to throw it out
i have read other posts that they were allowed to bring drinks and food on board
our cruise was a wishes cruise out of the contemporary
we had a great time

Thanks for the info. It will be my DH Bday so maybe I will find out about the BDay cake. Thanks for the idea!!!!

Also, how did you get so lucky as to have a girls only trip to WDW?????? I'm jealous!!

For extra $$ you can turn the cruise into a "birthday cruise". Our pontoon had a big banner on side and they provided the cake.

It was reported here a while back that they cite "alergy reaction avoidance" as a reason for not being able to bring your own food aboard.

That sounds great !!!!I will have to give a call and find out about it. My DH hates making a big deal about his Bday so I love doing this like this to him

I just made reservations for the Wishes cruise and was told NO bringing your own drinks/food on board.

They can as someone else said, arrange for anything you want to be brought on board, for a price.
(Such as champagne, fruit, anything!)

As part of the price increase (Oct 1 2005, I believe), you receive a "snack pack" (my term) of soft drinks, chips, popcorn, etc. They can give you a detailed list.
