Is there a WISHES Cruise Central thread?

[DisneyFanatik]

We are going in June and would love to share a Wishes cruise with someone. Is there anywhere to post for Wishes cruises?

The reason I don't think there is a monthly thread is because it is relatively easy to get a Wishes Specialty Cruise. There are quite a few boats available from Wilderness Lodge, The Contemporary, The Polynesian and also The Grand. Therefore, you should have no trouble getting a boat.
While at IllumiNations there are only 5 boats available, 1 from BoardWalk, 3 from Bayside Marina and Breathless also from Bayside Marina. The 6th boat is set aside for guests traveling on the Platinum Plan.

Thanks Mike! I'm looking forward to saying hi at least when you are at the Yachtsman while we're there. I know that when we did the Illuminations cruise about 5,6 years ago it was pay a rate for the boat. I thought Ihad seen that someone mentioned that Wishes or Illum. were pay per seat now? Can you set me straight?

Sure, I think your thinking of the Magical Gatherings Wishes Cruise.

"Magical Fireworks Voyage" -- After bidding farewell to Captain Hook and Mr. Smee on shore, your group will sail with Patch the pirate along Seven Seas Lagoon by Magic Kingdom. This memorable evening includes ideal "seaward" viewing of the "Electrical Water Pageant" and the spectacular new "Wishes" fireworks extravaganza over Cinderella Castle. The voyage features group trivia and song activities and a celebration for special occasions like birthdays, reunions or anniversaries. The irrepressible Patch regales you with tales of Peter Pan on the trip back to shore. Speaking of Peter Pan, he awaits your return to pose for photos and sign autographs. Ages 10 and older, $29.99; ages 3-9, $14.99.

There are 2 different cruises for Wishes that you can get. One cruise is just like the Illuminations cruise--pontoon boat for 12 cost $129 plus gratuity. The other is the Grand Gathering cruise which is a bigger boat and is a cost of $30 per adult and $15 per kid.
