Didn't get Illuminations Cruise for my mother's b-day even though I was on the phone with someone at 7:01...we'll just take her to McDonalds or something instead I guess

you can keep trying.. sometimes people cancel... or try to share one with someone on the boards

 

[Good Ol Gal]

That stinks!! You're not taking her to McDs.. you'll get something else...

do you have to book the cruises at the 90 day mark too?? I thought you could do those way ahead of time!

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

Yeah, I know. We always put our name in at the marina when we go down there the first day. My parents always get the boat when I'm not down there. When I call 90 days out, I never get it.

maybe something better will come about~~ we just have to think!!

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

After Oct. 1st they're down from 5 boats to 2 I just found out, so getting them will be harder. Makes no sense to me since they were always booked, but what do I know.

 

[kelljacques@aol.com]

did you try this wishes cruise. I have never done that one. I wonder how that is?

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

Tomorrow I'm trying to book the Grand Gathering wishes cruise...that one is not private, but we have about 15 people who will be down there at the time. It starts with a dessert buffet at the Contemp, then you meet Hook, and Smee, see the Electric water parade, and Wishes, and come back to Peter Pan.

that sounds like fun.. is that about the same price as illuminations?

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

That one is per person...different price for Adult and Child. I think its 30 somthing per adult and can't remember child price. But they also bumped up the prices on all personal pontoon fireworks cruises. You have to get food and drink on all the fireworks cruises at Epcot now.

wow I am glad I did that before then.. Don't know if we will ever do it again.. My ds had a great time driving the boat though.. He also stood up and told jokes to all the people in the other boats while we waited for it to start!

 

[Good Ol Gal]

We've never done one, sounds like fun though.

aw: LAST aw:

we took my mom as a surprise..


she has issues she will sit and wait for 2 hours before just to get a good spot to stil. welll I though she was going to go crazy when I said I wanted to get ice cream at the Yacht Club .

we had to wait in a long line then my husband and i took for ever to eat our ice cram.. you could see she was going insane... looking at her watch every few minuts. we just kept eating slowly. then I had to go to the bathroom..


we finaly said we wanted to go look at the boats.. walked over there then told her... she was very happy,(i think mostly because she didn't think we would get a good spot)

 

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

I do so enjoy messing with family's heads. Well I have to go to work. Back in a while.

 

[kelljacques@aol.com]

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

I hope my breakfast gets here soon...

 

[Good Ol Gal]
