Is there really such a thing? Is it like the Illuminations cruise? How cool! Does anyone have info to share? I don't think I've heard of this one before...
Hi. I think you are refering to the Grand Gathing fireworks cruise, which has appearances by Captain Hook, Smee and at the end Peter Pan. There is more information under grand gatherings on the WDW website.

My family did a Grand Gathering when they were here in January and we did the Pirate Cruise. It starts from the Contemporary with a check in (you all get a special pin) and coffee, soda, cookies, stuff like that. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee come in for pictures and autographs then you meet the pirates who are on your boat. Everyone then parades down to the boat dock following either Hook or Smee to your boat. Once on the boat, (the characters don't come on the boat, only the pirate) and you sing pirate songs, play pirate games and have fun on the trip out to where you watch the fireworks. The music for Wishes is piped in to the boat and it's a neat vantage point. We also got to see the Electric Water Pagent from right on the lagoon. Once you get back to the dock, everyone gets to meet Peter Pan. I thought it was worth it and a whole lot of fun!!!! I would definatly recomend it if you have enough people for a Grand Gathering!
