Pirate Adventure Cruise Reservations

[PrincessWithABlaster]

Anyone know if the pirates cruise (the one in the morning just for kids not the family fireworks cruise) accepts reservations 180 days from your check in day or if it's strictly 180 from the day you want to do it? I was not able to book it for the middle of my trip the first week of May this morning. The CM didn't know if they just hasn't loaded it yet or if I couldn't book it for a couple more days. I can call back every day checking but if someone knows for sure it may save me the trouble. Thanks.

I didn't think it was available that early but I've never booked it more than a month out so I'm not sure. I've also never had a problem getting it for the days we wanted so I wouldn't stress if you don't book it or see it at 180. Most likely though I'd say it's however many days out from the date not the start of your trip like with dining.

Thank you for the info. Glad to hear it's not something that books up quickly. I'll worry about it less.

It wasnt loaded at 180 days out. I called back at 100ish days to book. My daughter went on the GF one today and it wasn't full.

I was able to book mine for next week at 180 days from the start of my trip (the day I made all my dining reservations.) I wouldn't worry though, I'm sure you will get it!

I booked mine at 180 plus today.
I wanted Thursday May 4th from the Grand Floridian but she was it was booked. So I got Wednesday May 3rd.

Not sure if the 4th was really booked or just unavailable for some reason, but you may want to call soon!

Oh man - I wanted Thursday May 4th from the Grand Floridian but we are staying at the Swan for the first few days so can't call for May 4th until this Friday.

Let me know what happens when you call!
I found it strange that it was booked already but I guess is possible...

We did the one at the BC/YC a year ago. I can't find it now but when I was booking it I found somewhere that told me the days each resort had the cruise. Each resort only did the cruise like 1 or 2 days a week. We had no problem get our reservation well after the 180 days. You should be fine.

I'm curious to know this info.
The cast member told me every day but Sunday but maybe that includes all resorts.
Maybe the reason I couldn't book on Thursday from the GF is because there isn't one.

Not sure if this is outdated but this lists the days and it says GF M-Sat.

Yes, I think this is what I saw. It does look like GF goes every day though.

Our kids will be on the same cruise.

Thanks all for the info. I was able to book the Wed 5/3 cruise today.

Fun! How old are your kids? My son is 4 and loves Pirates. I think he'll have a great time!

What did they say when you asked for May 4th?

 

[REEREEG]

I was just told that the Grand Floridian doesn't have the pirate adventure on Tuesdays or Thursday. They have it Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I can't remember about the weekend. As far as weekdays go, the Yacht Club also has it Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

Are Pirates League & pirate adventure cruise reservations supposed to show up in MyDisneyExperience?

No. you can manually add it to your daily itinerary though under notes.

Oh interesting. Where did you hear this?

 

[RachaelA]

It was definitely daily at the GF when I booked back in May for this past Monday. I wonder if it wasn't filling up so they cut some of the days. There were 7 kids including mine on Halloween.

I had originally wanted to schedule the Thursday May 4th one out of Grand Floridian but when I read here it wasn't open, I called today to try to book the Tuesday May 2nd instead. The person on the phone said GF is only M/W/F (she said something about Saturday or Sunday but those aren't options for me so I don't remember that part). I then asked if we could sign up for the Yacht club on on the Tuesday & she said they are M/W/F too but that POR and Caribbean beach club have Tuesday/Thursday...

Maybe that's the basic schedule & then they add more dates as it gets closer?
