Thats the number we used to rent a fireworks cruise to see the MK fireworks in October. Our boat left from the Contemporary dock. There were 9 in our party. Our two grandsons wore life vests. The skipper provided soft drinks and individual snack bags. Fireworks were at 9, we left the dock at 8. After the fireworks we stopped to see the Electric Water Parade. Price was somewhere around $300 plus tip.

We had a great time.

We did this on our last trip, I think it was $230+ tip. Left from WL, was the beat thing we’ve done at Disney to date! My family loved it.

You can get a pontoon boat at the Grand Floridian for maybe $60 to $75 dollars per hour in the daytime, and drive it yourself. It’s a great way to relax away from the crowds. At night, they don’t allow guests to pilot their own boats, so you need a Disney “Captain”. This is why the cost is so much higher at night.

Your DVC Discount applies.

We have also done it, but ours was a wee bit more expensive as we put champagne and tuxedo strawberries on the list when we booked.
Same thing for illumination cruise. Do they still do that? (For the new show of course).
