Specialty Cruise--Wishes?

[nameless]

Hey Everyone,
I just reserved a Wishes Cruise for this April 9th . I have never done this before and I am soooo excited. I know there is not audio on the cruise but thats ok because I plan to see it again in MK also. Has anyone ever done this ----how was it? Will I also be able to see the floating electrical pageant after the cruise? We are leaving from Grand Floridian marina if this makes any difference. Would love to here your opinions on the cruise. Thanks!

We did this last year and it was spectacular! We were able to see the water pageant as well.

Enjoy!

Some of the boats do in fact have audio... there is a larger size and a smaller size, the large boat has the audio. Often times the captain will try and park near a large boat so you can hear it. ALso you can hear Wishes it just wont be as loud or as clear. In Sept when we stayed at the WL we could hear some parts of Wishes from there and we could see them also!! You will have a great time because Wishes is wonderful!!!

The water pageant viewing all depends on the timing of it and where you are picked up from. If you mention it to your driver, they may try to work it to where you get to see it. I actually drive these cruises and it's hard to work out the timing on them. Basically, the pageant starts at 9 at the Poly and goes to the Grand, then to the WL, Fort, and Contemporary. If fireworks are at 9, you should be ok to see it, cause it will be in front of the Grand right after, and you will actually be pretty much forced to watch it, because you can't get into the Grand marina at that time. If fireworks are at 10, it you should be able to catch it as well (it may be going on as you're heading out to start the cruise). Just mention it to your driver and they will try to work it out.
