Hi

We are going for a birthday in October. There will be 20 of us.
We have a check in on Wednesday and staying till Sunday
On Saturday night we want to rent 2 pontoon boats to see Epcot fireworks which is our big birthday celebration
so its important we get the reservation.

If I call 60 days prior to that Wednesday will I be able to make the reservation for 2 boats 60 +3 days ahead?
Also if there's a chance we wont we're open to adding Tuesday night so it will be 60 +4.

Just trying to make sure this works out -

ANY ADVICE IS MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Thank you!!
 
It’s going to be hard to book 2 boats for the same night. You’ll have to be on the phone as soon as they open, right at 7. I think you do get the 60 days plus 10 with the boats but I’m not entirely sure, been a while since we’ve booked one, but I do know they’re popular and frequently booked up so hopefully you can get what you need. Have fun!

Per WDW, you get 60 + length of stay. Since you have such a large group, perhaps two of you could call and get the two reservations. Just a reminder that you have to pre-pay for the reservations. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/reservation-window/advance-reservations/
 

so would extending my reservation back to start on Tuesday help my chances then?

It might help but 60+10 is going to trump 60+4.

Do the boats leave from both Boardwalk and BCYC? Don't hesitate to book one from each. Book one, if that's all that's available and call for cancellations.

I'd also check for MK. Grab 2 if available.

what you mean is the longer the better right?

They all leave from YC for EP
 
so crazy question - if I stayed just one night 10 days before we wanted to do the cruise are we able to use the one night to make the pontoon reservation 60 +10
