What time does Illumination Cruise leave BC Resort?

[WDW2000]

I'm hoping to book the Illumination Cruise for my trip in September and don't know what time to schedule my ADR for 'Ohana's. Does anyone know what time you need to be at the boat dock if I should be so lucky to book this cruise?

The last time we did Breathless, we were told to be there at about 8:15 to 8:30 pm. and that was in March. I'm not sure if the time changes for summer months

I think they tell you 8pm. If you're a little late, you just won't be able to cruise the lake as much.

Just to be sure (this has been done before), OHana's is on the "Wishes" side.

Actually, I agree with Bracho -- it was more like 8:15.

When I called to get info about them they told me 8:30pm.
What I want to know is, after it's all over, how do I get back to my car in the Epcot lot?

...we did the "Breathless" in May and it was amazing. I'm just sad that I'm back home now...

Anyway, they told us to be there 8pm-8:15...and I paid at 8, got on the boat at 8:20 and it was plenty of time to cruise around before Illuminations. We even rode around a few times after, as well.
*sigh*

I need to go back...

Enjoy.

Taxi?

1. Arrive at Bayside Marina at 8pm (8:30pm between Thanksgiving and NYE). You will depart anywhere between 8:15 and 8:30, but you won't depart any earlier if you don't get there until 8:30!

2. Tell your pontoon/Breathless Driver that you are parked in the Epcot Lot and they will drop you off at the International Gateway, rather than driving you all the way back to Bayside Marina.
