Wishes Cruise

Where does the Wishes Cruise leave from? What time is the departure? Any other info?

Thanks!

If you're doing the regular Wishes cruise, you can leave from any of the resorts on the lake, the WL, the Poly or CR. If you are doing the Grand Gatherings one, you leave after the dessert reception from CR.

Do you know what time it leaves?

It does help. But I still am looking for what time the cruise departs... AND... if we book the cruise leaving from the WL (we're eating at WCC), do you think they'd drop us off at the GF at the end of the cruise (where we're staying)?

I'm not sure about dropping you off at GF, a friend of mine was eating dinner at WCC also, and they brought them back to the WL, but you could ask your captain to be sure. As far as what time the cruise leaves, it depends on what time Wishes is that night. When we did it in May, Wishes was at 9:00, and we had to be at the dock at 8:15 I think? They take you on a short cruise around the lake before the fireworks cruise starts. When my friend did it in May, they originally had to be on the dock at 8:45 for a 10:00 Wishes I think, but then they bumped the fireworks up to 9:00, so they had to call and reschedule their dinner. When are you going? If the hours are out already for when you'll be there, you should be able to tell from that...allow around 30 to 45 minutes before the fireworks start to be at the dock. Hope that helps!

When we were there Wishes was at 10 and we had to be at the dock by 9:15 We were picked up at FW after the HDDR and dropped off at WL as that is where we were staying. I had asked about this when I made the reservation and was told no problem. When we checked in at the WL they printed out our week long itinerary of ADR's, etc, and it had been noted on there. The captain was aware of this when we were picked up and it was just fine. And the cruise was great.

Thank you! That's just what I was hoping for. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Did you do the Premium where you had the music piped in? Did you do any extra food?

Thanks!

When we did the Wishes cruise in July it picked us up at 9:15 at the GF. I didn't ask for the "premium" cruise (honestly didn't know there was a difference) and we had the music piped in. I would just ask about the music when you make your reservation. We had a great time.

Thanks. I emailed the GF Concierge and asked them to try to book this. Our 90 day window (can't do this on the +10) is 8/31. I asked for the boat with music and to pick us up at WL and drop us off at GF. Did you have any extra food catered? Or just what was offered on the cruise?

No, we met up with friends and had dinner at Le Cellier (we were stuffed) and then went to GF to take the cruise. Honestly, the way the boat was set up I think food and drinks would have been awkward. Have a nice dinner and if you still want something get some ice cream from Gasparillas when you get back. Have fun!

We have 6pm ADR's a WCC that night. I'll most likely be stuffed too! Thanks!
