Reviews
"We went on a fireworks cruise last August - 5 adults - on
Bay Lake to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks. It was really magical
- a brilliant view and a very special experience out on the water.
Makes you feel like it's just for you!!!I would definitely recommend
it." (2/05)
"We took the birthday fireworks cruise this past August, we
had two boats. The evening was lovely, but during our trip around
one of the boats died! This could have been a disaster, but the
staff handled everything well. Other boats made a small cirlce around
us so the "friendship" boats wouldn't hit us by mistake,
and the situation was quickly resolved. The cakes they provided
were beautiful, and the drivers entertained us, leaving us no opportunity
to be upset about the breakdown! It was very well worth the money
and the time it took to get the two boats reserved!" (10/04)
"I have gone on the fireworks cruise for Illuminations. It
was the BEST thing I did on my last trip to Disney (Oct.2003). If
you enjoy Illuminations the cruise is a MUST. I got the boat at
Yacht Club which is where I had parked. So I had a front row seat
to the fireworks and missed the mass exit from the park. The driver
also let the kids that were along try to steer the boat. He also
took us to MGM before hand and we got to see Fantasmic! from the
back. The CM was friendly and VERY nice. Made the whole experience
even better."
"As a surprise to my husband, I booked a specialty birthday
fireworks cruise (8/04). There were 6 adults and 5 kids. The boat
was decorated with a big birthday sign, and balloons. We had a large
cake (more than enough for the 11 of us) and water and coke products.
The boat captain gave us a wonderful tour before we stopped to watch
the fireworks. All 11 of us loved the tour - this was truely a "magical
moment"."
"Went on a Fireworks Cruise at Epcot in 2002. We did a birthday
cruise so there was cake and refreshments. Getting a tour of the
waterways was great - our guide was fabulous! We watched the parade
of nations go by overhead and then slipped under a footbridge in
time to watch the show. Well worth the money!"
