Ahoy, Dena! I'm so glad you sailed over to planDisney today. I hope your Walt Disney World Resort visit is full of fair winds and following seas, so let's look at how the Fireworks Cruises work.
The
EPCOT Fireworks Cruise departs and returns to the Bayside Marina at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. Your pontoon will travel from Crescent Lake to the World Showcase Lagoon, where you'll be treated to a fantastic view of
Luminous The Symphony of Us.
Unfortunately, there isn't a waterway along that route to Bay Lake, where
Disney's Wilderness Lodge is located. I decided to do a little research to see if the other option, the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise, could drop guests off at different locations.
I chatted with a seafaring Cast Member who said that guests have several pickup and drop-off locations for the
Magic Kingdom cruises, including the Wilderness Lodge Marina. If you'd prefer to take that cruise, she suggested you call the Enchanting Extras line at (407) WDW-PLAY soon to book it or modify your existing cruise reservation. Be sure to let them know where you prefer to be picked up and dropped off, and they'll do their best to accommodate you.
My pals and I recently enjoyed a magical experience aboard the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise, and my top tip is to bring tissues! Watching nighttime spectaculars like
Happily Ever After is a moving core memory you'll reminisce about for years to come. A bonus with this cruise is that you might be treated to a peek at the
Electrical Water Pageant like we were.
Dena, this landlubber is always happy to answer your questions at
planDisney! Have a wonderful time, and think of me while you're dabbing those tears during the fireworks.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
