    Hi I'm looking to book a boat from the Floridian for my son & his girlfriend in the 20th November for the afternoon. Can you advise how I go about booking this

    Ahoy Karen!

    Thanks for sailing by with your question. I'm happy to steer you in the right direction.

    I'm not sure whether you are referring to a Fireworks Cruise, a Guided Fishing Excursion, a Motorized Boat Rental, or another adventure from the Enchanted Extras Collection. I had the joy of sailing on a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise from Disney's Polynesian Village Resort with a group of friends last year and it's anchored firmly as one of my most treasured Disney memories. At the time, these sailings also launched from Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, but ports of departure are subject to change.

    To book one of these seafaring experiences, you’d need to reach out to the Tours & Recreation Team at 0800 16 90 730 (UK). I haven’t gone on a fishing excursion myself, but you can cast your line for information at the same number. Keep in mind these experiences have limited availability and do book up quickly. Guests typically begin booking 60 days in advance, so while I can't guarantee you'll find exactly what you want, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can reserve the special experience on their behalf.

    If you are instead referring to a Motorized Boat Rental, advance reservations are not required with rentals available on a first-come, first-served basis. I don't believe you'll be able to book this on your son's behalf without being present. However, I reached out to a Cast Member via chat who advised you can contact Recreation at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa at 407-824-2326 (US) to inquire about rental and payment options. Unfortunately, they did not have a UK-specific phone number to share with me, but you can request to be transferred from the main Tours and Recreation number I shared above if they are unable to offer guidance.

    Karen, if I've misinterpreted your question or you need further assistance please navigate back and let us know. 

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
