Welcome to planDisney, Iain.
Thanks for stopping by with your question. It's always good to see a fellow Guest from the North West of England. It's not long now until you'll be "off to Neverland." Just wait until you experience all the EARidescent excitement on offer for the
50th Anniversary Celebration. Make sure you check out some of the new attractions, such as
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT or
Disney KiteTails in Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Booking a
fireworks cruise to watch Harmonious is a "practically perfect" idea! I'm so sorry that you're having trouble making a reservation, Iain. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make your reservation for you. However, unfortunately, you're going to have to keep trying to call 0800 028 0778. It seems that they are higher than normal call volumes right now. I know that can be frustrating. If possible, try calling first thing in the morning or late at night. I'll be wishing upon a star that you'll be able to get your reservation made so that you can enjoy this enchanting experience.
If, for whatever reason, you're not able to book the experience, then here's an idea: Hop on the monorail and go to
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Try catching a
water taxi back to Magic Kingdom Park when
Disney Enchantment is starting. I've done this before and it's kind of like getting a free fireworks cruise!
As we say in Liverpool, "Have a boss holiday, mate."
ChEARS,
Mike
