Hello there Ivy, welcome to planDisney, we're so glad you're here!
If I had to recommend one
enchanting extra to experience during your Walt Disney World Resort trip, it would be a
Fireworks Cruise! Not only do you get an amazing view of
Happily Ever After or
Luminous The Symphony of Us, but the leisurely boat cruise you enjoy before the fireworks begin is a wonderful experience in itself! My kids have been asking to do another one ever since!
We had a larger group visiting Walt Disney World Resort last fall, and we were able to reserve multiple cruises together. My recommendation would be to call the helpful Cast Members to reserve your cruise, and they'll be able to point you in the right direction in terms of availability, and the best option for your group. If you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll be able to make
reservations for your entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay) up to 60 days in advance of your arrival.
Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are provided with your cruise, but you are able to bring additional food and beverages on board as well! Our Fireworks Cruise left from the marina at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, so we grabbed a quick dinner from
Capt. Cook's to bring on our cruise since we were enjoying the parks all day. The experience is truly magical, the audio from the show is synchronized onboard, our entire family still cannot stop raving about how wonderful it was!
Best of luck reserving your magical cruise, Ivy! If you think of any other questions we can help with,
please come back to planDisney and ask. We're here to help!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
