Ahoy there Lori,
The pirate in me was thrilled to take part in the Pirate and Pals fireworks cruise just a few months ago. It will always rank as one of my favorite Disney memories of all time. The great news, is you are in a perfect spot as the party begins and ends at the Contemporary resort.
Guests are treated to a pre-cruise party which includes time to meet a few of the pirate scoundrels roaming around and a visit from Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. Snacks, like chips, cotton candy, chocolate and granola bars, as well as coffee, tea, soda and water are provided. The party then becomes a parade through part of the Contemporary resort as guests are led from the party room,to the boat dock for their high seas adventure.
You will take to the lake in time to have an up close view of the Electric Water parade (parade is subject to change and is running most evenings), and then while you wait for the start of Wishes, there is plenty of time for some pirate fun including singing, dancing and Disney trivia, all led by your Pirate Master Patch. The boat will take you to a perfect viewing spot for Wishes, with no lines or crowds, and then sail you back in comfort to the Contemporary Resort. Upon your return to the Contemporary boat dock, you just may be lucky enough to be treated to a visit from Peter Pan himself.
Reservations can be made by calling 407-939-7529 and most nights do book in advance, so be sure to call early. You can find additional information

Wishing you and your buccaneers a wonderful voyage!
