Have you taken
one of the speciality cruises at Disney World?
(Illuminations Cruise, Magic Kingdom fireworks cruise,
etc)? If so what did you think of the experience and would
you recommend this cruise to others?
Have you ever rented a boat at Disney World (water sprites,
pontoon boat, etc)? If so did you enjoy your rental and
would you do it again?

"I haven't done any of the specialty cruises but would
love to hear how people liked them.
I have rented a water mouse a few times---LOVE IT!!!
They are so much fun---we go out for about an hour and
drive by the MK and the MK resorts. I'd recommend it to
anyone."

"We've done the Illuminations Cruise twice and would
recommend it to anyone. As a matter of fact, I can't watch
Illuminations any other way!"

"We took a Wishes cruise this past June. It was a
really nice,
relaxing trip. Our driver drove us around Bay Lake, giving
us a
mini tour and then over the the from the of MK, where we
watched
Wishes. We had a surprisingly good view. Before heading
back to
the hotel, she took us around the Seven Seas Lagoon. My
only
complaint would be that you can't really hear the music for
Wishes
well. It would have added to hear the music.
As for boat rentals, we used the family plan in June. For
around
$250 we had unlimited boat rental for the 10 day stay.
There were
four adults in our party, so when you figure water sprite
rental for
four a couple of times, it was worth it. We also used the
pontoons
a couple of times. They are REALLY slow, but nice for a
relaxing
ride around the lake. The other couple with us met some
friends who
didn't have park passes, so they rode the pontoon over to
the MK to
take a look around from the water. Very nice."

"We have never done a specialty cruise yet. But every
year, we let the
kids rent the water sprites at least once for an hour, and
they just have a blast with that. My husband and I and one
of our kids ride in the pontoon and have a nice relaxing
trip for the hour."

"Last Oct. was the first time I had ever rented a water
sprite. And I
absolutely LOVED it! Definitely would do it again. I took
my camera
out with me and took all sorts of pics that I never had
taken before
cuz I'd never been in that area. It was sooooo much fun!"

"We did the Illuminations cruise on the Breathless a
few years ago. Our
experience was less than ideal because the driver thought
it'd be fun to whip around and make the wake splash up into
the boat, soaking the kids. It was fun for a minute, but
then they were soaking wet and cold during the show :(.
Even with that incident notwithstanding, it's kind of a
been there, done that, don't need to do it again kinda
thing for me."

"On our first trip to WDW we were invited to share an
Illuminations cruise by a family we met online. It was
magical. What a great way to experience Illuminations for
the first time.
On our last trip to WDW we rented water mice. It was great
fun and we
received a DVC discount."
