Has anyone mentioned the Grand 1 as an option. It is the now 52ft Searay that is docked at the Grand Floridian. It is more $$$ but will hold 18 (I think). We have done both the pontoon cruises and now several on the Grand. They are both great (if the weather is). It is so nice to enjoy the show...

Saw her at the Candlelight I looked to my right Mon. Night 11/26 at the 6:45 Candlelight with John O'Hurley and there she was. By the way after many Candlelights I may have found a new favorite. He was GREAT !!! She was too.

Another GF lover here. We stayed there before Christmas two years ago and will never forget how wonderful it was. Holiday decorations were amazing. Don't forget special events if available (MVMCP and Candlelight Processional). We also love AK and splitting the two will make it even more fun. I...

Family of old pros meeting family from out of town. 5/2 till 5/10. First 3 nights at AKL then offsite condo with the rest of family. Water parks by day the rest at night. Even trying that "other park" for first time. Two days tied to Discovery Cove and Seaworld. ADRs for Boma (dinner and...

It has become one our favorite things. We have done the EPCOT cruise and several Wishes ones and every one has been worth it. Great show from a great location and NO crowd to fight when it is over.

Awesome !! That is what I think of the fireworks cruises. We have done the pontoon at Epcot and Wishes. Then on our Dec. 05 trip we were staying at the Grand Floridian and a cast member had been stood up for a MVMCP fireworks cruise. Anyway she invited us along and we got a great show for free...

Another Local As a Jacksonville native that commutes from the far southern burbs to the far north of the city 5-6 days a week at all times of the day and night, I can tell you without a doubt GO I-295 around. The river view on the long "Buckman" bridge is cool, and if you go I-95 enough times...

When will you be there? Lot's of great X-mas ideas. Also where you stay can be important. We made our dream trip last year early in Dec. Fireworks cruise, stayed at the Grand Floridian, Very Merry X-mas party twice, Candlelight Processional x2 and lots of meals at places we had always wanted to...

AAA is the only one I know of. Good Luck

We always get the seasonal pass. Less $$ and the blackout dates are times I wouldn't be there for free. Too hot or too crowded. The free parking isn't even an issue because we stay on property. A no brainer for me. By the way last year the money saved purchased a waterpark annual pass. Enjoy...

There is also a larger boat available. The Grand 1 out of the Grand Floridian Marina will hold 13. It is more $$ and I don't have knowledge of how worth it is. But it will hold your 12 quests.

Great point wdwwishes !!!

Giving up control of not just yourself but your family to a group of strangers is a very scary thing. The stats don't lie but that doesn't matter the fear is real. Please keep in mind that it is just a short part of a memorable time with your family and a great chance to teach your children...

I have to say Yes. We have been on both the Epcot and the Wishes fireworks cruises. Both were Very enjoyable, once was with a small group and once just our family. Wishes happened to be a Very Merry X-mas party show and it was Great. Illuminations was also fun, but we ended up downwind and the...

Consider a MVMCP fireworks cruise, or go all out and book the Grand 1 for a late night private cruise.
