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."
