Yacht/ Beach Club & Boardwalk Marinas
1-12 guests - Maximum 10 adults
$250 plus tax
Includes Boat, Driver, Water, Select Soda and Individually Bagged Snacks.

Has anyone ever done this??? Is it $250 total or $250/person?? Does the boat go into the Epcot lagoon or stay in the Boardwalk area??

We are going with a group of 7 adults and 3 kids in October. We are all "seasoned" DW addicts and are always looking for something different to do. :) Thought this looked like fun.

We did some years back. You get the boat at the Yacht Club marina and they took us for a short ride anound and stopped to see the fireworks under the bridge going to France. It seems they go alittle farther in now. It was a breezy night and the wind was blowing in our direction and there was no avoiding the smoke. The cost is total and we did tip the driver.

The boat parks under the bridge between UK and France. I would splurge for the "party package" - the food, decorations, etc. :) m Last time we did a cruise, we all met up at the boat fairly early, and the boat took us out cruising on Crescent Lake for about a 1/2 hour before Illuminations. :thumbsup:

Yes, the cruise includes cruising up and down Crescent Lake (to near the Disney's Hollywood Studios entrance) and then to just a teeny bit outside of Epcot's lake.

A tip for the captain is customary; we gave $40.

It was a lot of fun. Expensive, but a neat once-in-a-lifetime experience that I don't feel the need to do again. Go for it!
