I am going to try my best to reserve a boat as its something i haven't done on previous visits. I understand the boats all line up just before a bridge - do you have a good view, or it more the atmosphere than wins everytime.

You have a fantastic view as well as atmosphere and you don't have to fight the crowds on the way out of the park.

Teabag, I think we will just miss each other by a day. I got an Illuminations cruise for my birthday on the 4th May but I'm guessing that yours is for the 3rd??

It sounds like you are as excited as me :D :D :spin:

Helsbels - yes mine is for the 3rd May, so far i've got Ohanas/Wishes:spin: for the previous night, Cirque du Soleil for the 4th, then H & V Fantasmic for the 5th, then Discovery Cove on the 6th, so i'm doing well! I'm more excited than the children, just like the Disney commerical! Just need to start my diet now :omg:
