Grand 1 Yacht Fireworks Cruise | Review 2

Disclaimer: This experience was provided in order to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed about the Grand 1 Yacht in this post are entirely my own.

My Experience watching Happily Ever After aboard the Grand 1 Yacht

Last week, I was fortunate enough to be invited to experience a viewing of Happily Ever After, the fireworks spectacular at Magic Kingdom Park, aboard the Grand 1 Yacht!

To say I was excited to experience this is an understatement. This was a long time “Disney Bucket List” item that I was excited to cross off!

Friends, it was such a treat! The view and experience were just as special as I imagined they would be.

I never get tired of watching Magic Kingdom Park fireworks. In fact, my home has fireworks view. Yet, I enjoyed this fireworks cruise so much that I cried. Yes, I cried!

I get asked the same thing all the time, “Do you get tired of the fireworks?”

The answer is always the same, “No! I love them!” No matter how many times I see them, I always find something new.

The audio of Happily Ever After plays on the yacht’s onboard speakers as you watch the fireworks — you won’t miss a single sound!

You are encouraged to relax under the illuminated skies while enjoying the show. You will find snacks, sodas, and water aboard the yacht if you don’t book private dining.

Even for a person like me who has watched the fireworks hundreds of times, this vantage point offered an entirely new experience! I love experiencing “new” things at Walt Disney World Resort.

“There’s really no secret about our approach. We keep moving forward—opening up new doors and doing new things—because we’re curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We’re always exploring and experimenting. At WED, we call it Imagineering—the blending of creative imagination with technical know-how.” -Walt Disney

Specialty Cruises at Walt Disney World Resort

Did you know? Walt Disney World offers multiple boating options, marinas and unique experiences for specialty cruises .

Options include the Grand 1 Yacht, 21-foot pontoons, and 25-foot boats. They offer everything from dessert fireworks cruises to celebration cruises!

The celebration cruises can be decorated for birthdays, anniversaries and other special events!

The Grand 1 Yacht is the most opulent option at Walt Disney World Resort. It is a 52-foot Sea Ray® Sedan Bridge Yacht. At the present time, it is the only yacht available as one of the Walt Disney World Resort specialty cruises.

Your experience aboard the Grand 1 includes an experienced captain and deckhand at the helm. Guests can enjoy private dining and butler amenities in a spectacular setting. This spacious watercraft accommodates a total of 18 people—or 17 if traveling with a butler.

Our captain, Todd, was amazing! If you sail aboard this yacht, make sure to talk to him. He has many great stories and anecdotes that he loves sharing with Guests.

Todd is also incredibly knowledgeable about the vessel itself and has special “tidbits” to share about the price of the yacht ($1,000,000+), its purchase, and its features.

The night that I visited, it was very cold. The deckhand offered us warm blankets to use during the show and while we explored Bay Lake. I loved this attention to detail!

Our group boarded the Grand 1 Yacht at 6:45 p.m. for a 7:00-9:00 p.m. sailing around Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon. This allowed us ample time to talk, enjoy the unique views Todd shared with us, and indulge in some snacks. Todd even took us to see the progress on what used to be Disney’s Discovery Island!

Pricing and Additional Features

Pricing for the Grand 1 Yacht begins at $399 per hour, plus tax for daytime cruises and $799 per hour, plus tax for evening and Fireworks cruises.

This beautiful yacht has 3 staterooms and 2 bathrooms . Yes, it is possible to rent the Grand 1 Yacht for an entire night if you and your family or friends wish to do so!

It is also outfitted with a working kitchen, a large flat-screen television, sitting areas, a “dining” area, an outdoor deck, and so much more!

Overall, this is a great experience for those looking to treat themselves to a unique and special experience during their visit to Walt Disney World.

I think it’d make a great birthday, graduation, anniversary or vow renewal celebration! In fact, the Cast Members told us that they often host wedding receptions on the Grand 1 Yacht — so awesome!

Interested in booking the Grand 1 Yacht for yourself? You can do so by dialing (407) WDW-PLAY or (407) 939-7529.

You can read AllEars.Net reader reviews of this cruise, or leave your own review, HERE.

Albatross Treasure Cruise: The Bayside Marina near the Yacht Club offers this cruise for children ages 4-12. Children will wear bandannas as they follow clues and sail to many exotic “ports of call” around Crescent Lake and Epcot looking for treasure. During the voyage, children will hear a reading of “The Legend of the Albatross.” At the final port of call, children will have a snack and a drink, and will split up the “buried treasure.” Held every day (weather permitting) from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Children must be potty trained — no pull-ups. Price is $39 – $49 plus tax per child. Reservations are recommended. A credit card guarantee is required, and there is a 24-hour cancellation policy.

Islands of the Caribbean Pirate Adventure: Departs from the Caribbean Beach Resort’s Caribbean Cay. For children ages 4-12 (must be potty trained). Young adventurers, wearing pirate bandannas, will board a boat to sail the Ports of the Caribbean, just like Captain Jack! They will be told the story of Old Port Royale and of the pirates that used to sail the waters. They will find props and signs leading to treasure. Once they recover the treasure, they will sail to Fort Cay. When they return to Old Port Royale, they will unlock the treasure chest and bounty will be shared by all, as they have a snack and a drink. Held every day (weather permitting) from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Price is $39 – $49 plus tax per child. Call 407-WDW-PLAY / (407) 939-7529 for reservations.

We just did a wishes cruise at Christmas and we had to meet at the dock at the Wilderness at 8:15pm. We got off the yacht around 10pm.  

JoJo1980 said: I was just wondering for those who have used the yacht before, especially for a wishes cruise - were you able to be picked up & dropped off at the wilderness lodge or will it only do it from the Grand Floridian? Click to expand...

What time do people normally hire it for a wishes cruise - is 8.30 til 9.30 ok if the fireworks are at 9?? or would you do 8.45 til 9.45?? do they give you options or are the times set? Click to expand...

JoJo1980 said: Thankyou so much for your replies! I'm so happy now thinking there may be a chance we can get picked up from the WL - thats where we got engaged so I really wanted some photos there too I will definately give them a call and find out properly - do you know how many days in advance you can book? Click to expand...

Maddiesmum03

we booked the grand one a couple of weeks ago for our wedding in may and we were asked if we wanted it for one hour or one and a half hours. DF was all set to say, oh we might as well have it for the one and a half hours, until I reminded him it's $400+ PER HOUR!!!!!  

JoJo1980 said: I will definately give them a call and find out properly - do you know how many days in advance you can book? Click to expand...

Yes, the yacht can pick up at different locations. We celebrated our anniversary in Oct and we were picked up at the Contemporary after dinner at the California Grill. Just be specific that you want it for one hour only. We got billed for two. Now we did have it for 2 hours but we had an issue and the captain said he would give us a little extra time because of this so we assumed that was why we kept sailing around the lagoon lol! We had to tell them we wanted to wrap it up! When my fiance checked the credit card statement a few weeks later we had a bill for over 1k and at that point it was too late to argue it. We didn't mind, it was just the principal of the matter.  

Mermaid_Ariel

Flippin' my fins.

Here's what I'm confused about. According to ADR calculator, my 90-day mark for 12-12-08 is 9-13-08. Am I doing the math wrong or shouldn't it be 9-12-08 for me to call? Here's a link to the ADR calculator I'm referencing. Hopefully, I'm allowed to post it. http://pscalculator.net/allearsnet/pscalcae.php
