| Magical Fireworks Voyage |
((NEW - MFC IS NOW OPEN TO EVERYONE!!!)) This Grand Gathering event begins with cookies, snacks and beverages before you "set sail" on your magical voyage where you'll have prime viewing of the
Magic Kingdom's "Wishes" and "Electrical Water Pageant."
Before you board, none other than Captain Hook and his hapless first-mate Mr. Smee arrive for some mayhem and photos. Your host for the night is "Patch" a pirate of dubious distinction. As you sail along the Seven Seas Lagoon, Patch will have you singing along and challenge you to some Disney Trivia.
Your "ship will set anchor" at the perfect spot overlooking the Magic Kingdom to view "Wishes". From there you return to the pier while Patch regales you with the story of Peter Pan. When you arrive, you'll see that none other than Peter himself is there to greet you.
As with all Grand Gatherings experiences, birthdays and special occasions will be noted.
