FW and EWP on MVMCP nights

[CheriePenguin]

Does anyone know what time the fireworks are on Christmas party nights at MK? We enjoy watching the fireworks from the Polynesian, and most of the nights we're there will be Christmas party nights.

Also, does a change in fireworks times change the time of the Electrical Water Pageant (my most magical moment of the trip each time!) ? Some sources say it is at a set time past each resort, some say it's after the fireworks, others say it varies.

We'd like to make our reservations for dinner at O'Hana and then go out to the beach to watch the FW and EWP, so I'm trying to figure out which night to schedule before our 90 day ADP window hits!

Does anyone have any experience viewing the EWP on a MVMCP night? I'd really like to know if the times are altered from the typical times (9:00 @ Polynesian), since the fireworks are at a different time (9 or 9:15 or 9:30 FW ?).

I *REALLY* want to see EWP from the Poly beach, preferably after a dinner at O'Hana, and I'm trying to map out our ADR's.

Thanks much for any input!

Does anyone know? I'm interested to find this out too. I think the fireworks are at 9:30 each night of the party, but I don't know about the timing of the Electric Water Pageant.

I realize in some cases it can't be helped, but it sure is annoying when Disney changes their schedules!
You have to try to plan your park days and ADRs 90-180 days out, and deal with missing, late and then changing schedules!

Sorry for the vent - but there were lots of Christmas Party nights at MK, and therefore very few 8:00 Wishes nights. We picked the one that seemed to work best in our week to plan our O'Hana dinner so we could watch the Wishes fireworks and especially the Electrical Water Pageant from the beach afterwards.
Unfortunately, that was Sat., Dec. 5th, which now ends up being the Christmas parade taping day with a 1am closing time and I believe a 10:00 Wishes fireworks show - much too late!

The other 2 8pm Wishes showings won't work very well with the rest of our schedule - lots of other once only things like AK EMH pm - but we might be able to try to catch the EWP on a MVMCP night if we know what time to be ready.

Hopefully once the Christmas parties start someone will be able to report on the actual fireworks AND Electrical Water Pageant times. Thanks much if you can!

Now that the MVMCP dates have begun, has anyone watched the Electrical Water Pageant on a party night? I know now that the fireworks are scheduled for 9:30, but does anyone know what time the EWP comes by the Poly and the Contemporary on party nights?

Thanks so much!

The Electrical Water Pageant is on at 9:00pm on the MVMCP nights, just like any other night in WDW at the Polynesian. The EWP also runs at the Contemporary at it's regular time of 10:05pm.

Thanks so much for your prompt reply!
But I thought the EWP didn't run during the fireworks - but was a little after the fireworks when the fireworks were at 9 or later?

If the MVMCP fireworks are at 9:30, do the 2 then run simultaneously between 9:30 and 10?

It will help us tremendously knowing the approximate time to be on the lookout for the EWP. It is one of my most magical moments/memories at WDW! Maybe we'll be able to catch it our first night after our late Chef Mickey's ADR or another night. I had only counted on being able to see it when Wishes was at 8pm, and our O'Hana dinner was planned for one of those nights - unfortunately now they changed that night to have a 10pm Wishes, which is too late to stick around after an early dinner with 2 little kids.
