Electric Floating Parade

[Tandyc]

Is there a schedule for this somewhere? Where does it take place? How long is it? I need all the info please. Hoping to coordinate it with our Wishes cruise.

Thanks so very much!

The water pageant takes place each night after the Wishes fireworks. It stops by the GF, Poly, WL, FW, and CR. It lasts about 10 minutes or so.

When we did a Wishes cruise as part of a Grand Gathering, we got to see the water pageant before Wishes - they took us to a spot where we could see it.

Would this be the sea serpent etc that I saw when leaving MK one night?

Does it still occur if Wishes isn't scheduled?

TIA

It occurs every single night of the year (except for a HURRICANE or other disaster) and has for decades.

I will say that it is not very "special" or "high-tech" (quite the opposite) so don't get your hopes up and expect too much.

But it IS a TRADITION (and its kind of cute and "quaint") so if you happen to see it, it will be NICE.

We always take a look, but we've been around since it WAS considered "high-tech".

Yep, that's it.

As "Hawkeye Pierce" once said on M*A*S*H...
"It's not much, but its really nothing."

Wow! This is great. We are seeing Wishes at 10 will the Electric Water Parade be before or after?

Thanks so much for all your info and help

You can't see the "full show" from MK.
They intentionally do not play the music as it passes the MK boat docks area.

If you want to see the water pageant, as it is "intended" (complete with music) you need to see it from one of the resorts (Poly, Grand FL. Wilderness Lodge, or Ft. Wilderness).

The schedule for the shows as they pass each resort can be found at the resorts.

All that said, I want to make sure you understand that this is a very small, simple, basic, old-school, short, "cute" show...
I keep stressing this as it would be very easy to work up too much anticipation for this little show, and be disappointed after seeing it.

If you've ever seen the lighted-outline Christmas figures in a rather nice home lawn display... then imagine them placed on a barge, and you'll understand the kind of thing that this "pageant" is made of.

I like the show, but its worth about what it costs to see it.

We were on the Wishes Cruise from the GF in December, and we stopped in the boat on the way back to watch the Parade. Front row seats!

This is a very cute show and I make it a habit to see it at least once every time I go. It is in front of the hotels usally Poly-9:15,GF-9:30,FW/WL-9:45:CR-10:00 My time might be off a little but you can check at your hotel they have a sch. It is posted here on the board somewhere I know.
