Anyone know what time the EWP would be in September 2016?? I called Disney and the schedule isn't final yet - anyone venture a guess? The Agent said generally speaking the EWP is one hour before Wishes (coinciding with the Electrical Parade) -- but she said she wasn't sure. Would anyone know, is that how they did it last year? So if 9 pm wishes - 8 pm Electrical Water Pageant??
I am going 9/24 - 10/1 -- and really want to fit this in! Thanks, in advance!
The times are (basically) the same the year-round.

Although Electrical Water Pageant generally follows the schedule below... Inclement weather can cause cancellation of the pageant.
Polynesian Resort -- 9 p.m.
Grand Floridian -- 9:15 p.m.
Wilderness Lodge -- 9:35 p.m.
Fort Wilderness -- 9:45 p.m.
Contemporary Resort -- 10:05 p.m.
Magic Kingdom -- 10:20 p.m. (only during extended MK park hours)
Note that when the Magic Kingdom Fireworks are scheduled for 9 p.m., the Electrical Water Pageant runs about 7-20 minutes later.

Electrical Water Pageant
The words conjure some phantasmagorical display of
dazzling lightning-like high voltage interplay with glittering aquatic delights, no?
Well...
My favorite saying about these kind of "simple" things comes from Hawkeye Pierce on the old
M*A*S*H TV show.
"It's not much, but it's really nothing."
Although I never miss a chance to see it... inappropriate "over-anticipation"
can be built up over the "Electrical Water Pageant".
People seem to be expecting to see "Main Street Electrical Parade on the water", when it is really closer to oversized "Lite Brite" pegs mounted on some barges,
with a "Casio Keyboard" music track.
Don't get me wrong, I still love it, and it's a piece of WDW History, but first-timers, please don't get your hopes set too HIGH.
to posting on the DISboards, JLG!
