Some great news.

I am also almost (key word) certain the EWP page on Disney's website has been recently changed as well. The page used to have more language about show times that conflict with HEA. Also missing is it's normal stop in front of the MK.

Actually upon review of the cached version I'm not totally crazy. New version:

It’s resuming on 12/20. No word on whether it’s just for the remainder of December or if it will continue into January. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them just do this for the end of the month and then stop again.

Thank you thank you thank you I'm psyched!

Somehow we always miss this and we've never stayed at the Poly. Looks good that we might do both for the first time on Jan 8. Hope so.

Nevermind. It shows on the schedule through February. So looks like a permanent return!

So far a bunch of things have returned in time for our trip. Hoppers was the biggest. Next I'm waiting to hear if EP monorail may return.

A really long odds wish is some type of return to fireworks beyond the current bursts. Yesterday's announcement about testing tonight around MK made me wonder if they're toying with the idea of using perimeter or some kind of display that doesn't draw all the crowds into the hub. That would be a WDW Christmas Miracle and they'll name the new show Wishes Fulfilled.

So, question. We've seen it from CR, obviously. Can you see it from BLT tho? (We are in a lake view room)

 

[Heather07438]

According to this board, yes:

Funny, it was never a priority, but now it's the little things that get us excited.

Blasphemy! EWP is always a priority!

The only photo I personally have is from CR below. I'm not familiar enough with the lake view room categories at BLT to know for sure, but as long as you're not blocked by part of the "C" I would think this is pretty visible. Maybe? It's relatively far out there, very close to that island.

Thanks for the info/pic. (Your pic makes me miss CR, and I was just there a week ago)

I don't think my grandkids have seen the EWP, so we are excited for it in March!

This is excellent news!

BTW, I don’t l know who Jimmy is, but he’s my new favorite CM.

The fact that Disney took the time/effort to make this video and bring EWP back is a small, but nice touch, in my humble opinion.

I was genuinely scared that this might be a long-term casualty of Covid-19, so I'm thrilled to see it returning!

Lake view at blt can either be the inside or outside of C. The inside C rooms are odd numbered and would have the view shown by Gadisneydad . However there are large windows on every floor facing the pool/lake where you can watch. If you want to hear it you can always go outside.

Also missing is it's normal stop in front of the MK.

Historically the EWP stopped at the MK when MK was open for Extended hours or had 9 PM Fireworks. It either stopped on the way to the Bay lake loop or for Extendes hours as it made it's way back to the canal parking spot after returning from the Bay lake loop.

I was genuinely scared that this might be a long-term casualty of Covid-19, so I'm thrilled to see it returning!

One key factor for the EWP was that it's path into the Seven Seas Lagoon was blocked during the new bridge (swing bridge) work over the canal where it parks. It makes sense that it can now return after the walkway is complete between the GF and he MK.

How nice is it to see EWP moved to this page of Disney’s resort reopening information. Love it.

I've never seen this, so I'm excited. The last day of our trip is Christmas Day and we're at MK. We'll definitely make plans to catch this.

I'm secretly holding out hope that Disney surprises us with fireworks of some kind that night too, but I'm not holding my breath. I bet New Year's Eve would be more likely.
