Yes, if you go down by where the ferry boats dock you can see it

 

[Alesia]

Yes. You can see it from anywhere around the lake.

BUT... They often perform the "MK Show" without the SOUND.
(It can cause confusion for guests trying to board MK transportation.)

So, if you want to see the "full show" (such as it is,) you might have to go to one
of the MK area resorts' marinas or beaches to do so.

--------------------------------


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 "Spectromagic 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.

I do love the parade! It reminds me of a local Christmas on the river boat parade we use to have.
