Electrical Water Pageant

[DMLAINI]

Does anyone have a schedule for the times for the Electrical Water pageant? Also, would it be ok to watch it outside of the Magic Kingdom? Thank you!

Can really ONLY watch outside the park since its on the lagoon. Contemporary, Poly, GF all make good view spots. Or even a transport boat to FW or WL if you time it right. I believe it runs at 10:30 most nights, but someone will correct me if wrong.

You can see the Electrical Water Pageant from the beaches or Marinas on the open lake side of any of the MK area resorts.

Its just a very short (5-7 minutes) "show" that takes place ON the lagoon.

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 seeing 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.

If you want more time with the floats, you can track it around on foot from the Poly to the Grand Floridian on the walkway that runs between the resorts. When my kids were little they really liked to do that.

Can you see "Polynesian Resort -- 9 p.m." from the TTC fireworks viewing location?

Thanks everyone!

What's a good place to watch from Poly now that the lagoon villas are in the way?

What's a good place to watch from Poly now that the lagoon villas are in the way?

From where I've labeled "View MK Fireworks."
Also, from the MK Shuttle Boat Dock.

I'm not sure why, but the music is my favorite part!!

Just FYI, I see the footnote above but just real world experience... when I was at Poly last weekend they ran the EWP at 8:45. The MK fireworks were at 9PM.

Love love love this show!

From the end of the Poly marina is an excellent spot!

Thanks, all! We had traditionally watched from a location much further east. Glad to know that the west side of the beach is still a good option.

I assume that the Luau Cove beach is too far away/off angle to get a good view?

Luau Cove beach will work, too.
