Electrical Water Pagent questions

[julesann]

I just read that the Electrical Water Pagent is on. This is all new to me and I have a few questions.
1-I only found that out by reading it here--I don't see it listed under Entertainment. Where do I find it (and other entertainments) listed?
2-If the parks are closed by 7 at the latest and it runs 8-10--is it only for people who are eating at a resort or are staying on property?
3-how do you view it and where can I get information about its route?
4-and what is it exactly?
Thank you--all these newbie questions.

It runs in the evening (hours vary) and stops at the Poly, Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Ft. Wilderness, Contemporary, and depending on how late the park is open, MK.
While its fun to see, its not worth a special effort to see it.

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.
