Electrical Water Pagent

[ConnecticutNonna]

Sorry if this is in wrong thread. MDE shows that the Electrical pageant is on for December 18. We are hoping to check out the pageant that night... However I can't seem to find where it begins and ends and where to watch it from. MDE has a list of times beginning with 8:30 pm and ending at 10 pm. ??? Very confused... Can someone help? We are staying at CBR and have a car. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TIA!
Nonna

Its not this grand thing you think it is. Personally it is not something I would specifically seek out, but it is easy to spot if you want to watch it. It goes around to all of the resorts near the magic kingdom. It usually starts at 9.

• Disney's Polynesian Village Resort – Beginning at 9:00 PM
• Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (including Narcoossee's) – Beginning at 9:15 PM
• Disney’s Wilderness Lodge – Beginning at 9:30 PM
• Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground – Beginning at 9:45 PM
• Disney’s Contemporary Resort – Beginning at 10:10 PM; in instances when Wishes Nighttime Spectacular takes place at 10:00 PM, the Electrical Water Pageant will begin shortly following its conclusion
• Right outside the entrance of Magic Kingdom park – Beginning at 10:35 PM, during Extended Theme Park Hours only

I recommend Fort Wilderness if Wishes is at 10. It's the perfect evening on the beach, you can watch the EWP, then Wishes starts right after. They pipe in the music and you see all the sky fireworks.

Dinner at Trail's End before, or even earlier going to the Chip and Dale show/campfire and movie would make a nice evening.

We always enjoy it, but it isn't as grand as MSEP or the fireworks. We usually just happen to catch it, because we stayed or ate at one of the hotels.

We watched the water parade & wishes fire works from the Grand Floridian. You could book a dinner there and go watch the outside show? 1900 Park Fare was a fun place for us to eat dinner.

There was an announcement last week that the times were being moved up in December with the first viewing starting at 8:30 instead of 9:00pm. Sorry I don't have the link handy. Perhaps a search on these boards will provide a reference.

We love this and usually watch from the beach at the Poly after an 'Ohana dinner.

Years ago we spent our arrival evening at Hoop De Doo then when we got out we went down to the beach/dock area and saw the EWP then Wishes. It was a great start to a great week!

Omgoodness!!! Thank you all! So clear, I didn't quite get how Disney explained it. This is perfect!

It's cute if you happen to stumble on it - we have seen it several times - once on a boat going to Ft Wilderness.
