Fireworks/parade schedule during holiday season

[Tinkerbell19672]

I know the schedule for December isn't out yet, but does anyone know what the schedule has been like in the past for fireworks and parade? Are fireworks during the week for holiday season or still just on weekends? TIA!

Fireworks along with the snow effect are offered daily, weather and wind permitting.

Disney does have to cancel them on multiple days, but won't know until right before the planned show, or even a few minutes after the scheduled start time.

Wind at higher levels is a big one that cancels the Fireworks.

The Snow effect is often offered as a stand-alone instead. The issue with the Snow is that in reality it is soap (glycerin) bubbles, so if it is raining, they won't offer them, since it would make the walkways slippery.

So it is on the daily schedule, but no guarantee that they will be offered.

Parades can change daily, and rain does effect them, sometimes causing cancellation for safety reasons. They do have a small rain day Cavalcade that they use as a substitute.

I bet december is easier to plan for

does anyone know what the schedule typically looks like for the first week of november? I know the holidays don't officially start until mid november so I am curious what I will see.

Last year is probably not a good example because of all the 60th entertainment. But here's a link to the November 2014 schedule:

Nightly fireworks should start when Holiday Time starts. This year that's 11/10.

Here's the December 2014 schedule. I just googled it.

Thanks, found that too but it doesn't list times for parades or shows, just hours for parks. Or maybe I don't know how to read these calendars

This year may get a little out of hand. With the 60th ending, MS Electical Parade back (sorta), and the Paint the Night parade being brought out on "select days", no one know what's going during the Holiday season. I'm very anxious to see the entertainment schedule for November. But since they can barely get the operation hours out 6 weeks in advance, there's no way we'll see the entertainment for another few weeks.

As stated, Fireworks/Snow will be daily from November 10th through January 8th nightly, weather/wind permitting.

Also very high likelihood of a Christmas Parade daily. Now any additional parade(s) are the big what if, and how they deal with the logistics.

We know that in DCA they won't be able to offer a parade due to the ToT changeover, but the only real Christmas event planned is the World of Color Show. That is a bit of an issue in November due to switchover to Standard Time when the park closes at 8 PM. The schedule will show the show at 8:15 PM, which is correct. What that means is that the park turnstiles are closed (no new guests), and that all ride queues are closed (anyone in line can still ride), but they will those guests to remain in the park and head over to the Paradise Pier area to view the show. Selected shops and food outlets will remain open. After the show, they will ask you to leave DCA directly, but will allow some time for shopping.

Thanks eveyone. Good to know the fireworks are nightly. This will be our first time going in December and excited to see the decorations!
