First night at Ohana - question

[aprilzw]

We almost always go to Ohana on our first night - with the view of the castle it always makes us feel 'magical' and realize we're at Disney (since we don't usually go to a park the first day). Then we get on the monorail and go around to the different resorts. But I think this may be the first time that we are arriving on a day when there's no fireworks at the MK. Can anyone tell me (I can't recall) if the castle is all lit up even on non-firework evenings? I'm thinking it must be, but just wanted to check.

Yes, the Castle will be illuminated. You will still have a beautiful view, even with the park being closed.

If you time it right you will also see the Electric Water Pageant.

 

[aprilzw]

when is the electric water pageant? And do they have it every night or just when there is also fireworks?

 

[disnygrl00]

They do it every night, weather permitting.
Not sure on the exact time. I think it depends on when it gets dark.
It goes by the Poly, GF, CR and WL.
I would check with the resort to see if they know the schedule.

This is usually the schedule for the EWP:

Polynesian Resort -- 9:00pm
Grand Floridian -- 9:15pm
Wilderness Lodge -- 9:35pm
Fort Wilderness -- 9:45pm
Contemporary Resort -- 10:05pm

I love watching the Castle change colors from the dinner table at 'Ohana's!

Have fun!
