Contemporary Resort -- 10:05 p.m.

hours)

here is some more info and pics from allearsnet.com. It is a great show and something that most visitors don't bother to stop and watch.

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.

"Its not much, but its 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 "Spectromagic on the water", when it is really closer to 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.

The water pageant is a light and music show on a series of rafts it is shown at the Magic Kingdom area resort most evening starting 9ish. They tow the rafts from resort to resort in the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay lake. I usually ask at the front desk when it will occur.

I gotta agree with Robo - but we HAVE to see it every trip - we love it!

Use it as an excuse to head over to the Polynesian, hang out and relax on the beach for a bit, and catch the water parade. We usually make a "night of it" and have dinner at the Kona Grill first.
