What is that parade on the water - and does it still exist?

[C.Ann]

I think I remember hearing it was on the lake where the ferry takes you over to MK..

If it does still exist, how often do they have it (we'll be there the first week of December) and where can it be viewed from?

Thanks!

Yes!!!

It's called the Electrical Water Pageant. It travels nightly on the lake and can be seen (at different times) from the Poly, GF, Contemporary, and I think WL and MK boat dock (not sure about that one). It's a nice, relaxing thing to watch it from one of the resorts on the lake in the evening.

The Electric Light Parade. Dont know much about it but I know they still do it. We saw it from the beach at the camp ground. We also saw it form the boat the takes you to MK from the TTC. So you could probably see it from Poly, GF, and the CR too, I'm not positive though. Sorry I dont know very much about it, I hope this helped though

We'll be in Fort Wilderness the first night of our arrival for dinner at the Trail's End.. Was thinking of doing the Chip 'n Dale campfire, but then I remembered something about this parade.. Anyone know what time it occurs and if it can be seen for sure from the campground?

Thanks!

we saw this once and it was really pretty and makes for a relaxing time. when we saw it, there weren't very many people around (we watched from the boat dock outside MK) and it was very nice.

You can get a FABULOUS view from the dock at Ft. Wilderness. The Parade goes right by the doc and while not close enough to touch things, it is close enough to enjoy quite well.

The Beach will give you a fine view, but, the Dock is the best.

We were on a fireworks (well, technically, moonlight) cruise a few years ago and at one point the boats were pretty much surrounded by the EWP!

Can you tell me how to get to the dock from Trail's End or the campfire? We've never been over to Ft. Wilderness before (staying at Pop, but doing some exploring the day of our arrival)..

You can see it by the bus stops closest to the water when leaving MK as well. Probably not the best view but it is some entertainment while waiting in line for the bus at night!

SURE!

Take a Left Out the Front Door from Trails End. Walk by the Store and you are at the Dock. Its a few hundred feet.

We saw it from the beach at WL itself few years ago, it was fun.

Question: we are doing a WISHES cruise early November, will the elect. parade be visible from there or from Contemporary area, when we return from Wishes cruise? We meet for it at 715 so I suppose it leaves around 730...
