Electrical Water Pageant Schedule Changes (Nov. & Dec.)

Thursday, November 05, 2015 | Posted by OTPN Administrator

Charming sea creatures have lighted up the Seven Seas Lagoon every night for more that 40 years through Disney's Electrical Water Pageant. Guests staying at any of the Disney resorts located along the shores of the lagoon (including the nearby Bay Lake) can enjoy a variety of Disney tunes, in the same musical style as the Main Street Electrical Parade. This classic water parade will start 30 minutes earlier on Thursdays and Fridays from November 12 to December 18.

 

Here is the updated schedule that reflect these changes (including the regular performances):

I wonder why they're doing this?

 

It's odd that it's only changed on Thursdays and Fridays.

Very odd.  And apparently it's already confusing some CMs.  I overheard a boat captain tell someone that whenever the fireworks during the party were at 9:30, the EWP would be at 9:15.

 

Um... no.

It could just be some experiment for some unknown reason.

 

The TCD twins have a friend who is currently working an internship in Imagineering.  They do all kinds of whacky stuff for apparently no reason and then survey guests about it.  I guess that keeps them employed.  Tinkering with existing stuff is cheaper than building new stuff.

We love the EWP, but purely in memory of Lou's inolvment:  "Who cares?"

We were told, that it coordinated with the party at the MK.  They nights they have the Christmas Party, those fireworks are earlier (9:30p), so they wanted to run the EWP before that.

That might make sense if the schedule coordinated with the party nights.

 

But, there are Thursdays and Fridays in the time specified in Mo's post above (November 12-December 18) that are not party nights, and there are parties on Sundays and Tuesday nights where the fireworks will be at 9:30, and there hasn't been a change made to the EWP schedule.  But, the end date, December 18, does match up with the last MVMCP.

 

I wonder if they're doing those fireworks ferry cruises on those Thursday and Friday nights?

You mean the overpriced crass commercialism cruises, where you get $5 worth of pastries for $100?
