Electrical Water Pageant

[sueuk]

Can you see the electrical water pageant from Artist Point (or from WL in general). What would be the best time to have dinner in order to see it?

You won't be able to see it from Artist Point (the restaurant is too far from the beach). You can view it from the boat dock or beach and it usually gets to the Wilderness Lodge around 9:35pm.

Also, if the MK fireworks are scheduled for 9, the parade will run anywhere from 10-20 min later. Check with guest relations at the resort if this is the case during your stay.

Thanks, we're actually staying at the BC, but going to Artist Point for a dinner and were hoping to time it right as we've never seen the EWP.

You have to make the time to see it!

It is a little hokey, but in a good Disney way!

Thanks everyone, if we don't see it at WL what is the best other places to see it from? x

Any of the lagoon resorts. FW is probably the best view but can be a dice with bugs. Or the boatfrom the MK if you time it right.

This is one of the reasons I booked rooms at the Poly...it's just a walk away This is on our schedule of things to do our first day there since I am trying to keep it fairly low key that day. Luau for dinner then lounging around the hotel area until pageant time!

Thanks for this info! I've added it to my itinerary!! I am making the assumption it runs every night, weather permitting?

To me its a must do but dont get your hopes up. Its not the technological wonder that wishes or Illuminations is. It is a nice show and there arent the crowds that line up hours in advance. It is however 1970s and 80s start of the art entertainment. You will enjoy it and its really peacefull especially on the boatride back to MK when its over.
