Mr. Penguin, this was one of the very first WDW attractions to have IP-creep involved. I don’t know the year it changed, but I know when it opened all the music from “The Little Mermaid” wasn’t apart of it.

Any idea on the "showtimes" ?

Peter Pan is absolutely IP. But I can not confirm if this was “original as intended” IP or “shoehorned in” IP since the movie (and the play that “never smile at a crocodile” is from for that matter) are older than the EWP.
Same goes for Whale of a tale from 20,000

The only time I ever saw this was when I waited forever to get onto the riverboat. We were finally about ready to get on the next boat. And then this blame thing started and we had to wait like an extra half hour or so... Dear god I was so tired that night.

We didn't see it until our last trip when we stayed at the Contemporary. It was cool to sit on our balcony and watch this go by.

It’s great if you’re not trying to go back to the hotel after a long day at magic kingdom

This is news I was waiting to hear. We are staying at the Contemp on our upcoming trip and the EWP always helps end our night, watching it light up and give us a performance, with a coffee at the end of the dock. I was dreading that when they stopped running it, that Disney might have just done away with it.

I love the Electrical Water Pageant but this is very surprising news. September 2019, we were watching from the Polynesian and I was thinking "How much longer will they have this?". Too old school and very limited audience.
Personally, I hope it goes on for forever.

I too am very surprised. I really thought they would use the COVID shutdown as a good excuse to just not bring it back ever. Basically, now that it is "out of sight/out of mind" would be a chance to quietly retire it.
It also gives me a little hope that perhaps some other resort centric stuff that could otherwise end might return (e.g. Hoop Dee Doo and Spirit of Aloha).

Seems like you should have gone to Epcot instead of the MK.It’s great if you’re not trying to go back to the hotel after a long day at magic kingdom

Never Smile and Whale of a Tale have been in the Electrical Water Pageant since the 1977 iteration.

Nice try. I'm 41. I've never been a fan of parades or night time shows. I only go to parks to ride attractions

Like others, I am surprised and delighted this is coming back. It’s simple, classic Disney and a delight to just sit and watch.
