Disney's Electrical Water Pageant

Disney's Electrical Water Pageant is a show that takes place every evening, weather permitting, in Walt Disney World's Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake featuring lighted images of sea creatures. Floats include King Triton, a whale, an octopus, a crocodile, dolphins, a sea serpent and a turtle. At the finale, the floats all turn into flags and stars for a patriotic finish.

We didn't get a chance to see this one when we was down in Walt Disney World in June. I don't remember ever watching the whole thing play out. I remember seeing a few images on the water when I was little but I can't recall any music being played. However, from watching this video below, it looks like I missed out on a short and sweet water pageant. Take a look.

SpectroMagic

SpectroMagic at the Magic Kingdom theme park is a nighttime parade of floats with about a half million dazzling lights and miles of fiber optics cables. Many of the floats are filled with sparkling lit up Disney characters.

You will absolutely love the awesome lights and the music is just fitting as it celebrates multiple scenes from Disney films narrated by Jiminy Cricket.

SpectroMagic begins each night showing at two times during selected months. The first one is at 9:00 and the second is at 11:00. Be sure to find a spot maybe about a half an hour before the show to get a good view. We had a decent view of the parade from outside of the Hall of Presidents. The music in this parade will stick with you for quite awhile. Me and my family hummed and sang the song long after the parade was over.

My recommendation is to not miss this one. SpectroMagic has replaced the Main Street Electrical Parade which was very good. Sad to see it go but this is an amazing substitute. Anyways, check it out below and leave a comment if you wish.

The Wishes Fireworks Spectacular at Magic Kingdom

The Wishes Fireworks Spectacular at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is one of the highlights of the night. You watch and listen as Jiminy Cricket narrates this excellent light show of making wishes come true. Classic Disney songs and character voices are used during the presentation while you're mesmerized by fireworks. Into about 2 minutes of the show, a stunt girl playing Tinkerbell appears at the top of the castle and looks as though she is flying from the castle high above your heads and ending up disappearing somewhere over Tomorrowland. My 6 year old daughter could not stop talking about it. She had no idea who Tinkerbell really was until she saw this stunt which is pulled off every night at the Magic Kingdom. Now she has to have Tinkerbell everything. I think we spoiled her.

The show starts at 10:00 PM and is approximately 12 minutes long. My recommendation is to find a good location about an hour before the show begins so you can get a clear view of everything happening. One of the best top spots we found in my opinion is at the end of Main Street, walk to the right and sit down at one of the outdoor tables directly in front of the Plaza restaurant. Great view from here. And one night we were late for the fireworks due to my daughter, my wife and my mom who all went to wait for the Dumbo ride in Fantasyland. Me and my dad waited in front of the Pinocchio Village Haus restaurant next to the carousel. Shortly after they returned from their ride, we sat, waited and watched as all the fireworks seemed to blast off all around us which was really cool. The downside to this area is that you cannot see Tinkerbell fly down from the top of the castle. Disappointing if your little ones are looking for her and don't see her.

If you have kids, or you are a big kid yourself, you don't want to miss this one. It's a great get together with the whole family and/or friends alike.
