The Magic of Disney World

Although The Electrical Water Pageant isn’t as elaborate and flashy as most of the other Disneyworld parades, it definately has a charm all its own. The Water Pageant circles around Bay Lake on a nightly basis. The parade consists of fourteen barges carrying 25 foot tall images made up of lights. It begins with King Triton, and then we see lots of sea creatures, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, seahorses, and the ever popular sea monster. (He’s my personal favorite).

This is Disney, so of course the parade is set to music. And what would be more appropriate than “Under the Sea”? And other aquatic songs, such as the crocodile song from Peter Pan.

After the sea creatures pass by, the parade ends with a salute to America: flags and stars set to patriotic music.

Unless you’re staying at one of the hotels on Bay Lake, you’ll have to go a little out of your way to see The Electrical Water Pageant. It’s worth it, though. After all, some of life’s greatest joys belong to the little things.
