The Electrical Water Pageant is an electrical light parade that floats through the Seven Seas Lagoon and the nearby Bay Lake. Many guests remember watching it when they were children. The floats depict real sea creatures and mythical ones, too. The musical-style is reminiscent of the Main Street Electrical Parade, but the Electrical Water Pageant utilizes a number of different songs. Also, the pageant has a patriotic ending with glowing American Flags, Stars, and patriotic music. This is a great fun and free activity to enjoy, Plus, you do not have to be staying at the resorts to go and visit the pageant. Taking pictures can be a bit challenging, but are a great addition to any vacation scrapbook!
