Here's what allears has to say about the Electrical Water Pageant:

"The Electrical Water Pageant is a nightly display that makes its circuit around Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake for the Magic Kingdom area resorts."

"The pageant consists of two strings of seven barges, each carrying a 25-foot-tall screen of lights. The pageant features King Triton and creatures from under the sea -- turtles, whales, seahorses, even a sea monster! -- in an aquatic parade set to Disney (including "Under the Sea," and the crocodile's theme song from the film Peter Pan) and other music."

"Flags and Stars -- The pageant concludes with an inspirational salute to America, with Flags and Stars set to a patriotic musical medley of God Bless America, Yankee Doodle, and You're a Grand Old Flag."

"The pageant, composed of fourteen, 40-foot long lighted floats, presents a picture of leaping dolphins, and an array of other sea life, designs and flags. Four outboard motors propel the craft which are mounted with separate lighting generators and an 800-watt sound system."

I saw it when we stayed at the Contemporary 2 years ago. I could watch from our balcony and hear the music that was piped into the resort. It was really neat to see. However, if I weren't staying at one of the resorts on the route, I wouldn't make a special trip to see it. It doesn't start until 9 pm, or sometimes later, depending on the fireworks at MK.
