Great maps and very helpful. Do you have a map of where the electrical water parade goes. I want to view this and looking for the best spot to view it. Closer the better. Thankyou
No maps needed.
It's not actually a "parade."
The water barges are towed to each presentation location (on the lake behind each MK-area resort) and the show is presented
from (mostly) a stationary position at each resort.
Its just a very short (5-7 minutes) "show" that takes place ON the water.
You can see the Electrical Water Pageant from the beaches or Marinas on the open lake side of any of the MK area resorts.

Although Electrical Water Pageant generally follows the schedule below... Inclement weather can cause cancellation of the pageant.
Polynesian Resort -- 9 p.m.
Grand Floridian -- 9:15 p.m.
Wilderness Lodge -- 9:35 p.m.
Fort Wilderness -- 9:45 p.m.
Contemporary Resort -- 10:05 p.m.
Magic Kingdom -- 10:20 p.m. (only during extended MK park hours)
Note that when the Magic Kingdom Fireworks are scheduled for 9 p.m., the Electrical Water Pageant runs about 7-20 minutes later.

Electrical Water Pageant
The words conjure some phantasmagorical display of
dazzling lightning-like high voltage interplay with glittering aquatic delights, no?
Well...
My favorite saying about these kind of "simple" things comes from Hawkeye Pierce on the old
M*A*S*H TV show.
"It's not much, but it's really nothing."
Although I never miss a chance to see it... inappropriate "over-anticipation"
can be built up over the "Electrical Water Pageant".
People seem to be expecting to see "Main Street Electrical Parade on the water",
when it is really closer to seeing oversized "Lite Brite" pegs mounted on some barges,
with a "Casio Keyboard" music track.
Don't get me wrong, I still love it, and it's a piece of WDW History, but first-timers, please don't get your hopes set too HIGH.
