And because it's Monday, I wish to create a small list of complaints.
1. I had to work late AGAIN tonight due to a conference call. Ugh.
2. I didn't even get a chance to eat lunch today because I was so busy.
3. I have a headache. Probably because of #2.
4. RSD Sucks. My legs are KILLING me. I was dumb and went bowling yesterday which apparently uses your leg muscles A LOT more than I thought.
5. My feet are cold.
6. My meds suck.
Sorry for that. I'll turn to a more exciting subject now: Disney. (If you're surprised you are definitely in the wrong blog.)
Tonight's subject: The Electrical Water Pageant. Many WDW guests don't even know about this. It takes place nightly in the Seven Seas Lagoon right outside of the Magic Kingdom. The 8 minute show makes it's way around the lagoon so that each resort gets a great view. The times are as follows:
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)
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)
Though these times remain pretty constant, it's best to check your resort first. If you're staying outside of the Magic Kingdom area, consider coming over to watch one night if you're already planning on being at the Magic Kingdom. If you're dining at the resorts listed above, stay a few moments longer to catch this show. Since it's inception in October of 1971 (the same year the Magic Kingdom opened it's gates to guests) this quaint show has been out, every night, as the little known bit of pageantry on the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Cute, right? Fans of the Main Street Electrical Parade are sure to enjoy it!
As an aside, the Main Street Electrical Parade, or MSEP as it's known to Disney board users, was the parade that was around when I was knee high to a grasshopper. While my family didn't usually stick around that late at night when I was younger since I was usually tuckered out by then, there were a few times we stayed for it. It has a kind of nostalgic feel to it, but I'll be honest with you, I miss Spectromagic. I was really freaked out by the Spectromen since they looked way too much like clowns for my taste, but in general, I really enjoyed it. I was really excited to see MSEP come back, buuuuut it can go away now. ;)
Hope everyone enjoyed tonight's little tidbit. Let's hope Tuesday goes better than Monday. Have a magical evening, everyone!
We actually caught part of that one night! We had no idea what we were watching, but it was fun. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too! It's one of those things that I thought was going on for the Year of a Million Dreams or something, but I kept seeing it, so I finally figure out what it was! It's just another cute Disney touch they add in. It's not long, or even super spectacular, but it's that added bit of pixie dust when you're waiting for Wishes :).
ReplyDeleteMandy, about MSEP, you definitely aren't alone in wanting Spectro back amongst cast down here. Spectro became classic Disney, and was a great parade overall. When they brought MSEP for the summer, it was a huge hit amongst guests and the cast (so long as it only stayed three months, HA!). Now that it's extended indefinitely, the parade is still a huge hit amongst guests because ALOT of people love it, but the cast (especially entertainment from what I understands) would love to see Spectro come back for sure. But alas, we're stuck with it for at least a few years until Disneyland is done with their construction and can actually hold a parade again.
ReplyDeleteElijah- I can see that. I feel like there's a lot more human interaction during Spectro whereas MSEP is mostly lighted floats. The dang music also gets stuck in your head. Forever. I was looking forward to getting to see Spectro in January, but when I went to check the schedules, it made me a little sad to see that MSEP was on every page. Boo. I didn't know that it's return hinged on Disneyland though. Veeeery interesting!
