A glimpse of the Electrical Water Pageant at Disney World over the years

Throughout the years, the Electrical Water Pageant has always been a favorite feature since the opening of Walt Disney World.

The nautical feature was born when Disney Legend Bob Jani, the Vice President of Disney Live Entertainment at the time, envisioned what he could do with the pitch-black skies of Bay Lake since it has no city lights or horizon due to the vast expanse and remoteness of the new property.

In a test, Bob’s team lighted a large mock-up of a whale over the water. It was the spark that started it all and eventually became the starting roots not only for the Electrical Water Pageant but also serve as an inspiration for The Main Street Electrical Parade at Disneyland Park less than a year later.

The Electrical Water Pageant is a one-of-a-kind, new show that became a massive hit and continues to amaze guests today. If you were able to enjoy the show 50 years ago, you might recall the custom version of “Baroque Hoedown” which is a song that would later make its appearance in the soundtracks of various nighttime offerings at Disney parks all over the globe. At present, you might be able to catch tunes from classics such as “The Little Mermaid,” “Pete’s Dragon” and “Peter Pan” along with some of the favorite patriotic melodies.
