This bright and fun floating nighttime parade sets sail across the Seven Seas Lagoon. It lasts 15 minutes and viewers listen to classic Disney tunes.

Per Disney: The procession includes a stirring and inspirational medley of patriotic songs while stars and stripes float along the shimmering water.

Guests see and hear an enchanting and twinkling green sea monster leading the parade.

Unfortunately, guests staying at Seven Seas Lagoon Resorts and others cannot currently experience this wonderful nighttime parade. Disney announced in June that the Electric Water Pageant would not be happening at reopening. Since then, it remains unavailable, per Disney.

Hopes of Pageant Returning Soon
