Welcome to planDisney, Rebecca!
One of the things that I love the most about a Walt Disney World Resort vacation is the feeling of nostalgia that so many attractions provide. My father remembers watching the
Electrical Water Pageant when he was growing up. It really is timeless. Did you know that the Electrical Water Pageant was originally supposed to be a limited-time event for the grand opening celebrations 50 years ago? Guests loved it so much that they decided to keep it beyond the opening celebrations.... and, well, here we are.
Rebecca, you will not be permitted to park at a resort unless you have a dining reservation. Personally, I recommend that you make a reservation at either
'Ohana or
Kona Cafe at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. After you dine, head to the
Pineapple Lanai for a Dole Whip while you settle in to watch the Electrical Water Pageant and fireworks from the beach at the resort.
I just know that you will have a magical trip, Rebecca!
See you real soon!
