Hi Kimberly,
Thank you for your kind words! I highly recommend the Pirates & Pals Fireworks Voyage a party of 5 fun loving gals. You'll have the best view ever of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom. During your visit, Pirates & Pals will be sailing 7 nights a week.
Here is the fireworks schedule at MK during your trip:
11th: Wishes at 10 p.m.
12th: Holiday Wishes at 9:30 p.m.
13th: Wishes 8 p.m.
14th: Holiday Wishes at 9:30 p.m.
15th: Wishes 8 p.m.
16th: Holiday Wishes at 9:30 p.m.
17th: Holiday Wishes at 9:30 p.m.
The Electrical Water Pageant is usually featured every evening. I spoke with a helpful Cast Member who gave me the current schedule:
- Polynesian Resort - 9 p.m. (If the fireworks are scheduled for 9 p.m., the EWP will be in position but will not start until the conclusion of the fireworks - this may delay the rest of the schedule by a few minutes)
- Grand Floridian Resort - 9:15 p.m.
- Wilderness Lodge - 9:35 p.m.
- Fort Wilderness Resort - 9:45 p.m.
- Contemporary Resort / Bay Lake Towers 10:10 p.m. (If the fireworks are scheduled for 10 p.m. the EWP will begin at the conclusion of the fireworks)
- Magic Kingdom 10:20 p.m. (only during extended MK park hours)
This schedule could change as the holiday season approaches. Check with your resort Concierge or Guest Relations to confirm the schedule. Keep in mind that the EWP could be cancelled due to inclement weather.
I hope this helps with your planning. If the timing doesn't work out so you can see the EWP during your voyage, you may be able to hang out at the Contemporary for awhile after you meet your surprise guest after your voyage & watch it from there. Be sure to take a jacket with you as it does get a little chilly on the water in Dec. Wishing you many magical memories :-) Allison
