Walt Disney World’s Electrical Water Pageant is appearing a little different after dark, with cooler-looking white lights and more saturated blues visible on several of its familiar floats.
BlogMickey compared recent photos of the nightly water parade with images from previous years and reported the shift on the alligator, dinosaur, King Neptune and patriotic finale. Disney has not announced a lighting update or confirmed what caused the apparent change.
On the alligator, the teeth and ring around its red eye now appear bright white rather than warm yellow. In the patriotic finale, the flag stripes appear cooler white, while the blue fields look deeper. The white and blue stars between the flags also appear cooler and more saturated, respectively.
King Neptune’s blue lighting looks richer in the newer images, while his crown and the seahorses at the end of his reins appear more amber than pale yellow. The dinosaur’s green body appears largely unchanged, but its yellow outline seems to have shifted toward orange and its blue eye stands out more.

The pageant has traveled past Magic Kingdom-area resorts since October 1971. Its float shapes remain familiar, and it is not clear whether the apparent lighting change applies to every float. Guests can view it from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.
