Parades, Fantillusion, Tree & Castle Lighting !!

Arriving on Thurs 10th Dec and trying to work out seeing the above -
looks like a crazy dash from one end main street to the other to see these things in order on the programme :cool1:
Any advice??

ta,

Midweek, I think you'll be absolutely fine to see everything :goodvibes. OUAD was at 5pm last week, it lasts about 20 minutes, so then you've still got a good half hour before you need to be in position for the tree lighting at 6pm. Thats just a little show, only lasts about 10 minutes (if that), then the castle lighting Mickeys Magical Party time at 6.25pm, up at the hub. Midweek, honestly, the parks were so quiet (and so hopefully for you too) that you could stroll into a great spot for any of these, plus Fantillusion, only about 10 minutes or so before the start.

Castle lighting again is only about 15 minutes long, and Fantillusion doesn't start until 7.10 or even later (we left the park on our last day, Wednesday, at 7.15, and Fantillusion hadn't begun then).

We split it up though - first full day we watched OUAD, then went for some rides between 5.20 and 6.15 (so purposely missed the tree lighting) then watched the castle lighting and Fantillusion. Next night, we watched just the tree-lighting and then left the park early to go to Cafe Mickey.

I'd suggest you try and do all of these on your midweek evenings, because if you wait until the weekend to see them, you will be hanging around Main St more, as you'll have to stake out your spot to see them all a lot earlier.

Thanks so much!!
Arriving late Thurs night, so be Fri before we get to see them.
Will probably do the split routine - working out food in the middle of it all is the other problem as our 6 year old always wants to go to Cafe Mickey :banana:

Thanks again:goodvibes
