Let me preface this question by saying, I'm working with my adopted sons on being "scaredy cats", but they've only been in our care for about a month and a half ......
Anyways. One of my sons is afraid of loud fireworks. I haven't witnessed this first-hand, but the foster parents that had him before us said he was. We're going on our first trip as a complete family (went from me, wife, DD13, and DD10 to adding DS3, DS5, DS6, DS8) in May. One of the days there we want to see the parade and fireworks at MK and another day, we plan to see Illuminations (actually the only night time show we haven't seen yet despite 20+ trips to WDW ).
What are some of the best spots to see the fireworks/parade at MK and Illuminations without it being so loud or is there such a place? I was thinking for the MK, maybe trying to get a spot down by the train station at the front gate. Is that a good spot? If so, how early would I need to get there? It'll be a party of 10 so we'll take up one side of Main Street.
