Best spot for viewing evening parades?

[3littlecuties]

What is the best spot for viewing the Electrical Parade and the MNSSHP parade? Our children are little and won't be able to see over people but also won't want to sit still to wait for a very long time. Where do we have the best chance to get a good viewing spot and how early do we need to be there? We are going next week.

Frontierland will be less crowded than Main Street for any parade. This time of year, you may be able to secure a front-row spot as late as 20-30 minutes before. YMMV.

Ditto frontier land, towards Liberty Square. We will never, repeat never ever, spend an hour of our time sitting on a curb waiting for a parade. Always find a spot 15 or 20 minutes out by staying away from Main Street and the hub.

Yup.

Near Hall of Presidents is a good place, too.

A look at the Parade Route
Disney's (MS) Electrical Parade and the 3 O'Clock Parade both start near the Firehouse and exit near Splash Mtn.
MVMCP and MNSSHP Parades both start near Spalsh Mtn. and exit near the Firehouse.
