a parade question...

Where would be a good place to watch the Celebrate! parade? I understand it stops and performs at several places. Is there a map or some other resource that shows where along the parade route the stops are?

I would say the hub close to Plaza Inn and Plaza Pavillion area, Fantasyland right next to IASW, SBC and the teacups, and around the Emporium.

I think they stop three times during the parade.

When I watch Celebrate! a Street parade, we watched it right next to the hub on the right side of the Tomorrowland entrance. We were right in the middle of the parade area.

Ideal spots:

1. In front of Emporium
2. In front of the rockets at the entrance to Tomorrowland
3. Just prior to it's a small world in the open area

There are 3 show stops. The show is performed in its entirety at each stop.

ETA: mvf-m11c beat me to it. Apparently talking on the phone slows down one's posting ability.

Agree with PP's about locations, and yes, the stops are marked on the map.

We sat very close to IASW for the 3:30 parade. It was a great spot b/c that was the beginning of the parade, so we were able to move on to other things as soon as we saw the parade. Main street is the end of the parade for the daytime one.

I work the Celebrate show and I do say that IASW is probably the best crowd-wise. As both shows at 3:30 and 6:30 are never usually too bad. Main Street will get flooded and packed, same with the Hub and the Hub has no shade. So Small world easily wins this one.

We watch CELEBRATE! almost every time we go. My nephew is in it so if he's working we watch it! We pick our location based on where he performs. We saw it last Tuesday in front of IASW. It was a great location and not nearly as crowded as MS. We saw the 3:30 show. We were on the East side of the street, facing IASW. He is in the last section of the show.

Luckily we were able to get a spot with some shade. The first time we saw it (premiered in May 09) we waited almost 2 hours in the hot sun! I won't wait for any ride that long but I will for him.

We love this parade. The 15 min. performance is high energy and guests can even participate. They made a few changes to the show this year making it even better.

Have fun!
