I'm going to MAKE DH watch the parades with me this year and I would like to know where you think the ABSOLUTE BEST places are to watch each and every one of them! I'm going to print this thread up before our July trip and use it. Thanks in advance!
SpectroMagic starts at Town Square and exits at the end of Frontierland.
The other parades go the opposite direction.
Here's a look at the MK Parade Route.
WISHES
Below is a rough estimate of the Fireworks viewing spots
based on other posters' info on the boards and personal experience.

ILLUMINATIONS
There are so many places to view IllumiNations at Epcot's World Showcase that are wonderful in their own way that its futile to try to list them, so I will.
Some great ones have been recommended in the earlier posts.
Those and a few more are listed below-
• Bridge between UK and France
• Near the twin gift shops at the entrance to WS from FW
• Norway area
• Upper level (outside front terrace) of the Matsu No Ma Lounge in Japan
• Italy, near the Gondolas
• Mexico, at the oudoor Cantina
• Mexico, bridge to the right of oudoor Cantina (as you face the lagoon.)
• UK, the Rose & Crown outdoor dining area (ressies required.)
• UK, just to the left of the Rose & Crown (as you face the lagoon.)
• Many, many more great spots.
Best Tip:
Don't stand down-wind of the fireworks.
Their SMOKE will ruin the show.
So, If the wind is blowing into your face as you look towards the Lagoon, you are in the wrong spot.

Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade - DAK
Parade starts and ends in Harambe village (Africa.) Many like to sit in the open seating area of the Dawa Bar and watch the show.
There are really many other good spots along the giant loop around Dicovery Island/Tree of Life area.

Many like to find a spot in the central area in front of the giant Sorcerer's Hat.
