Any tips on a spot for Wishes at 9, then Spectro at 10? Should I stay in same place or try to move to a different spot for both? (I will have littel ones with me.)

Is Wishes different to the point you need to be at a certain area to enjoy it completely?

Thanks for any tips!
 
I would watch Wishes from Liberty Square, and then quickly walk towards Frontierland to catch Spectro; we did that exact thing but flip-flopped (watched Spectro first); we saw Spectro sitting in front of Pecos Bills and then shuffled to Liberty Square, where NO ONE was, and watched the fireworks. It was great!
 
We went in October and it was a mess! We tried walking towards Main Street from Liberty Square and had to stop at the bridge as everyone was packed in like sardines!

I would suggest hangin out near the Emporium area to get a view of the fireworks. Then grab a seat in front of the Barber Shop and the parade starts right there!!! You can literally walk right up 5 minutes before and get a front row seat!

Hope it works out!
 
Thansk. I was concerned about the new Wishes show. From what i read it seems it woudl eb best to see it looking staright towards the castle?

From Barber shop? Isn't that smack dab in the middle of main street, though? Or are you referring to closer to the fire station where the parade comes out? If it is the second showing it woudl actually be where the end of the show is, though. Correct?

Thsi is confusing. We only ahve tow night there with my parenst and kids the week of christmas and I was trying to fit thsi in.
 

Saw both last week. Originallythought to see them just to right or left of Main St i.e. in front of Casey's or Plaza,but 1 hour before Spectro these spots were filled. Curbside.spots on Main St obviously were gone too.
So we found lots of space in Frontierland near the Saloon/Revue. Afterwards we backtracked behind the castle to the rose garden to see Wishes. Lots of space there. View was great and in my opinion worth it to compromise on the view a little so as not to be pushed and shoved by the crowd.
 
Maybe we shoudl try to get in front of the castle for Wishes at 9 (My littel oen will wnat to see tink.), immediately cross over the bridge and find a space over there for Spectro at 10? If there are teo shoes running that night which way wodul the 10 show be coming from? Anyone?

Thanks!
 
Shan, right on the curb in front of Caseys will be an awesome spot for both, but you would have to get there plenty early. We normally grab some hot dogs from Caseys and sit there and eat them.
