Block Party Parade viewing

[jmartinez1895]

Is there special viewing area for people in wheelchairs at the HS parade? If so where and if not what is the best location for us to try and get to and how long before it starts should we line up? We will be there April 22. Thanks for your help and input.

I know there is one special viewing area near Sounds Dangerous.

However, in my opinion there is no good place to see Block Party Bash anywhere. Basically the parade is in five stages.

1. Comes onstage near Guest Relations, goes up Hollywood Blvd.

2. Stops on HB and there is a performace for about ten minutes or so. You can really only see the part of the performance that is close to you.

3. Moves up to near Sounds Dangerous, with the tail end near the Sorcerer's Hat.

4. Stops again and there is a performace for about ten minutes or so. You can really only see the part of the performance that is close to you.

5. Goes off-stage at the Jedi Training Academy.

Yes, you can see the entire parade, but you can only see the entertainment portion that is closest to you.

And I know there are other special wheelchair reserved locations along the route; it is just wheneveer I am on parade crowd control I am near Sounds Dangerous.

Thanks for that information. That helps us out alot. I don't mind missing the show part as long as our son gets to see the characters.

Also, check out the wheelchair viewing spots ahead of time to see whether or not they are in the sun. Many of the ones at HS are and if that is the case, you may be better off just finding a spot outside of the wheelchair viewing spots. That's what we usually do at that park.
