Crystal Palace Parade View?

[Irish_Mike]

We have reservations for Crystal Palace at 8:40 and my Mom wants to see the parade during our trip.

So, if we wee to have seats by the windows in the restaurant, would we be able to see the parade as we eat?

We were there about that time on our last trip. You can see it, but it's not the best view. It does not come right by CP, so it's from a distance.

Sorry Crystal Palace is too far back from the route to see any of the parade.

She may see the very tip top of the tallest floats, if you are seated at a window...but that is maybe the top 12inches of the float.
No way you could see enough to say you "seen" the parade.

Best thing is to schedule the adr to be done about 45mins before the parade starts. Then head out to find a spot.

You can see lights but thats it.. you will miss the music and the actual characters on the float. It's too far back from the route and MANY people will be there..... plus if CP is busy there will be alot of people on the porch and you most likely won't see out the window.

we did lunch there last month and one of the quick lil parades came by and while we could kinda see things ok, the bigger prob was the people on the porch getting up and down and walking around to block our view. This parade was not a deal breaker so it was nice to see a bit of it but I would have been frustrated if it was one I really wanted to see
