Disneyland parade ADA viewing area

[misskari]

Hello - I am wondering if you know where the ADA viewing areas are for the DL parades? Our #1 goal is to see Paint the Night with my kiddo in a w/c.

1. Where are the spots?
2. Will the rest of our party be able to join her in the area (5 others)
3. Do you have to get there super early? (our goal is 8:45 show)

Thanks so much for any tips!

I was there the first weekend of Paint the Night with my mom in a wheelchair. We got our spot about 6:30 or so. The ADA location that I saw was near the end of the Main Street route in front of one of the stores (sorry can't think of which one). It is right before the parade heads backstage. I think we might have been able to get a spot there at 6:30, but there were already quite a few mobility devices there. We actually ended up kind of across from there in front of the hat store. I sat on the curb (family that got there literally just before us invited me to sit with them since they had room) and my mom was right behind them. People on the curb can remain seated and then all other rows will be standing (with the exception of the mobility devices), so my mom was basically front since the people in front of her were sitting.

I also went last weekend (alone so no wheelchair) and watched down near Small World. I was seated on the ground in front and probably got there around 6:45. By 7, it was definitely starting to fill in a lot. So I would suggest being there early.

@LKing - she has some good maps and can probably highlight where that location is better than my location

I would contact guest services to see if they can answer your questions.
