Electrical Parade FP - will they let you stay to see fireworks?

[ccorcora]

Hello,

The day we are planning to attend MK there are two Electrical Parades - 9pm and 11pm. The FP indicates that you can arrive up to 20 minutes early. The Elec. Parade location is also a great location to see the fireworks.

Question: If we reserve the 9pm FP for Electrical Parade, after the parade will they let us stay in the same spot to see
9:45pm - Celebrate Magic &
10 pm - Wishes

Wishes should end by 10:15pm. If the 11pm Electrical Parade FP seating opens up at 10:40pm I am hoping that they will let us stay in our spot for all 3 events and then we can clear out to let the 11pm Electrical parade viewers get settled.

Has anyone successfully done this? Interested in any thoughts/feedback.

Yes. That should be a great spot to see Celebrate the Magic, but not a good spot for Wishes--the Castle is too close and will obscure much of the fireworks.

Your plan will work fine, and I think it's a good one!

In February I visited on a day with a 7pm and 9pm MSEP.

With a 7pm MSEP FP+, I saw the parade and stayed in that spot/area for the 7:45 Celebrate the Magic and 8pm Wishes. While some of the fireworks are blocked by the castle, I liked being in the same basic spot for all three events.

For me, it's too close. The castle blocks most, but not all, of the fireworks.

I know on the map it shows where to go once MSEP is done (towards the back of the circle on the hub) but if you have FP+ is it easier to move backwards or do you end up stuck in the mob? We are going the first week of May.

We did this in October. Once the parade was over, the crowds really filled in (in front of us) and we were so close to the castle that the view was not ideal for Wishes. However, it was a great spot to watch the castle show.

Glad we did it once, but probably won't in the future (but we are the kind of family who is happy to watch Wishes off to the side on the bridge in front of Tom Sawyer's Island).

We did it in December and loved the spot for the fireworks! It was great!

NO, they made the people who had FPP for MSEP leave before they let the people with wishes enter when we did it last month.

This makes no sense since the FPP area for MSEP and Wishes are two completely different areas.

Agreed.

You can stay there and watches Wishes sure, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's way too close for the fireworks and the castle will be blocking most of them.
