EP and Fireworks

[popcorn]

We've decided to make our trip Tue-Fri to beat the weekend crowds. However, this means we'll have to see the Electrical Parade and the Believe Fireworks on the same night. The parade starts at 845 and the fireworks at 930, thats only 45 minutes! So here are my questions-

1) where does the parade start and finish? does it go by the main dca hub near the entrance?
2) how long is the parade? how long does it take to get from where it starts to the main hub?
3)we love to watch the fireworks from nos along the river- with Fantasmic down are they still playing the believe music over the soundsystem over there?

Thank you so much for all your help. If Fantasmic were playing we'd definately stay Sat night too- but we decided we'd rather add Tues to our trip this time. Thanks Again!

Yes, the EP goes right by the main entrance hub at DCA...just stake out a spot there and you'll have a quick exit to Disneyland after the parade. The parade lasts about 20 minutes, so you'll have plenty of time to head to DL afterwards.

For fireworks viewing, Main Street is really preferable...the Believe Fireworks are positioned so that those viewing from Main Street get the best view. Main Street will be crowded but you should be able to find a position somewhere there to see the fireworks.

Enjoy!

We were there yesterday. We watched the EP from the very end and walked slowly back to the entrance, just as we were getting near the main hub the fireworks went off. You can see it from there, but no music. If you want to get into DL for fireworks, though, stake out a spot on the entrance side of the hub. (get your hand stamped earlier in the day so you don't have to worry about that). Run our the entrance, across to DL and stand in a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG line to get in. The faster you get there the shorter the line. The problem is that you could get stuck in line when the fireworks go off. Yes, the lines do get long right then, but it is possible to do.
