Fast passes for MSEP and Wishes

[Pacesetters]

Is it worth having a fast pass for the electrical Parade and wishes? We are a family of myself DW, my DH and our adult DS. I would very much like to see as many parades and fireworks as I can My DH doesn't really care if he sees any. He thinks if we saw any part of any parade in the past that is enough. My DS is very easy-going and will do whatever. But I know seeing them or not seeing them is not a big thing for him. At first I was going to get the fast pass but I'm now second-guessing myself and thinking it would be better just to take our chances and see what we can see. Without the fast passes are you still able to see anything?

There are no longer any FPs issued for Wishes.
The location for the MSEP FP is not a good spot to watch Wishes or Celebrate the Magic.

If Wishes is an hour after the Main Street Electrical parade, this approach has worked well for us. Watch the parade from somewhere in the town square area. The parade starts there and goes up Main Street, around the hub and into Frontierland. When the end of the parade goes by, step into the street right behind it and follow it up Main Street. Lots of people do this. Since Main Street obviously has to be cleared for the parade, you can walk up Main Street into the hub as far as you want to, and then stop when you get to the spot where you want to watch the castle show and Wishes (and tinkerbelle). If the parade starts at 9 PM, for instance, the last float will come into the town square around 9:20. The castle show would start at 9:45 if Wishes is at 10, so you wouldn't have to stand and wait all that long.

Good info!

Curious if this works when there's only one parade per night?

Yes.
It has nothing to do with there being more than one parade.
It only pertains to whether Wishes is shown one hour after the start-time of the parade.

I still have a FP + for MSEP on my MDE account for the 1st week of May, should I anticipate that they will be cancelling this?

I think that the Wishes FP+ is the one going away soon and that the MSEP FP+ is staying, at least for time being.

No.

I didn't stay that MSEP FP is going away.

I said that the Wishes FP+ is going away.

There are no longer any FPs issued for Wishes.

The location for the MSEP FP is not a good spot to watch Wishes or Celebrate the Magic.

However, we don't know when or if, sometime in the future, they might eliminate the parade FP+.
We just don't know WHAT they will or won't do.

I know you didn't say it but I thought I read on the Disney blog that the parades were being eliminated as well.

Not for your dates.
