[Poohbear77]

Ok, all you Disney Veterans,

What are some of your favorite spots for viewing the parades or fireworks(in any of the parks)? Please fill some of us newbies in.

Thanks soooo much!

The overpass near england is a great place to watch Illuminations. That's where the Illuminations cruises sit to watch.

Let me see. Mine are:
*The Barber Shop on Main Street for both MK parades
*Next to the resturant across from Star Tours at the beginning of DSMC (forget the name of it)
*In Africa for MJJP (either the beginning or the end of the parade)

In the magic Kingdom, there is sort of a balcony/terrace/deck/porch thing with a few tables off of Cosmics Rays..... Right next to a "waterfall" with rocks.....The parade is distant but the spot is peacefull....here are a few pics...

We like standing over by the train station on Main Street. Great view plus a exit as well.

We've always watched the MK 3pm parade from out front of the Hall of Presidents - across from the handicapped parade seating area. We like this spot because by 2:30 we're usually at that spot anyway (we head counter clockwise upon entering the park) - and since this is at the front end of the parade, once we've viewed it, we continue on in Liberty Square & Frontierland & it's quite empty, because others are still watching the parade. Now I better not be fighting for a spot here in Dec. with other DIS-ers!!! LOL!

Even better is the R&C patio!
