Fireworks and Paint the Night Parade

[DopeysMIL]

I'll be meeting up with my DD and GS on the 5th and 6th of September. I'm wondering how to see the fireworks, the parade and WOC in the two nights. Any suggestions on where to sit to take in both the fireworks and the parade at the same time without changing locations. (early parade)

It's worth noting that September 5 and 6 are part of Labor Day weekend and the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend, so I would expect very high crowds in the park. I think your best bet is to find a spot somewhere along Main Street (between the Hub and Town Square) to watch the parade and the fireworks. As soon as the parade finishes passing by a viewing location, guests will move into the street to find a viewing spot for the fireworks. So be prepared for that to happen. At this point, we really don't know what end of summer crowds will be like, but at this point, guests are starting to line up for the prime parade viewing spots hours ahead of the parade (some folks will be there before Soundsational). So if you want to see the first parade and you want a front row spot, you may have to consider spending most of the evening waiting for the parade.
