FPing parades and fireworks. Worth it?

[thumper*]

So for the mk parades (thanks for the map robo), how many people do they cram in there? Could we still be ten people deep from curb? How early do they suggest showing up?

Our last parade was in Sept and not huge crowds but the afternoon MK parade was just coming down Mainstreet shortly after we entered MK. We were able to just stand on a sidewalk and had a great view w/o anyone in front of us.

We did the electric parade last night. We showed up 40 minutes early and were the first ones in line. We probably didn't have to be that early. The people were only 3 or 4 deep and there are a lot of front row spots. We went straight from there to wishes FP+ and it was great being able to relax and sit down and see everything. They even had a Photopass photographer taking pics at wishes. It's not ideal for celebrate the magic and you don't see the show with the castle centred and fireworks around it...the fireworks are to the right of the castle. But it was still really good.

I'm assuming from the fact that you mentioned the globe that you're talking about IllumiNations; mesaboy was talking about Fantasmic.

Sorry about that. I agree don't use FP+ on fantasmic. Just get there early and sit in the front.
