From Tomorrowland to Main St during Parade

[auntyjenn]

Will I be able to get to Main St shops from Tomorrowland during the night time parade? If not. How far before the parade should I head to Main St?

On the east side of Main Street, yes.

(It is possible that they will have the backstage pathway open, which takes guests from
near Tomorrowland Terrace/Plaza Restaurant all the way up to Tony's Town Square.)

I've taken that pathway before (many years ago). It was kind of cool.

And, right now, they are re-themeing it to look much more "Disney-like"
(and less like a parking lot) for guests taking this path.

If you only want one side of the shops (side with the ice cream parlor) then yes, you'll be able to access that side during the parade.

You aren't allowed to cross the street during the parade, so if you want the other side (Emporium, which is basically one long store the length of Main Street), you'll have to get to Main Street and cross before the parade starts.

Is there a path to walk by tomorrowland terrace, or is that Disneyland? I get them mixed up in my brain.

 

[auntyjenn]

oh, and while we're on the subject-ish... if I'm in tomorrowland just before the afternoon parade where's the closest/best place to watch the parade and how early should I get there? (March 15, all adults and teens, so we can stand)

and, would right after that be a bad time to go see Mickey?

In MK, there is a walking route (that bypasses most of the Tomorrowland-Hub bridge) directly THROUGH Tomorrowland Terrace
that goes to/from Tomorrowland to/from the Plaza Restaurant area.

1. where's the closest/best place to watch the parade and how early should I get there? (March 15, all adults and teens, so we can stand)

and,

2. would right after that be a bad time to go see Mickey?

1. That would be in the castle hub area. But, it will be very full of guests who
will have been waiting for an hour or more by parade time.

A less congested parade-viewing area would be Liberty Square, near Hall of Presidents,
but that is not exactly "close to" Tomorrowland.

2. The afternoon parade ENDS in Town Square (location of the Mickey Meet)
so there would be hundreds (if not thousands) of guests in that area following the parade.
(I mean, they literally FOLLOW the end of the parade as it goes up Main Street.)
Town Square will likely be a mess for awhile after the parade (and, I'd think many of those guests might try to visit Mickey while they are in the area.

I have a question.

If we watch MSEP at 9:00 pm in the Liberty Square area but then want to go to a better viewing area for Wishes at 10:00 pm where would we go? And how would we get there?

Or would it be better to pick at spot for Wishes at 10:00 pm and then view MSEP at 11:00 pm?

Thank you. very helpful. I think I shall instead try to find myself in Fantasyland before the afternoon parade and head to Liberty Square to watch it. Also, Meet Mickey a few hours later (but before 9)
