Good spot for Spectromagic?

Where is a good place to watch it? Towards Frontierland?
Last time we attempted it, it was a mess. We know better now not to watch it on a Saturday. They will have it on a Mon and Thurs during our stay. We were hoping to see the whole thing this time and maybe even take some pictures of it.

We like the area near Pecos Bill in Frontierland. There is a rock wall you can sit on and the view is great. Also, you don't have to get a spot as early if you are there instead of Main Street.

We always stand near Liberty Tree Tavern. Last time we actually sat in the rocking chairs on the porch. So cool. Enjoy!!

We like to sit on the benches across from LTT. Great spot!

I like to watch in front of the Barber Shop on Main Street. I always watch the parades there.

We sat at the curb in front of the bathrooms next to Guest Relations. It's right by where the parade starts. We were there in January, so I know it's slower then, we arrived about 30 minutes before the parade started. It was a great location.

We have found that most people head for Main Street thinking they will be able to see better there. If you are one of the lucky ones and camp out an hour or more before the parade starts you may see it better... but you will also have lots of people pushing and squeezing trying to get as close to you as possible.

Last year we were on the waterside of frontierland. It was awesome. No one was trying to push there way between or infront of us. We saw the parade from the "front lines" and weren't crowded at all.

Definitely try to catch the parade in Frontierland unless you don't want to move if Wishes is after it. Always less people and that means less pushing, shoving and all around rudeness. We have sat on Main Street before, but you have to camp out for those spots soooo early and to us its not worth the wasted time. Then it seems like some family decides its their God given right to walk up 20 minutes before the parade starts and try to get in front of us. No sorry, not going to happen.

Thanks for your help everyone!! I'm definitely staying in the FL area. We tried Main St last time. Didn't work for us!
We saw people camping out like 2 hours ahead of time. Not for us with three kids. I could only imagine the pushing etc.
Thanks for the tips!!

FL gets my vote. However, last year we accidentally got a good spot near the restrooms closest to guest relations. We were too tired to stay for the parade and were on our way out, but DS needed to make a pit stop. As we were leaving here came Spectro and we just stood right there and watched unobstructed (this was last May.)
