There are no show stops for this parade, so anywhere you can get a good view is a good spot to watch. Front row anywhere along the parade route is great. I have little ones and found the Main St. RR station to be a good place for them to be able to see without any lifting or hoisting necessary, though the performers don't really interact with the kids from there. The area in front of the Alice bathrooms has some shade if it's a hot day.
