How Can I Get Priority or VIP Parade Seating?

[abwdreaming]

Hi, I am trying to find out if it is possible to get Priority or VIP reserved seating for the Disneyland Parade.
I realize if you book a Tour some offer reserved seating, but I really do not want to do a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hour tour with my Granddaughter 3yr.
Is there any other way to get reserved Parade seating?

IIRC, it comes with some of the vacation packages through WDTC. Disney Visa package, I think?

Other than a tour I know of no other way. Looked at a couple of packages, Disney and Costco and did not see it offered.

Confirmed by Mousesavers: Disney Visa Package has preferred Parade Viewing for one parade.

Thank you all so much for your help. Helenb I do not have a Disney Visa car, I do have a Costco Card. So I will check out both. Really nice to know there are other options. Gives me hope there is an option for me. I will keep on looking.
