How long is the MSEP timewise?

[SeiterClan]

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone knows about how long the MSEP runs for? I'm wondering if it's possible to stay & watch the Remember fireworks from the preferred viewing parade section near IASW if I see the first parade which starts at 8:30pm & then stay to watch the Remember fireworks from the same area that starts at 9:30. Is this a good idea? Trying to minimize waiting time as well as dealing with crowds since we will be there opening weekend of the Remember fireworks on Feb. 3rd & 4th! Also, does anyone have any advice about which day would be better? I'm noticing only SoCal passes are blocked out on Sat. Feb. 4th, but that's it. :/ Any advice anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know the time...I think it was around 25 minutes? It's been so long...

I think it's possible to watch both MSEP and RDCT from the same spot. I don't know about preferred seating, but any other area would be fine, so unless they make you exit the preferred area between the two, you should be set.

As for the day, it's the off season, so you have that going for you. I don't think the crowds will be much different either day by the evening. Mornings on weekdays are far less crowded, but by evening, at least with PtN and DF, it was packed from about 4PM onward. I'm not sure if MSEP will have the same pull, but I think RDCT will.

I believe its about 25minutes, but the new DL version supposedly cut a few floats from the WDW run.
I know from watching MSEP in WDW many, MANY times . We can watch the complete parade from Frontier land (WDW), and with a few shortcuts, make our way back to the entrance of MK right where main street starts, to see the entire (same) parade a 2nd time. Sometimes, thats how we leave MK also, but instead of watching the parade a 2nd time, we leave to beat the crowds.

I would say 20 minutes will be close for MSEP, unless they add some new floats, then it may be closer to 25 minutes.
