Don't worry, I'm not planning to skip the parade. I was just trying to figure out if we could make it from near it's a small world (where I plan to watch the parade at 7pm) over to Plaza Inn to get dinner and hopefully a table with a view of the Castle at least an hour before the fireworks start at 9:25pm.
I have reservations for the 50th tour with reserved seating for the fireworks on another night. But I was contemplating seeing them a second night, and trying to think of another relatively hastle free way to do it.
I've heard that getting a Plaza Inn table with a view is feasible usually about an hour before fireworks. I'm assuming since I'll be there the week before Easter, I'll need to allow for extra time.
