Hub construction: impact on MSEP and Wishes

[vinotinto]

With the hub behind walls and construction scheduled through 2015, I'm still having a hard time picturing where to stand for parades and Wishes. I have a FP+ for MSEP, but isn't the hub now closed? Where do you stand? I don't want to use a FP+ to be crammed with other people.

Does anyone have any recent pics?

So far none of the waikng areas have been off linits. It's all been in the water and grass areas so far.

There is still plenty of room. The close areas are to the back on former lawns and gardens, making those into a new ring walkway. The original circle walkway is still there as is the very center.

We usually watch fireworks from the up against the railing on the path between Crystal Palace and Casey's, so "our spot" is now blocked by walls.

Same here....and I still haven't come up with a decent alternative for good photos with the castle in the background. Other than the Main Street/Hub mob scene, which is not exactly conducive to taking photos with a tripod!

Would love to know what people have come up with for alternative Wishes photo spots not on Main Street....

Bridge from hub to Tomorrowland is a great spot.

Thanks! That spot crossed my mind but I haven't ever watched from there. How early would one need to stake out a spot for Hallowishes in early September, do you think?

Many times, in early December timeframe, I have arrived 15 minutes before and had no problems.

That sounds great! I would think those should be similar crowd levels, and that's about when I would grab my spot near Crystal Palace, so possibly it won't even "cost" any more time. Thanks again!
