Mickeys once upon a time Christmas parade

Wondering whether we should view Christmas Eve or Boxing Day

And which time slot would you guys suggest?

Just to help other DISers provide time slot advice, the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is scheduled for 12pm and 3pm on both 12/24 and 12/26. FYI.

People tend to associate the afternoon parade at MK with it being at 3pm, so during this week some people don't even know there's a noon showing. SO I would say noon, it'll be crowded either day

We saw it at noon on Boxing Day in 2017 and had no trouble finding a spot on the curb in Liberty Square right before it started. I was surprised so maybe it was a fluke but that was our experience!

Noon it is!

Be very early - the park will most likely close for capacity on 12/24 - not as likely on 12/26. You will want to be in the park no later than 9:30 or 10 - both to ensure entry and to get a spot. Walking up anywhere right before and getting a seat that week is a fluke and not the rule. If you have dining plan - see if you have a preferred seating meal option so you don't have to camp out as long.

We don’t have dining plan but we do have 7.55am plaza Adr on 12/24
Therefore we’ll already be in the park.
