MK parade and Crystal Palace

[cindym]

I have a 3:35 ADR for CP but we would like to watch the parade at 3. If we stand to watch around Pecos Bills and then hurry to CP do you think it will be a problem? I have heard that there is a long wait for your table and think this will work. We are 2 adults and no kids so we should be able to hurry.

It isn't so much about the ability to hurry as much as post-parade congestion and how busy it is on the day. There is no real reason why you can't get there in five or so minutes. Only snag is, assuming the parade starts at Main Street, it is quite late by the time it gets to Frontierland a good 20 minutes has passed. Actually, as I am typing this, I realise there is no reason why you can't get to CP in time. I haven't deleted my first thoughts so that you can get my thought process from both sides. Just realised we usually watch from Pecos Bill's and I recall it getting there around 3.20 pm at the latest. By 3.30 the parade should be through and you can dash across to CP. If there is a long line outside they will probably not even realise you arrived late to check in (if it comes to that) - as there is no way of telling how long you waited to check in. Yeah, I reckon, especially just two adults it should be a breeze. You could even call the CP from your cell phone outside Pecos Bill if you know you won't make it in time and are really worried (tell them you are snarled up in pedestrian traffic...).

By the way, we LOOOOOVE the Crystal Palace - enjoy your meal!
