MK Parade Question

[ptslp]

For the afternoon parade at MK, does anyone know what time it is finished on Main Street? I believe when we are there at the end of the month it will start at 3pm and we have Crystal Palace ADRs for 3:45. If I remember correctly, we should be down by CP for the parade right? I don't want to miss our ADR because we can't get through the crowd. We will be hopping from another park and my sister-in-law was thinking about an afternoon break and not seeing the parade, but I want to be sure she gets to the park in time to get through to get to CP.
Any advice would be appreciated!!

Sorry- edited to say "finished" rather than "Done" it starts at 3pm, I need to know when it should be over!

It depends on the day. If you check disney's official website they will have the parade schedule for your exact date.

allow yourself ample time, I would arrive to the park before the crowd of the parade. It maybe tough to navigate the crowd during the parade, some streets may be closed off by cms and if you can plan it, why arrive to dinner all rushed and stressed out.

Be sure that you plan to be in the park about 30 to 45 minutes before the scheduled parade starting time of 3:00 and stake out your viewing spot.

You should have no problem reaching the Crystal Palace from the parade route at all if you plan to watch the parade from the left side (left side when looking at the castle from the main entrance) of Main Street. (Look at a park map.) Just position yourself near the street that leads to the CP, leave the parade, concluded or not, at about 3:30 and walk to the CP, a very short walk from your parade location to the restaurant.

Actually, I would say that your meal reservation time shows excellent planning, and should not create any problems at all.

Enjoy.
