MNSSHP Parade, Castle Show, and Fireworks Location

[horse11]

Where would be the best location to see all of these without having to fight for different spots for each, My friend will be attending with a year old and a 8 year old. This is their first trip to Disney and I am trying to help them plan with as less stress as possible for them. I was thinking if they could secure one spot for all these it might be less stressful for them. Any suggestions????

All up main street to the hub will be very crowded. I guess it depends on how long they want to stay in one spot. We got in our spot around 7:30 and stayed there till 10:30 after the fireworks. We were up by the partner statue and had a great view of all three.

What about if you are adding the new Hocus Pocus show into the mix? Would it be better to do the first parade before seeing the show, Celebrate the Magic and Hallowishes or the second parade afterwards? Sometimes all of this feels like your putting really complicated puzzle together and the pieces just don't seem to fit.

Yes that would be the plan. So if they added the Hocus Pocus show then where would be a good spot for everything? Is this even possible?

Actually, that's our plan too, so I was just piggybacking off of your original question. Hope you don't mind. Thinking we might both be able to get our questions answered at the same time.

We stood on the left side of the main hub near the bridge going into liberty square and saw all three. We were packed in like sardines. But we also went to teh crazy first night. I guess others have not been as bad.

Did you see the Hocus Pocus show as well? If so, which one?

We saw the parade and then the 9:00 hocus pocus show, then the 9:45 castle show and the fireworks at 10.

We sat by the castle last time and it was great. We noticed that there are street spot lights all arond the circle and the characters will stop in those spots and do somethign extra, so we sat by one of those. It seems like down main street and the hub were SUPER crowded so we avoided that area.

Perfect! That was my original plan. Sit for the parade, see Hocus Pocus afterwards, and the stick around for Celebrate the Magic and then Hallowishes. I guess I'll just have to move back a bit once we get ready to watch the fireworks. Thanks so much!

So, if you are going to try to get a place kind of near the hub on the parade route so you can do the parade, fireworks, etc. Do you think it would be better to try for the first parade or second parade? I was thinking about trying round 9, but there is a Hocus Pocus show at 9:20, so I don't know if that would work better or not.

The Partners statue is the statue of Walt and Mickey.

For the past few years, we've gotten a spot front and center of the castle along the parade path. We stayed put for the parade, fireworks, celebrate the magic, and at least 2 stage shows. We had to get there fairly early, but since those 4 things were our priority, it wasn't a 'waste' of time. Plus, our goal was to not have to fight crowds.
