MSEP FP+ question

[Selket]

I have a MSEP F+ already reserved for next week (just before Easter) and I expect the park will be crowded. On the Disney website it says to arrive between 9:30 and 9:50pm. We have a dinner at Chef Mickey's around 7:30 so we should have time to get over there by 9:30pm if not earlier. The questions are:

1) Is the viewing area at the flag pole near the entrance?

2) I'm renting an ECV - can I remain seated in it to view the parade?

3) Is the 9:30pm time the earliest we can get into the FP+ viewing area or ?

4) Are we guaranteed a spot if we get there by 9:50pm? I'm just not sure what the times 9:30-9:50 mean. The parade is at 10pm and Wishes is at 9Pm.

That's our arrival day so all of our FP's are late afternoon with the MSEP one being the last one that night. I've not used the FP+ for parades or fireworks so I'm not sure how that all works. Thanks!

1. Yes
2. Yes. Strollers and wheelchairs were in the area when we watched a parade.
3. If the retaining ropes are up and FP CMs are there, you can enter early.
4. Parade CMs want FP guests in place by 9:50. The route has to be cleared before the parade steps off.

It's the built-in "everybody is late at WDW" factor.

If you show up before the parade, you'll be admitted.

Thank you both much! That's exactly what I wanted to know.
