MVMCP Wishes viewing

[jms]

So my plan is to hit the 2nd parade and visit characters during the first parade. We will do the castle lighting another night as well. Where is the best/easiest place to watch wishes? After wishes we will do the celebrate the season show and the 1030 parade. Please give ideas for spot for the parade as well.

Oh, that's kind of a tough call. I think in front of the Partner's Statue area (kind of where the FP+ viewing area is for the parades) is a good option for the Celebrate the Season show and the parade, but it's not the most ideal spot for fireworks (it's a fun view, but some of the fireworks will be blocked by the castle). For fireworks, I prefer to be somewhere on Main Street, closer to the castle end. However, that won't work for the Celebrate the Season show because it's on the Castle Forecourt Stage and you really can't see it very well from to far back (I'd say across the street is the limit in some sense). For me, I would probably opt to watch the fireworks from Main Street and then move towards the castle for the Celebrate the Season show and the second parade (maybe try to be between the forecourt stage and the "street").

My guess is we need to be in place by 9 for Wishes. I just hate that it looks like we have to use 2 hours of party time to hit Wishes and the 2nd parade. Which means we need to do our character meet and greets by 9 since most of them stop at 11. If we start farther back for Wishes I am thinking a lot of people will clear out after that and we can move forward for the show then and get a spot for the parade.

Does anyone else have any helpful suggestions?

As soon as the 8:15 parade passes by, guests begin moving to the Hub > Main Street area for the Castle Projection show and fireworks. So, plan on heading to the Hub/Main Street area a little after 8:30. If you don't care about a straight-on view, you can watch from the Tomorrowland bridge/walkway area.

For the parade, after the fireworks head to the Town Square area or find a spot along Main Street if you'd like to be where the "snow" falls.

Can you hear the music on the bridge? We watched from crystal palace area once and the view was good but could not hear anything. Thanks!

Yes. It can be heard because you are in close proximity to the Castle. I once watched from the walkway that runs between Tomorrowland Terrace and the Laugh Factory but the music is drowned out by the Laugh Factory's annoying announcements.

For Celebrate the Season, even if you are close to the Tomorrowland walkway, you'll be able to see everything. That production uses all of the stage and there's lots to see.
