New FP+ veiwing location for MK parades..........

That looks super cool! If you don't mind me asking, how early did you need to get there to have a good view?

About 330....take the train out of frontierland by 245 and you'll end up right there.

We have watched the parade at this location then easily followed the end of the parade up main st. and got a great spot to see wishes. Make sure you get up and follow as soon as you see the end of the parade.

We have a Fastpass for MSEP, and plan to follow the parade down Main St. to watch the fireworks. Where is the best place to stop to watch the castle show and fireworks? I'm presuming that it gets pretty congested as you get closer to the hub and people begin stopping. Should we just go as far as possible down the street and stop when everyone in front of us stops?

Call me crazy, but to grab a spot at the train station to view the "3:00 Parade" I would not wait until 3:30.

 

[g8torphan]

Ok....crazy

I just looked at my pics...at 323 the parade just entered Town Square

And, you are saying that guests should wait until after the parade has already reached a given a spot to arrive there to to view it?

 

[g8torphan]

No, I said "about 330"

Maybe I should have said about 320, but if they get on the 245 out of Frontierland they'll arrive before the parade.

The down side is: when its over you're at Main St and the rest of the crowd will have a 20 jump on getting back to doing stuff.

So is Town Square still the FP+ viewing area for MSEP? I was hoping they would move it back to the hub before we got there!

Yes; still Town Square.

I agree the train platform is where my family always views the parades. In my opinion it's the best view of the parade going down main street. In years past they have always had tables and chairs up there, not sure if this is still the case, but we would always show up an hour early so we could have a seat along the railing.

They have moved all the seating away from the railings.
The viewing is now "standing only."

Oh that's too bad.

Confused about our MSEP FP+ passes for this Sat nite-2-13...they say 8:30-8:50 yet I just checked the parade times and it's @ 8 & 10 with Wishes @ 9??? Are we really supposed to arrive over an hr before the 2nd parade with a FP? I initially thought this would be for a 9:00 parade, long time to wait with an FP for a 10:00 parade if that's the case?

If the FP+ says to arrive between 8:30-8:50 for MSEP, it would be for a 9:00PM parade start.

My info says that on 2/13/16, MSEP runs at 9PM and 11PM with Wishes at 10PM.
I believe you may have looked at the wrong date.

You are so right-just looked at it this morning and those are the correct times. I swear I looked at the same date last night and it said 8 & 10 (which I thought was strange for a 1 am closing) but wouldn't be the first time there was a glitch on the Disney app-so thanks for your reply.
