New to Disney-need advice

[mamapace]

Hello,
Our family of four (me, husband, and 2 daughters-5 and 7 yrs) are going to Disneyworld for the 1st time May 7-11. We have BBB boutique reservations for hair/makeup at 5:00pm and then Cinderella's Royal Table at 7:35pm. We want to see "Wishes" or "SpectroMagic Parade" at 9pm. Will there be enough time for us to be finished with dinner and find a spot to see the light show or parade? If so, where is a good close spot to view?

Thanks for any and all advice!
Julie

Try to get to BBB at least 20mn early as we went a few minutes early and there was a 20 min delay, which i hear is common. If you plan on doing the pictures afterwards next door, make sure you leave right after to leave you enough time for the park, plus waiting to dinner. You might just make it in time!

Yeah, just in time. You'll be pushing in and you may end up standing to view it but it's still all good!

I think you will be rushing to get it all in, but doable. For the fireworks no need to be early, but the parade you will probably want a seat so the kids can see and they usually fill up early, about 30 minutes early.

Yep, I'd say it's definitely doable. We always stand near Mickey's Toontown Fair to watch Wishes, but you may find yourself craning your necks to see. Main Street is usually full by 8.30, but it definitely has the best view.
Hope you enjoy your trip
