New viewing areas with FastPass+

[Cdn Gal]

Could somebody please share with me the new viewing areas for the parades? In your experience was it worth it?

I am interested to hear about this as well..
I have a FP+ for MSEP at "Central plaza"...and I had THOUGHT that "central plaza" was the flagpole area by town hall, but after "googling" it, i think it is actually what I *thought* was "central hub" by partners statue I would prefer to watch MSEP by the flagpole for easy escape afterwards...

I am wondering how many people get the FP+ for MSEP, whether we will be "front row" at central plaza viewing area or not...anyone have experience with this?

MSEP is in the hub area.

In the central hub you are on the castle side of the Walt and Mickey statue facing the castle. They rope off the side walk there and you can sit on the curb watching the parade go by with the castle in the back ground. Great pictures! Lots of room to spread out.

We saw the area. It looked like a good spot. Everyone had a front row spot and obviously, you could get there before the parade started and have your spot. It looked empty, not sure if it will stay that empty though once it goes into full operation.

I have the fastpass + also for the viewing. Is it a good view and can i see the fireworks from there too? Thanks

1- Is it a good view and

2- can i see the fireworks from there too? Thanks

1- Yes.

2- You'll want to take a few steps "behind you" (at least 20-40 feet farther away from the castle) immediately after the parade ends, to claim a better viewing angle on the fireworks (and Celebrate the Magic.)

Robo:

Do you have one of your maps showing the FP+ viewing area for Fantasmic?

Curious to know if it's off to the side like the dining package seating.

TIA!

Just back and did the FP+ viewing areas for both the parade and fireworks. The parade viewing location was awesome without the waiting. We should have done as Robo suggested to watch the fireworks and stayed in our parade area but just backed up a bit. While we had an awesome view of the large fireworks and Tinkerbell's flight path (had she flown that night), we had a large tree blocking our view of the castle.
On a prior evening, we found ourselves outside of Gaston's Tavern during Wishes. Let me tell you, that was an awesome spot to be for fireworks! You could feel the crackling and booms as they went off and there was nobody around to crowd us in.
FP+ for Fantasmic seating was awesome as well. Get that one if you are able.

Both the FP+ seating AND the Dining Pkg. seating are located in the "Mickey" section.

we were front and center in the Pocahontas section for our FP+ reservation. Still great seats!
