Hi, and thank you for your help. We are two adults who will be in Orlando for a conference and are planning on just doing MNSSHP. We know about getting there at 4pm, and we know we can book FP+ from
3:30-6:30pm 30 days out. We are not interested in character meets and plan on taking advantage of the shorter ride lines. We also understand PP and 7DMT will still have lines. We are interested in the second Boo to You Parade, and possibly the midnight Villain/Hocus Pocus show.
I have the following questions:
1)We may be interested in the fireworks show, but understand the hub will be gridlocked. We want to take advantage of the low ride lines at that time, but there may be chance we’d like to stop what we are doing for 20 minutes and watch the fireworks from afar (unless you say it’s easy getting in and out of the hub at that time). Are there any recommended spots not in the hub where we’d at least see the fireworks? We’d miss the pre-show and any projections on the castle, but would we still hear any music or sound?
2)If I get the urge for some last minute candy, do they continue to hand it out at or near midnight?
3)How much of the crowd leaves after the fireworks? Half, quarter?
4)Does the parade switch directions for the second show (ie Frontier to Main St, then back?). Basically, where is the start of the second parade?
5)We plan on Uber/Lyft/Taxi back to our off-site hotel. Is it reasonable one of those would be at the TTC after midnight?
Thanks so much for your help.
