Parade and SDMT fastpass timing...help

[KJWA]

I lucked out and was able to get a fastpass for SDMT for 4 of us for our trip next month. But it's 2:40-3:40 (not ideal for us but I wasn't going to pass it up). Problem is that was the day I was planning to see the Festival of Fantasy parade.

Can I make this work somehow? Appreciate any input.

Watch the parade from Liberty Square then take the path near HM to head back to Fantasyland to hit the end of your window. You'll be fine. We're watching the parade and eating at CRT at 3:50. (right across from 7DMT).

Agree. You should be able to make the end of your window as long as the walk doesn't take too long and the FP line isn't too long when you get there. The parade is only 15 minutes long and if you see if from Liberty Square you will be at the beginning of the route.

Thank you!

On our other MK day I have a FP for Splash 11:15 to 12:15 with CRT reservation at 11:55. Not sure if that will work.....thoughts?

That's a little tighter. Can you not get an earlier (or later) time for Splash? That one would make me more nervous.

Keep in mind you can get in 5 minutes before your window, so if you keep it, I'd be at the entrance ready to enter at 11:10.

I couldn't get an earlier time but will keep checking. I might try to do it earlier without a fastpass. Thanks again!

Any other opinions about my original question?

You're fine. Watch the parade, then go straight to 7DMT. I'd watch from Liberty Square as the parade will pass there sooner, and then you have two easy ways into Fantasyland.

I would watch it from Liberty Square (by HOP or the photo op "stocks".) As soon as the parade ends turn around and head toward Fantasyland. At that location the parade should be finished by 3:25 at the absolute latest, so you have 15 minutes to walk over (25 if they are allowing a 10 minute late window) and get in line for 7DMT.

That said, I would walk as quickly as feasible since the line will increase quite quickly when the parade ends.

Thanks everyone!
