Parade dining question

[cheapster316]

I'm not sure if this is the right boards. In 1 week I can book my ADR . We are only doing 1 park day prior to cruise. I'm thinking of doing BOG breakfast , hit fantasyland right after. Make our way around the park . Skip lunch and do an early Ohana dinner reservation and then come back to MK.
I want to do the 3:00 parade. We have been before but I can't Rember how long the parade is. Last time we did the parade, a little shopping and then chef mickeys for 5:00 dinner. We got there really early. I would like to do as early as a dinner as possible but still see the parade. Any ideas what a reasonable dinner time I should schedule.
We will not have a car and will use the monorail.

It is in the 12-14 minute time frame.

'Ohana begins serving dinner at 5:00p. You'll have plenty of time to watch the 3:00 parade and then travel to the Poly.

Length of parade will also be affected by where you are sitting. If you are at the end you have to wait for it to get to you.

Ohana now starts dinner at 3:30 pm.

Thanks! That's what I thought and was going to suggest 4:30 but allears hasn't updated their 5:00 info.

So, if OP is in the Town Square area, the parade will finish up at about 3:45. Dinner at 4:30/4:45 would probably be the earliest they can make it to Poly via Monorail.

Thank you everyone. I had in my mind that the parade takes 45 minutes. I will shoot for 4:30. We usually watch over by hall of presidents.
I figure 5:00 may be hard to get so I thought if I picked an earlier time it might be easier. I looked at what was open for a few weeks before and saw some reservations before 5
