Parade direction

[pelagoram]

Can anyone confirm parade direction for the holiday parade during the week?

We will be watching the first parade (1:30) today and are curious whether it will start at Small World and work south, or from Main Street and move north.

Thanks-

The first parade should start at Small World. At least that's how it was last week when we were there. It heads back from Main Street to Small World for the second.

Thanks - you were spot on.

Almost all first parades start at "iasw" due to logistics.

The permanent Parade storage areas are behind iasw, and Disney uses the Main Street parking area next to the Opera House in the morning for other uses.

So for the busy holiday season, you have 2 Christmas Parades, and then they set up for Paint the Night, once again, first offering from iasw to Town Square and then the return to iasw for the final parade of the day.

On slow off-season weekdays where there is only one parade, it is from "iasw" to Town Square, and then shortly after the park is cleared of guests after closing, the floats make it back to storage by going down the parade route without performers.
