Parade time ?

[momto2nenas]

Which parade is typically less crowded, the 3oclock or the evening one? TIA!

In my personal experience, the 3:00 parade isn't as crowded.

I agree with DangerMouse. The afternoon parade usually is more forgiving in finding a spot late. Get there early and buy some ice cream to pass the time.

How early would you have to find a spot? And where are the better spots to sit (with 3 kids!)
We have been to DL twice, but never seen a parade.

My favorite parade spot is on the trail between the hub and Alice, across from the Matterhorn and almost directly in front of the newly redone bathrooms. There are cement benches and the kids can sit on the ground on the brick (right up to where the pavement starts).

I like this spot because nobody is sitting on the opposite side, and all the characters are giving their attention to just your side of the street!

I'd get there about 45 minutes before the parade starts.

Thanks so much for that!
I have so much to do in the next 2 weeks, that I'm forgetting all these little details which will make it much easier/better for the kids.
