Parades, fireworks, etc FP+?

[mrs.ariel]

Hi all,

I'm a DL veteran planning our first WDW trip in Sept.
Can you see the MSEP, wishes, etc without using a FP+?

Do I just need to find a place super early to sit? My kids aren't huge parade people, but I know they'll love the MSEP (I saw it years ago at DL, when DS was 3)

But I don't know if I want to use a FP? Can you FP the day of at the kiosks now as a 4th or 5th FP?

BTW- we'll be going to one MNSSHP, too so they will def see those fireworks and parade!!!

Finally, this WDW trip is a surprise for them, so they won't know until the day of- they think we're only going to stay at POP the night before our cruise

Yeah totally. There's a few flagged off spots for the FP+ holders but pick a spot anywhere else. All of Main St will be available to you just get there like 30 to 45 min early.

A look at the MK Parade Route-
Disney's (MS) Electrical Parade starts near the Firehouse and exits near Splash Mtn.
The New 3 O'Clock Parade (Festival of Fantasy) and both the MVMCP and MNSSHP parades start near Spalsh Mtn. and exit near the Firehouse.

Less crowded than on Main Street, but still spectacular viewing can be found near the Hall of Presidents,
or deep into Frontierland, past the Country Bears.
(But, from there you won't be able to see the new "show" that is actually projected on the front of the Castle,
"Celebrate the Magic," which begins about 15 minutes before the fireworks.)

There's FP for parade seating? Wow, I'm really clueless with this new fp system!
