I like to watch both parades in the same spot- in front of the barber shop on Main Street. That is my favorite spot to watch the parades. I don't have a set spot to watch Wishes.
I don't really like front row to watch the parades mostly spectro.I enjoy a little back to see the entire float as it goes by.
I go to the walkway to the left of the castle (facing it ) and watch as it crosses the bridge.even some tables and chairs that you can sit
I like to watch SADCT from it's starting point near Splash Mountain. They put up a rope on the fence near the Kodak Picture Spot and I always park myself there about 1/2 hour before it begins. It's neat to see everything without crowds in the background.
I usually watch Spectro from the curb of Main St, near the Plaza restaurant. It always puts me in prime location for Wishes.
I like to watch both from somewhere along the boardwalk in Frontierland. There is a nice spot right where the CBJ show lets out. We always mange to find a seat on the boardwalk in such a position that no one can get between us and the rope. Watching Spectro from MS is nice, but the crowds are just flippin' awful, and there is always someone getting stepped on or shoved around.
