Pixar Play Parade: "Dinner rush" afterward ?

[S. S. Columbia]

The Pixar Play Parade is shown around dinner time.

After the parade, is there a "rush" to the restaurants for dinner?

We want to watch the parade and then have dinner in DCA afterwards.

Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, in advance.

We actually ate at the Pizza Oom Mow Mow (Pizza and Pasta) where the parade starts in the Paradise Pier area and we walked out about 20 min before the parade started (some of our party was still eating and came over before it started) and had front row seats. This was MLK weekend so it was somewhat busy, but still during the off season. Not sure how summer would be.

I didn't think there was too bad of a rush. Most people exited the park and headed back to DL when it was over.
