Planning for Parades

[dizzi]

We will be doing DL and DCA for our first time in about 3 weeks.

I am a planner and i make iteneraries for each day.

Normally when we do WDW i have given us about 1.5 hours for a parade, as if you want a good seat there you have to be in yur seat a good 45 minutes if not longer before the parade starts.

I am starting to understand that this may not be neccasary......
How long would you sit before a parade starts
at DL?
at DCA?
How long should i leave in my itnerary for the parades?????
Thanks

I hink it partly depends on what parade it is. In Feb my group found a small opening along the end of the parade path for ELP after it had already started and we were lucky to have a clear view. Maybe we were just lucky? If you don't want to be stuck standing I'd say 20 -30 min minimum in advance. It depends on crowds too.
