Question about 3pm parade in MK

[jrasmom]

can you see the parade if you're having lunch at Crystal Palace or Tony's Town Square?

We have late lunch adr's at these two places and I was just wondering if we'd be able to see from inside the restaurants if we're seated near a window.

from the CP you MAY be able to catch a brief obstructed glimps of the parade, but not a prime viewinig spot and you won't hear the music/voices that go along with the parade.

from tony's, again maybe there are 2 or 3 tables where you could catch a very brief glimps of the parade, but nothing very good.

if you were outside waiting for table at either place you could catch a better view, but the parade does not pass directly in front of the CP.

WE have an ADR for Tony's at 1:05....so that should allow for plenty of time to eat then walk outside and get a spot for the parade shouldn't it?

Does the parade go directly by Tony's? or close by when we leave there?

sorry, we're first timers and I have no clue!

Yes. The parade will go by Tony's.

Make a late lunch ADR for Tony's and request to eat outside on the patio. We did this in March and enjoyed the parade while eating our dessert. The parade passed right by us with an unobstructed view of everything. And we absolutely heard the music/ voices, etc. We also got some great pictures of the floats.

Sorry - posted twice. The server is kinda crazy today...

We have a lunch ADR for Tony's at 1:05...that should allow plenty of time for us to sit and eat, then move outside and watch the parade..HOPEFULLY!

We'll be there in September too, so hopefully it won't be as crowded and the kids can get a good view!

What time is the 3pm parade?

Yes, the view outside from Tony's porch is excellent for seeing the parade. Last time I was there I had dinner and watched the SpectroMagic parade from that porch. Wonderful view!

I might add that I was solo that trip, and was seated on the rail at a table for two. At another, larger table, away from the railing and behind me, a family with two or three children were eating. When the parade started, the kids naturally ran to the railing, but a CM was right there at once, and asked that the family keep their children at their table.

The children were not a problem at all for me, but I expect that it is Tony's policy to not let folks stand at that railing. Makes sense to me.

Enjoy.
