Awesome job, Robo!
Next month, I'll be at MK for one day only - leaving to have supper and coming back... which I think may be around 9pm. How do I get back into the park if the parade has started?
If there is a PARADE going on Main Street, just go up to the train station and ride directly to Frontierland.
And one of the best times...
If you are trying to get to MK to see the SpectroMagic Parade and the train is still operating during the parade (it starts near the head of Main Street) you can ride directly back to Frontierland and see the whole Spectro Parade, beginning-to-end...
as it takes 20-25 minutes for Spectro to reach the Country Bears area.
The "3 O'Clock Parade" goes the opposite direction, but if you want to get to a better viewing position (in Frontierland) and you are still ahead of it's start-time, jump on the train to get directly there.
You'll bypass trying to wind thru the shops and/or parade-watchers on Main Street and still get to see the parade with less hassle.
If the train is not running at that time, you'll be directed around to the RIGHT side of Main street (as you enter) and you'll need to slip by the crowds thru some of the shops that are connected together.
And SOMETIMES, if its really busy, the CM's even direct guests to go BACk STAGE (behind the Main Street buldings) and all the way to near the Noodle Station (close to Tomorrowland.)
