RideMax/Paint the Night Parade/Forever Fireworks 28th October

[Dee2015]

Hi, trying to use RideMax and it tells me I can't see both of these on the 28th?

PTN is on at 8pm & FF 8.40pm. Is there a spot we could be in to watch both with awesome views please or should these really be done on separate nights as RM suggests?

Thanks in advance

IMHO...Right along Main Street is great. Wouldn't recommend the narrow parts, better off on either end, I prefer the circle toward City Hall, Lincoln, etc. Quicker to exit.

As long as you are willing to watch fireworks from wherever you watch Paint the Night, you should be fine. They've been presenting fireworks between 40 and 50 minutes after the parade steps off consistently since they debuted. The parade will just finish up on Main Street (exit Main Street) and fireworks will start about 5 minutes later. There really isn't time (or space) to go anywhere else, so pick a spot that will work for both (usually either Main Street - Hub to Town Square - or the IaSW area). I like to watch from the Hub end of Main Street so your immersed in the Main Street projections and can still see the castle easily. As soon as the last float in the parade passes by, people will move out onto the route to get a good viewing spot for fireworks.

Fabulous thanks! So PTN heads from the top of the park out towards the main DL exit? Terrible description but I trying to work out the route and direction lol!

I'm thinking if they come that way people would walk behind the parade to towards to castle - yeh? And by the looks of it, we'd need to be on the right side? Are you allowed to be on the grassed area that appears on my map out the front of Plaza Inn? That looks to be on the correct side for the parade and to have an unobstructed view for the fireworks if we then get up and walk towards the castle?

Thanks again!
