For those who do not care if they're right "there" or "upfront" for this parade but still wish to see it, I went to MK yesterday (6/9/06) we went to Tom Sawyer Island -my DS and DH ran all thru the island while my DGM and I sat on the rocking chairs in front of Polly's and had Coke Floats while watching the Share a dream come true parade perfectly from the rocking chairs. I have seen this parade before upfront and with the sun and everything I couldnt barely see the characters in the globes from the glare, but from TSI in the rocking chairs it was very clear to see and more enjoyable. The sounds of the parade however were pretty hard to hear obviously being quite a distance away, but it was fine by me 

great tip! we have never gone onto the island this would be perfect....our last parade experience wasn't to great and that was 6 years ago...now we just skip it......
