Spectro Magic & Wishes Question??

[pbharris4]

What time during the summer is the Spectro Magic Parade and Wishes fireworks? Where would a good spot be to see the parade? I already have a great spot for the fireworks in mind. Thanks!!! Oh..one more thing..would you pick Spectro Magic 7 Wishes over Fantasmic? I'm thinking of only doing MGM in the a.m. and then head over to MK in the early evening. (I have 2 DD..3 and 10) The 3 yr old hasn't seen either the fireworks or the parade. My 10 yr old has seen the fireworks but not the parade. We are DVC members so we can always go back to one or the other at a later time.

I would pick Spectromagic and Wishes over Fantasmic. I love Fantasmic, but Wishes and Spectromagic win. I love to watch the parade in front of the snack cart sort of in front of Crystal Palace, just before the parade goes to the right around the hub, if that makes any sense.

Do you happen to know what time they start? I know during the winter there isn't a Spectro Magic and the fireworks are at 9. For some reason I am thinking the parade will be at 9 and the foireworks at 11pm. If they are at 11pm..there's no way I'll be able to keep my DD awake that late.

I personally like Fantasmic better then Spetro and Wishes so I would pick that. Good spot for Spetro though would be down by Frotierland. I say this becasue it is the end of the parade and while it won't get there until 30 minutes after it starts on main street, you will get a better spot if you get there early enough and by the time its finished on your end, Main Street is already calm due to all the crowds leaving and going somewhere else. Even though you said you already have a good place to stand for Wishes, I would reccommend standing anywhere on Main Street. We always stand right behind the circle but I have read that others like standing further back like by the train station.

Hey Darth Sidious that is a great idea to see the parade. I forgot that we watched once from right inside the park entrance and then we scooted right out.

Your copy and paste is a little wrong, I got confused until I checked the link. What you meant to say was that Spetro is at 9 and 11 with Wishes at 10.

Thanks!!! I was looking for that on the WDW site but couldn't find it. Guess we will make sure she takes a late nap that day so she can stay awake for Wishes! Thanks!!!
