Hi,
You'll be there while we're there as well. We go this time every year. Expect HEAVY HEAVY crowds. If you want to get a prime spot, you'll have to be staking your part of the sidewalk out an hour early. However, you can stand behind a few rows and still get a great view. I dont wait my whole evening for a show, I'll show up and find a decent spot to see.
I hate your DD is not a night owl because Wishes is just not to be missed!
