Spectro & Wishes Combined Viewing Spot?

[OLT2004]

Good Morning!
Can anyone suggest a few good viewing spots for watching both Spectro & Wishes
Without Moving?


We will not arrive @ the MK until after the 4PM AK Parade, I estimate we should be walking into the MK around 6 or 6:30PM on a very crowded Thanksgiving "Black Friday".

Spectro is @ 8PM & Wishes @ 9PM...

Ideally, I would like a spot where you can get a good view of Tinkerbelle's Flight...

We are willing to hold down our spot from the minute we enter the park...

Thanks!

Well, I'm certainly not an expert as I only viewed them both last week but I did read up on it before I left!

We sat on Main Street about half way down. We enjoyed the parade and then walked up Main Street for a better view. We walked up to the beginning of the Hub.

We just stood on the street near the sidewalk (which was all full already) and directly in front of the hub. It was just too crowded to go any further but it was a great spot!

The best is to be in front of the castle. We had a great view of everything.

But I have read that a really good spot is half way around the hub on the right of the Castle toward Tomorrowland for seeing the fireworks and Tinkerbell.

Also, another person suggested the upstairs part of the train station for seeing both the parade and Wishes. I did see lots of people up there but I'd say seeing Tinkerbell wouldn't be as easy.

Good luck!

In 2000 I held down the second row of the Train Station Balcony for 4 Hours!!
There was a group from the UK who was there an hour before me to get the Front Row!

Great Seats for Spectro - but I cannot invest that much time plus they are not the best for Tinker & Wishes!

WOW!! Was that peak season??

It wasn't that bad for me. I got my spot on Main Street at about 7:00p for 8:30p parade and just walked up to the Hub right after with no major problems either. When I got there at 7:00p there were still lots of spots left but they were probably gone by 7:30p - 7:45p.

Good luck!

Try Main Street in front of the tip board. Then you can step onto Main street after Spectro for a great view of Wishes.

I sat on the other side, but I think that if you get on the curb where the hub begins, you'll be able to see every float for Spectro and the fireworks for wishes since they go off over the right side of the castle (looking at ) We missed Tinkerbell during Tuesday night's show, but I think that she never flew out. My 3yr old had to go to the bathroom just as Wishes was about to start, and my 11 year old son said that she never flew over.

I chose not to sit that close because I was sure that my 3yr old would have been overwhelmed by the huge, bright floats.

We have watched both from the train station but you can not see Tinkerbell from there. Other than that, it is a great choice.

We recently sat on the curb in front of the popcorn machine - go down Main Street and take a right towards Tomorrowland. It was a really good spot, except next time I'd go just a little farther down to the right because there were a couple of trees that blocked the fireworks a little bit.

the train station!

If you are upstairs and in the middle of the station, you can see it all, including tink, but she's awfully small from that far away. Still, it was a great view of Wishes. The Tomorrowland bridge is best for Tink but you don't get the full effect of Wishes from there.

HTH.
