We will be at the MK sat. night and there are 2 parades. One before wishes and one after. Would you recommend the one after wishes? I was thinking we might be able to get on some rides we werent able to do during the day around the 1st parade and watch the second. What do you think?

That's a good idea.
It's worked for us before.

Fewer (a LOT fewer) guests watch the second parade compared to the first one, so RIDING during the first one will be a good strategy.

BTW, both of the Spectro parades go the SAME direction. They start on Main Street and end in Frontierland.

3:00 Parade goes the other direction.
 
That is the best way to do it. Most guest will be leaving the park after wishes if they have already seen Spectro. That is what I am planning for my first night. I am only going into the park for Spectro and Wishes as this by first day and I won't get to the hotel till 4PM and by the time I check In. Gonna start my vacation off with a BANG!!!
 

UNLESS...it is threatening to rain. Spectro is my favorite parade, and we waited till the second parade, and it rained hard during the first, stopped for Wishes (a special Hallowishes preview, complete with live lightning...cool!), and everything was fine for the last parade at 10, but no parade. They kept saying "Sorry for the delay, we will start it as soon as we can." We waited and waited. 11:30, and out came the parade, with less than half of the characters and only about half of the floats, some floats were empty. It was the saddest thing I ever saw. :guilty: Truly, I almost cried. So if bad weather is coming, stick to the first parade, just in case! :blush:
