Superstar Parade Information and Advice?

[jenhelgren]

Does the parade always start and end in the same spot? I was checking a few different websites and they had different info on where it starts and ends. Is it always the same time everyday or does it depend on the season? We are visiting 10/25-10/28 and would love advice on the best place to sit/interact with characters etc! TIA!!

Can anyone help me out with parade advice? UO closes at 5 pm the last two nights we are there for HHN-so do they not have a parade at all on HHN or do they move up the time to afternoon?

Can not remember if they switched the parade time to 3 on those days

Last year I caught that parade about five times and one time it was done early

Not sure if it was due to weather or Hhn event

Hopefully someone will be answer more positively than I can

They stop outside between Horror Make up Show and Cafe La Bamba.........we've had some excellent photo opportunities there every year.........

Never paid attention to times.

We were there last week. I do know on 8/23 the parade started at 3 and later that week, I can't remember which day, it started at 5.

Are the parade times posted in advance somewhere or is it something we would have to find out when we get the times guides? Is the UO parade anything like Disney where people claim spots REALLY early? My DD is only 9 and really wants to be able to see the parade!! One of the Universal sites I read showed the parade going full circle and entering and exiting near Horror Make UP Show but another showed it starting at Louie's and ending at Make Up show so I wasn't sure which route is the most current.

I hair have stood near the mummy to see the parade
Get a better total view there instead of Louie's as parade comes around that bend and does not stop there

Parade does have a stop near mummy as it bends to the left at the end of that street


Then when parade has passed me. I walk over to horror make up show and watch it again there
Probably about ten minutes or more before it hits that area

Note that if the parade is at 3 or 5, stand on the other side of the street across from horror make up show so the sun is not in your eyes

You can find the parade time online and in the park

Usually posted in the front of the park and in the guide maps

All staff can tell the time it will be on when you are in the park that day

The parades aren't like Disney's we were able to walk up right when it started and were right in the front.
