Tips and Tricks from our Trip (Fast Pass+ Enabled)

It is...he must be mistaken.

FoF Parade is at noon? I thought it was at 3?

On the 24 hours of Rock Your Disney Side there was a noon FoF parade.

Did it get super crowded? I'm only asking because we will be there for my son's(2.5) first trip. I was originally thinking the grassy area that is reserved for wishes might be nice for him to relax a little in. If we're already situated on the curb for the parade will people run and jump in front of us, blocking the view? Sorry, just trying to get as much detailed info as possible before making my FP+ reservations. I def don't want to waste them if I can help it.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. In my experience, when the parade is over people will fill in the street and everyone stands up. So unless your child is on a bridge or has a wall to stand on, there will be people standing in front of him. Of course, you have to look straight up at that close range to see the fireworks, so if you can hold him he should be able to see most. We haven't used a FP for either show, but you should expect to have a crowd of people around any decent viewing of Wishes unless you are in the Rose Garden or at the dessert party on the rail.

Only at EPCOT and people do get in line before 1pm too

I have a Disney Visa and was planning to do this during our Oct. trip. Does anyone know if it's available in other parks besides Epcot?

2. If you bank with Chase there is absolutely no reason NOT to have the disney debit card. It gets you a walk on in photo session at Epcot with a printed 8x10. It also gets you 10% off those expensive souvenirs.
3. Be nice! Be nice to the cast members working. Be nice to the other people in the park. Be nice to other folks waiting in line. Remember being nice goes a long way in changing the mood of the folks around you.

Is it an 8x10" now? Used to be 5x7". (Website still says 5x7)

Hmm... I'd love to be able to do one fp for msep and stay put. On our last visit 3 years ago we didn't get a good view of either one, so I want to see both.

Are you saying you were able to stay in the reserved area for the fireworks?Was it still reserved or did they take the ropes down after the parade? I know they have a separate fastpass section for Wishes. I was planning on using two fastpasses, one for MSEP and one for Wishes but this would be much better. Any info would be great!!!

The FP area for the parades and Wishes are in different places. For parades, its in the center of the hub, facing the castle. For Wishes, it's in the rose garden, off of the Tomorrowland Bridge.
