Tony's: Best ADR time for parade viewing?

[perla75]

What time would you make an ADR at Tony's to catch a view of the daytime parade while eating?

Same question for the nighttime parade.

Also, would you just request a table by the window or is there an outside patio to sit at?

Thanks!

We had a 6:30 ressie last week, the parade started at 7....it was perfect

Now, what if we were to do a lunch ADR. Is there an afternoon parade that we might be able to view while we dine?

We always time our lunch ADR with the afternoon parade...I'd say I set our ADR for 1:15-30, to accomodate any delays in seating and that usually puts all 4 of us at a prime spot on the main street curve by 2:30. It's a great location because the floats slow way down to manuever and you get great pix There usually a character or two in the Kodak shop next to Tonys' too--don't leave without checking: Mary Poppins, Robin Hood, Jiminy Cricket, Pinnochio are just a few I remember over the years.

Sounds great! Though we were thinking about watching the afternoon parade while we are sitting in Tony's enjoying lunch, sitting by a window.

Will that work? If so, should we plan the same time for the ADR? 1:30? Is Tony's usually busy at lunch?
