Tony's TS then MSEP?

[amym2]

I posted before about our arrival day dilemma. My current thinking is that we'll grab CS at Roaring Forks when we arrive at WL around noon. Then we'll head to the MK.

If the timing works out, could we do TS at Tony's Town Square for dinner then right after dinner snag a spot to see the Main Street Electrical Parade? Does it come right by Tony's and at what time if it starts at 8pm? Is there a good spot around there to see it? What time should I make the Tony's ADR for this to work?

After the parade, if we catch the boat from the MK to WL will we be able to see Wishes at 9 from the boat? Will a gazillion other people be trying to do the same?

The MSEP starts on Main Street. The parade units come out of the gate adjacent to the firehouse/Emporium opposite Tony's so you'll see the floats immediately and within a minute or 2 they will be passing Tony's. If it's crowded you may not be able to see the smaller/on the ground floats and performers.

As far as seeing the fireworks from the boat, there are some variables that come into play. As you said, it depends on how many other people have the same plan. Also, there isn't a line of boats running continuously one after another. Like the buses there is wait time in between, plus boarding time so it's hard to say if you'll be crossing the lake at the right time. Also, you won't be able to see Tinkerbell fly or the projections on the castle or hear the music. If this is your only chance to see Wishes, I would wait after MSEP and watch it from Main Street.

Okay, thanks. We've seen Wishes before, but we might end up sticking around for it then making a mad dash out. Plus we plan to go to MNSSHP later in the week, so we'll see the special fireworks that night.
