Viewing Tips

Long time reader, first time poster

I have a FastPass for Wishes at MK and it shows that I can enter the reserved area at 7:40. I am pretty sure this means I can see the Celebrate the Magic show from the reserved area, but where should I watch Main Street Electrical Parade from? Should I stay close to the FastPass area? Can I watch from Fronteirland and follow parade to Main Street? Should I stake out a spot on Main Street? Has anyone done this? I would greatly appreciate any tips and suggestions. I leave in 9 days! Thank you in advance!

Yes, you can see CTM from the FP area but no, I would not suggest watching the parade in Frontierland and following the parade because the MSEP goes the other direction. Many recommend watching the parade in the Main Street area then jumping in the road after the parade passes and follow it the rest of the way up Main St until you get to the FP area you are targeting where you can veer off and head to the entrance. When we had our Wishes FP we did not need to watch the parade (we saw that on a different night) so we actually sat in the Wishes FP area to experience the lights/music but it is not a great place to view the parade because you can not see the ground level items only the parts higher in the air. We were traveling with another family who did need to see the parade and they found a spot to watch in the Hub then joined us in the FP area for CTM and Wishes after the parade had passed.
