Viewing Wishes after MSEP from FP+ location

[SFMommy]

Our MK night is Tuesday 5/3. We have dinner at BOG and a FP+ for the MSEP. I was disappointed that the FP+ for Wishes were discontinued.

So I am trying to figure out what are our options are for after the MSEP.

1. We can walk down Main Street and try to find a place to see Celebrate the Magic and Wishes closer to the hub. Will it even be possible to find a spot that late? I guess it would be around 9:30. ??? Not sure how long the parade lasts.

2. If we are tired and thinking of calling it a night, how long will it take to get from the MSEP FP+ location to the TTC dock to view Wishes? Would we have enough time to get there?

Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I was told by a few CM at GR that they did not know why there is no wishes FP and to keep looking so I am hoping there is just some thing wrong. they just build it what 2 or 3 years ago and they run out of FP every night. I hope they are not going to charge for the spot only time will tell.

1. You can stand in the street, because after the parade passes, they no longer hold the street open.

2. Up to 30 minutes, plus. Depending on how many OTHERS will exit MK after the parade.
That might be enough time. Take the Ferry. That way, if you don't make it all the way to TTC, you can
still watch from the Ferry.

HERE ya go.
It's been quite a major and busy topic for about 3 weeks on these boards.

1. Nope. They built the Wishes FP+ areas within the last year.

2. The sad situation seems to be pretty well documented HERE by Cast Members inside the loop.

Looking for the same answer, for the very next day! Lol

Sorry to hijack..

Am I correct that watching Wishes is not ideal from the MSEP FP+ location, but we can follow the parade in the street to a good viewing spot?

And.. if only half of our group has MSEP FP+, is there anywhere they could be nearby to meet up with us and follow the parade--or am I underestimating the crowds and it'd be impossible to find each other?

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. They should grab a spot near the Fire Station or City Hall.
Both parties need cell phones. Any group who splits up at WDW needs cell phones.
