Wait times during parade

[creamypuffs]

Today was my 60th day and at midnight, I was able to score all my top priorities - Anna & Elsa meet, FF Parade, Toy Story Mania FP+.

The times aren't ideally what I wanted but I'll make it work.

Question.... the FP+ times I got changes my touring schedule a bit. Just curious if people notice shorter wait times during the parade hour?

Since we got FP+ for the parade at MK, I was hoping to skip the parade on the 2nd day that we go and hit some rides then or the character meet and greets. Do people generally see a much shorter wait time when everyone is lining up for the parade?

Thanks!

I guess it depends on which parade and how busy the park is. For the 3:00 parade, I don't think you'll see much of a decrease in lines, but you will see an increase in lines at nearby attractions after the parade passes by. For the first MSEP (often 9:00), you may see some lines shorten, but that could also be attributed to some leaving the park. The second MSEP, if happening at 11:00, doesn't seem to have much impact on lines. Not that many are usually watching it anyway.
