Hey folks, heading to wdw in August and want to try to catch the new parade somewhat early in our trip. Since plans ALWAYS work out like the benefit of trying earlier in the week. If those plans potentially fail catching it later in the week or a second time if possible.
We are staying deluxe near Epcot which has eh on Monday.
Would you aim for parade on Sunday and take full advantage of EH on Monday and likely scope out a spot in Frontierland to be at the end? Or would you try for the parade Monday aiming for main street for the start and then monorail to Epcot for a brief period of EH then head back to the hotel?
The only other evening during the week we could catch the parade potentially would be Wednesday and I don’t want to leave that as our only option.
I am leaning towards Sunday with the Monday fall back if there are weather issues Sunday.
We also have adr at via Napoli both nights so I will obviously cancel that whichever night we go to the parade. Epcot fireworks are not crazy important for us (will try to watch from our resort check in day) and we have fantasmic built in already with a later in the week weather fallback. MK fireworks do not need to be same night as parade.
What would you do? Or what are your plans?
