Where is the "preferred viewing" area for Wishes?

[jenjersnap]

It comes with our Silver package and we can make the ressie in a few more days for our night. Is the view pretty good from the spot? Are there places to sit or is it just a roped in area? Here's my big question - Spectro is happening that night as well. Can you see the parade from the reserved section? (Can you tell I am clueless about the parade route?) If so, is the reserved section available earlier, i.e., can we stand/sit there to see Spectro as well as Wishes? With two small kids, I am trying to simply my life and my vacation as much as possible. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

The viewing area for Wishes is across from the Plaza restaurant. It's the patio with the tables/chairs (you'll get to sit!). It is roped off, remember to bring your vouchers so they'll let you in. It's a decent view, but there are some trees in the way. Someone else could probably answer your Spectro question better than me. We've only seen it as we were walking into the park under the train station.

I'd say, scope it out during the day. Last year we watched the parade, and then rushed to what we THOUGHT was the viewing area. We couldn't figure out why there was no-one there to take our voucher. In all the bustle, we had gone to the wrong place. But still, had an amazing view - Tinkerbell flew right over us!

I'm not positive that you'll be able to view the Spectomagic parade well from the Wishes viewing area. But it's super close to the street, so you'll have no trouble going from the parade route to the Wishes viewing area.

That being said, be sure that you make your reservation for the viewing area!
