Where to view MSEP without FP+?

Not sure we're going to get a FP for the Electrical Parade. So where is the best place to view it without the FP?

If there is a night that has 2, I highly recommend seeing the later one. We stood in front of Pecos Bills over Memorial Day weekend for the second parade of the night. Perfect spot and barely anyone around.

I highly recommend right in front of liberty tree tavern. Lots of great viewing spots.

Personally, I think that pretty much any spot along the parade route is a good spot. I try to make sure I'm not on the inside of a bend*, but other than that, I like most spots I've viewed the parade from (Main Street near Emporium or by Tony's Town Square, in front of the castle, Liberty Square near the Hall of Presidents, Frontierland near LTT and the pin shop).

*If you're on the inside the bend, then you won't see the parade until it passes right in front of you. I try to find a spot where I have a clear view of the parade route for a bit so that I can see the parade coming!

We like to go upstairs at the train station.

Frontierland. We watched the Festival of Fantasy and the MSEP there at the beginning of the summer. Very easy. We were just to the right of the Country Bear Jamboree on a low stone planter. Perfect view and not crowded at all. Good luck and have fun.

I like in Town Square, especially if I'm leaving right after.

Ditto! We did the same thing last June. We watched the 2nd parade from the porch of Pecos Bills. I got there about 10:45 (parade started at 11:00 but doesn't get back there until about 11:25ish) with 3 of my kids to relax and save seats for DH & DD. There was no one else on the porch when I got there. Even when DH & DD got there at about 11:10, there were only a few other people on the porch and DH and DS sat on a bench (or something) on the porch. We took advantage of short lines and hit a few rides while the early parade and Wishes were going on (we watched Wishes a different night on our trip).

another vote for Frontierland, around CountryBear or Pecos Bill. Never as crowded as Main Stret and plenty of viewing.

If you use a FP for MSEP, you'll be unable to get a possible 4th (or more) after using all your original.

This is my favorite spot, too.

We never watch MSEP on Main Street, too crowded. We never have problems finding a spot in Liberty Square or Frontierland.
