Where to watch 11:00 Paint the Night Parade?

[Sjwillia]

I am planning to watch 9:00 F! and then fireworks from a preferred dining section. I would then like to see the late parade. I assume main street will be full and I thought I might find something close to Small World. I worry about the traffic patterns imposed from the Rivers of America and if I can even get over there. Does anyone have any experience with watching the late parade after F! and fireworks?

We just watched the 11 pm parade last night. Snagged a seat in Town Square on a little green planter facing toward where the parade comes out. We were even able to remain seated to watch the parade itself because there were not huge crowds.

Glad to hear this as we may try to do the same thing as OP when we're there in a couple weeks. 11:00 parade goes from Main Street towards IASW, correct?

Anyone else have more details on the late parade and where best to wait/view, especially after doing F! And fireworks?

Thanks!

Yes, the parade I saw at 11 started in Town Square. The only thing I noticed (and I have not watched any other parades... Not a normal part of my visits) is that from where I was sitting right where the floats came out, sometimes the music was difficult to listen to due to the floats that had gone around the circle behind us as they headed down Main Street.

In other words, the different floats were playing different songs and a couple of times it was hard to clearly hear the one in front of us. Sorry for the broken up posts... I am writing from the phone.

I noticed that too when we watched Soundsational in that area.

I think we will plan on watching the late parade too.
