Where's the best place to watch Spectromagic?

[westcliffemom]

Believe it or not, I've never seen Spectromagic. Where is your "best" place to watch Spectromagic? TIA!

We like to watch in front of the train station at the front of the park.

From Splash Mountain ... but then again, I'm not a big fan of Spectro, so I have no problem watching it in very small doses.

I like to watch it in Frontierland, on the boardwalk in front of CBJ exit, if possible

shhh don't let out my secret but there is a bench by the bridge to liberty sq that spectro crosses and since it has a fence no on can get infront of you but you get to sit on a bench and watch...you are just far enough way to get the effect of the whole float but close enough to get a good view and rest your feet in the process...ah what a life!

We saw it last time from the steps of City Hall. Spectromagic starts right there so we saw all of it and then left the park and were right there.

personally I don't really like spectro- I have a clown thing...

but my fave place to watch any of the parades in general is right by the bridge to liberty square on the mainstreet side.

Because it is dark and Spectro is so captivating, it doesn't really matter where you are. It is gorgeous, you'll love it!

Watched it twice, once at the front of the park and again on the porch of the country bears. Both were good spots.

Thanks for asking cause I haven't seen it either...on the "must do" list this time!

Spectromagic is my favourite parade ever! I like watching it opposite Splash Mountain because there's nobody standing opposite you so you get all the characters' attention.

Never seen it either. Will try for our next trip.

We like to watch it on Main St., in front of Tony's. It's a great view (get there early) and you can leave right after you're done even though the parade is still going on. We make a dash for the ferry over to the GF and we're usually back there before Wishes even starts.

My husband and I waited for three hours to see Spectro, we were along Mina street and we sat down on the sidewalk and actually waited for three hours since we had never seen it and from what I could gather from a lot of people on this site that it was something not to be missed. Well needless to say we will be missing it from now on, we both were so dissapointed with the whole parade. The last time we had been to Disney is when they had the EL parade and that just gave us chills it was so good so I expected Spectro to be as good. So I am glad we were able to see it once but we won't bother with our next trip.

I like being right on Main Street, facing the Confectionary.

We like to sit on the porch in Front of Pecos Bill's in Frontierland. Grab a burger and fries (or their chicken wrap - YUM) and you get dinner and a show!

I have watched Spectro from several places and feel that watching from near the end of the route in the FrontierLand area is far better than the beginning of the route near the fire station / train station.

In the beginning, the CM's are trying to get the parade spacing down, therefore there are delays between floats. Once the parade gets on stage, there are a lot of good spots to see it from. I normally chose the end because the rides thin out during the parade and we can get in a couple before the parade makes Splash Mountain.

We like to sit on main street and then watch Wishes. We never miss it.

I really want to see the Spectromagic parade while we're visiting. Can someone post a link on here that lists the nights they will have it (& Wishes)? Thank you!!!
