Which parade is better???

[ellie4]

Which parade is better for two little girls that LOVE the princesses and also most the other characters. The Stars parade at MGM or the one at MK?? Thank you!!

I think the MK parade is best for the princesses. However, the MGM parade is cool because you see characters you don't see much else (Darth Vader, Cruella Devil, Pixar characters, Playhouse Disney, etc.). Two totally different experiences - do both!

We just looked for SHADE along the parade route and plopped ourselves down on the curb.
In MK it was along Main Street, which made for an easy escape if we were leaving right after. In MGM - the beginning of the parade route by Star Tours. (In AK we found it was shady right in front of Tusker House - a good parade, but no princesses)

BTW - I don't know whick MK parade you were talking about, but this past trip was the first time I saw Spectromagic and it was AMAZING! Keep in mind (I had forgotten until it started) that one STARTS on Main street and goes up to Frontierland. The other parades go the opposite.

Just our luck that the entire time we will be at WDW in 2007 (Nov 1 - Nov 6) there will be no "Dreams Come True" parade at Magic Kingdom. Only the Spectromagic parade.

For princesses hands down Mk parade. My DD loves the afternoon parade.

I would definitely say MK. You'll find pretty much every princess and favorite Mickey cartoon favorites there. I can't think of anyone you don't see in the afternoon parade.

As far as the best place to view it, as close to the action as you can get. If you can be right up to the ropes along the route someplace you can see great. You just have to plan ahead, know the route and just have a seat and get comfortable about an hour before it starts. We often leave a few people there to wait and hold our spot and send the others to a easy to get on ride or for a snack to eat while we wait. If however you don't want to do that try along main street because they can't get to deep there as they need to leave space for people to get by. Liberty Square works well too because you can stand on the steps to the buildings and be able to see over the crowd a bit better.

For DSMC I love to sit across from Star Tours. It is at the beginning of the parade, and had lots of room to see it. For DDCT I like to sit in front of the Barber Shop on Main Street. This is at the end of the parade.

Just our luck that the entire time we will be at WDW in 2007 (Nov 1 - Nov 6) there will be no "Dreams Come True" parade at Magic Kingdom. Only the Spectromagic parade.

Really? Wow, that's weird.

We like MK's parade much better and I know the princesses are definitely in that one. Its' been a while since we did the stars and motorcars parade at MGM, but that is nice too, just not our fave.

MK parade has many more princesses, but the MGM one was great too! We planned it so we were able to see all the parades!
