Wishes FP Area

[horse11]

We are planning on getting a FP for Wishes in hopes we can see the Castle show that happens 15 minutes before. For all that have used the Wishes FP how well can you see the Castle Projection Show? I have been told you should get there a half hour before so if Wishes is at 10:00 that would mean we should arrive by 9:30. How difficult would it be to get to the FP with the 9:00pm Electrical Parade?

Wondering the same thing.

We could see the castle very well. We positioned ourselves against the back of the Wishes FP+ area, and we were not crowded at all. We arrived before the parade started, so I can't say how hard it would be arriving after. We grabbed dessert and headed into the FP+ area just before 8pm when Wished was at 9pm.

It's a great area for viewing

What time did the parade start? How hard was it to get to the FP spot since I would imagine everyone is looking for a spot to see the parade which could make that area more crowded

Parade was at 8pm, and we arrived maybe 7:50pm to the Wishes FP+ area. They have pathways now that you HAVE to keep moving on, no standing at all, so it was pretty easy to get there.

Are this pathways located in sidewalks or in the streets ?

Would be possible to move with a double stroller from 7 pm MSEP FP area to the 8 pm wishes FP area after the parede is finished?

Seemed like it was a little of both, but mainly street. It was our first visit since the new area around the hub was opened, and also it was dark. They're really serious about no standing in that area, and that's a good thing! Some people were very irate about being told they couldn't stand, but there are very good reasons to keep paths clear.

It could be done, but I think I would choose a place close to the Wishes FP+ area to watch the parade so that the distance you have to travel is short. Remember that there are 2 Wishes FP+ areas, both on the right and the left, so you'd have a view good parade viewing options.

Well considering 2 different and not so close locations, double stroller plus hundreds of people I think we may end up just using the FP for the parede.
I can't see us walking against the crowed Main Street to watch fire works. It's just too much with a double stroller.

So town square would be closer to exit the park once the fire work is finished right?

Have a good trip!

Definitely, that would be the closest area to the exit. When we want to escape quickly after Wishes, we watch from upstairs at the Main Street Railroad station. I'm not sure how that would work with a stroller, but I'm not sure if there is an elevator there for the stroller.

Technically how early can you arrive to the FP wishes area?

 

[ciera321]

If I'm not mistaken, you're allowed to enter about 2 hours prior to Wishes.

Correct.

So can you sit in that area and watch the Electrical Parade? Or is the view kind of off or blocked?

You can watch, but you won't be able to see everything. Your view will definitely be partially blocked. We could see the larger, taller floats, and that was fine for us, but may not be for everyone.
