“What time is the three o’clock parade?”  ”Where does the Main Street Electrical Parade begin?”  Now that I have your attention, let’s talk Walt Disney World Parades.  People waver back and forth about the best viewing spots, time to grab a spot, and even etiquette when it comes to parades at the most magical place on earth.  Today, I want to share with you some of the best spots to view the parades at each park.

Magic Kingdom Park:

• Just in front of the Liberty Boat is a great location.  There is an outdoor food cart, that usually sells fresh fruits and other snack items.  This is a GREAT place to catch each parade at Magic Kingdom.  The people here are rarely three deep, and it is also a spot where cast members put up the “entrance/exit” poles with the ropes.
• As you enter Magic Kingdom, stay to the right of Main Street USA.  As you pass the bakery and ice cream shoppe, there are some tables just at the end, before it leads off to Tomorrowland.  These tables are a great spot for the Celebrate a Dream Come True, Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! especially.  Also, think about the photos you’ll be taking-if you venture down Main Street, toward the “hub”, you’ll likely get Cinderella’s Castle in the background.
• Frontierland-The platform, in front of the Shooting Arcade is a great viewing spot, too.  Plus, if you are here for the MSEP, you’ll have a decent view of Wishes.  OR, you can hit Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain with little wait after the parade passes.
