Disney Parade at Disneyland
You can also check the Times Guide at the Magic Kingdom theme park for schedule and show times. Other segments of the annual broadcast included The Walt Disney Studios, Disney Adventures, Disney Institute and Disney Cruise Line. The program has aired annually since 1983, with exceptions in 2000 when Disney aired a Christmas Eve "Tracking Santa" special instead.
The course included a site visit to the Magic Kingdom, headquarters of Cinderella’s castle, to understand the "business behind the magic" as the workshop manual puts it. This fantastical place is home to all sorts of Disney characters, with many of them parading down the streets multiple times per day. However, clocking in at 15 minutes long or more from float to float, they’re also the biggest time commitment, especially if you want to get a front-row seat in a good spot along the parade route. He has also written pieces that are featured in Disneyland and Hong Kong Disney theme parks. In 2006 we stayed at riverside for 5 nights, dining included plus all tips included. I feel like MK is the only park where I’m willing to purchase it as an add on in the future if I even choose to do so.
Located right near the start of the parade route, this is a great spot if you want to catch the parade before running to get in line for Splash Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad – and hopefully beat most of the crowds. For the biggest head start, stand on the same side as these Parade Magic Kingdom mountains facing Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Café. Much of Town Square near the park entrance offers up some of the best views of the Magic Kingdom parade, as well as picturesque photo backdrops. For slightly off-center views with Cinderella Castle rising in the background, post up near the flagpole off to the left of the Sharing the Magic statue across from the Fire Station facing up Main Street. Things tend to get pretty crowded along the route before the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, especially at the more popular viewing locations in Magic Kingdom.
Not only does the quick-service restaurant tout a few riverfront dining pavilions, but Expedition Everest soaring above the lagoon makes for an undeniably atmospheric backdrop. Another great parade viewing location nearby is in front of or from the top of the Train Station. While the higher vantage point is perfect for keeping your sightline clear, watching from the loading platform can get packed. Fortunately, standing in front of the Train Station from the ground will also provide you with excellent views. Holiday finest and Santa Claus himself, this yuletide treasure is sure to leave you feeling festive.
