Where is the best place to sit for the Pixar Play Parade, and for the Electric Light Parade? Additionally, how far in advance should we stake out our seats? Thank you.

Where is the best place to sit for the Pixar Play Parade, and for the Electric Light Parade? Additionally, how far in advance should we stake out our seats? Thank you.
Both parades don't feature show stops so pretty much anywhere is a good location. But the Sun Plaza is usually the most crowded, the area in between the Vine and Bugs land is usually not packed.
I like sitting at the benches right outside Napa Rose, usually people don't sit in front of you and it's nice and up close.
I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I love sitting next to the gates at the very end of the parade. I love watching the floats all the way until the very last second!
That's just me, though.

It's usually the reason that it's close to the exit, once the parade ends, you can make a dash out of the park. I always watch it at the beginning for ELP at PP. For PPP, I don't care, I usually skip it.Quote:

Yup, the Peter Pan float stops in front of the Matternhorn, beginning of Main Street and, in Town Square. On the way back, it tops at the end of Main Street and in Fantasyland.Quote:

It seems to me that if you watched the ELP at the start (over by the Pier), then you could cut behind everybody and make it out of the park before the parade got down to them ... correct?
Thats correct.Quote:

Don't mean to bother anyone but it's The Electrical Parade. :)
I've seen these parades a lot and completely agree with all 3 suggestions.Quote:

as for Electrical, I say in front of that San Fran building thats never used. It wont be crowded, you'll have Paradise Pier as a backdrop, and because its not crowded all of the performers will look to you and smile and hold the smile for just about any photo you want to take.
Two questions: Where is the San Fran building in CA? And where do the Pinocchio, Little Mermaid, and Lion King floats have show stops in the Dreams Parade in DL?
