route, you can assume that it will take the parade 15-18 minutes to get to you. Some
recent Disney parades have included show stops, meaning that the floats freeze in
place for a few minutes while the cast dances in the streets. When this occurs, show
stop viewing spots will be marked on the park map. There are usually three locations
(two on Main Street and one in Fantasyland), with the Small World Mall providing
the best perspective.
Keep an eye on your children during parades and give them explicit instructions
for regrouping in the event that you get separated. Children constantly jockey for bet-
ter viewing positions. A few wiggles this way and a few wiggles the other, and presto,
they are lost in the crowd. Finally, be especially vigilant when the crowd starts dis-
persing after the parade. Thousands of people suddenly strike out in different direc-
tions, creating a perfect situation for losing a child or two.
