In reply to Arturo. I was thinking the same thing! We’ll be there next week!

Hello, Tom, and thanks for the always great advice. Today is January 13 and Disney still hasn’t posted parade times for any days in February. Isn’t that unusual? Makes it a little harder to plan. We’ll be there for the infamous Mardi Gras/Presidents’ Day Saturday-Tuesday so I’m sure there will be parades but I’d sure appreciate earlier notice. Hoping MK park times will increase, too. Currently 9-9 on Monday the 16th.

I just wanted to compliment the photos in this post. I know taking photos at night is hard, let alone with low light and avoiding blur. As usual, these are outstanding. Some of them even look 3D!

In spite of New Years week crowds, it was shockingly easy to see this parade. We watched the first parade from the front row in Town square in front of the confectionary showing up ~20 minutes before the start. We still would have been second row <5 minutes before the start. we watched the second parade and another one later in the week from Liberty Square in front of the riverboat landing and that was also easy.

In reply to Liz. We watched from the stockade last week. It's a great spot. The only downside is that you are between two sets of speakers that are timed differently, but once the floats start going by that isn't a big issue and the views are great.
