For the people that found a decent viewing spot for the fireworks after watching the first parade in Frontierland - did you cut through Adventureland to the Hub (a few of you reported doing this, I think)? Is that path open when the parade is moving through the Hub and Main Street? I'm hoping to grab a spot in front of Casey's or near the Walt statue for fireworks, if possible.
Just follow behind the parade.
I wouldn't follow the parade. I would do, and have done last year, exactly what you described by cutting through Adventureland. This was after the second parade and we were trying to get to the last Hocus Pocus show, but the same principle applies now that you need to be up front to see the new fireworks projections. We cut through the path by the bathrooms, made a quick bathroom stop, and made it to the HUB as the parade was rounding. Then we went right to the front by the castle for the show.Is that what you did? I worry it will take a long time because the parade is slow moving and lots of people will be following it, too? Thought maybe a short cut could help!
One thing to keep in mind if you're doing it for the first parade and fireworks, is that a lot of people who watched the parade will stay in their spot for the fireworks. But the parade route itself will open and people can stand on it in front of the castle. Even if you don't get up front, you can get close in front of Casey's and that garden (not sure if it has a name?) Just make sure to ask a CM if there's one nearby if where you're standing is ok if you're unsure. They were moving people last year on the paths to keep some of them open. Not sure if that will be the same this year.
