Quote from: "disney_dudette"I sit on the seats by the stage at the side of Cinderellas Castle, and the front seats were reserved for children and some of the sides werern't reserved so people could sit there, and the walking characters come up close! We got a High 5! WoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoW!

We saw the parade from the terrace just above the stage's seats and it's a good place to take pictures. We had not the chance to interatc with characters as you could do when you are along the road of course.

Have to change my mind to outside Bella Notte now. The Princess floats stop here, it isn't quite as busy and you get head on shots of the floats as they come out the gates and side on shots as they pass by.

We stand by the train station near city hall, it's nt too crowded and you get to see all the floats coming towards you.  It is fantastic.  Great spot for filming and photographs

Like the view from the Station steps but its not so good for filming from as there is a lamp post in the middle of the shot. Always watch the parade from different sides of Main Street so you can see both sides of the floats, best spot is the corner as Main Street opens into the square.

We always watch the parade from Town Square. The best is just at the corner of Emporium. Or just near the gate where the Parade ends. We watched the Parade from IASW queue area, but I don't liked that spot. In my opinion you're not close enough to see all so clearly.

Disneyana, you need to stand outside Bella Notte. That's where I got my Day 3 and 4 photo's from on my recent visit. Awesome views as the Princess floats stop here and you get them all dancing around in front of you.

Yes thank you, as I saw your pics I made a note to stand at this place on my next visit. I hope I will make then some nice pics of the Parade like you did.  :wink:

It's a fairly quiet spot too. You get the first views of the floats as they come out the gates, and you get nice head on shots of the floats as they come towards you, and you're just on a bend, so you also get them turning for side on shots, and rear shots as they move away. The first parade stop is when the last float clears these gates, which is the second Dreams of Romance float, so you're right between the two Princess floats at this point, so you get some great pictures of Belle and the Beast, and Aladdin and Jasmine, who are probably the most difficult characters to photograph on the OUAD parade. I had castmembers comment on that to me too.

Another good thing, is that once the parade has passed you, it's still going on up Main Street for another 15 minutes or so, so you can then nip off into Fantasyland where there are hardly any queues because everyone's watching the parade. Only downside, is you can't get the castle in shot on the parade, but it can be difficult to do that anyway.

I prefer to watch the parades from outside City Hall...it makes it all the more fun to see the parade appear from around the corner! :D
