Thanks again Towmater, you've been a great help!

I still say the alice float show stop is the best, the dance is exciting, featuring a lot of characters and performers, quite a complex dance for everyone in suits bar the mad hatter too, and it's also one the cutest as they really play up to the song, especialyl shown in this link:

I still feel slightly un impressed with this parade, as for me it seems very messy and the dances arn't that impressive compared to past things, there's no proper set out routine and the sadly I feel there arn't enough entertainers, but then again, I have not seen it in person. I am told it's a very different experience, so lets hope so.

Hi everyone, I will be visiting DLP on the 11th of July and am wondering if anyone knows where is the best place to wacth the parade? are the parade stops similar to the stops of fantillusion parade?? I know we can only see all three stops of fantillution parade at the central plaza but what about this new parade??

We always stay at the Main STreet USA, near the Railroad Station (the Place in the Middle), from there you can watch along Main Street USA and see the parade comes closer and closer.

From there you can make very good photos. And the Parade-Stops are not so spectacular as the Stops from Fantillusion.

It's best to see this parade at Casey's Corner or near Sleeping Beauty Castle where you get 2 show stops, The Pooh stage is a good view to see the parade but it might get too crowded (Only 1 show stop) or down Main Street USA is also a good place where you get a great view of the castle (1 Show stop) Or where the parade route ends, You'll see the Imgation show stop and see the gates closing.

You can see show stops over YouTube and Dailymation.

:) This Parade was just like I dreamed it and more. The main thing I couldn't get over was the scents that accompanied the floats. :D They were just so good! And the floats themselves were beautiful. And the performers that went with the floats were brilliant too. :P Everything was perfect!

*Will type up an in-depth review in her Trip Report*

:o We got to see the Alice stop, the Jungle Book stop and the Princess stop! :lol: We actually saw the Princess stop twice because we wanted a better view the 2nd time.

Masamune, It sounds like you had great fun while watching the parade, 3 show stops in 1 day is good aswell.

Each float has their own scent which represents that style. (eg. Dreams of Adventure - Cirtis Fruits ect)
