10 of the Best Places to Watch the “Festival of Fantasy” Parade at Magic Kingdom

1.  The Hub around Cinderella’s Castle

One of the most popular and most crowded parade watching sites is the circular hub around Cinderella’s Castle.  Here you not only get a great view of the parade, but if you get the right spot, you also get an excellent view of Cinderella’s Castle as the backdrop of all your photos.  The atmosphere is alive with the magic of Disney.  This is like the focal point of the parade, and the street performers and Disney characters on the floats really come alive around the Hub.  Because this area fills up quickly prior to the parade, it’s a good idea to pick your spot at least an hour ahead of the parade.

No matter where you watch the Festival of Fantasy parade from, you will be delightfully entertained.  The floats are extraordinary, the street performers are outstanding, and the Disney characters on the floats are so enthusiastic; waving, dancing, singing, and pleasing the crowds along the entire parade route.  It’s a delightful, amusing stage show on the move that you don’t want to miss!
