So, we will be going to the party on Oct 3, and I don't want to spend many hours to get a prime spot for the fireworks and parade. However, I still want to enjoy them and have my son be able to see them. What is a good spot for the fireworks that does not require a huge amount of time to camp out???
Keep a close watch on this thread when the first reports start coming in from the first parties. People will report whether Halloween Screams has projections on IASW and on Main Street, in addition to the castle, this year. If so, that will open up your options for viewing quite a bit. We usually read the early party reviews, then decide where we want to be. Once we're at the party, we walk by our chosen area once or twice to make sure that we like it. Then, about an hour or so before fireworks are scheduled, we make sure to be in the general area so that we can keep an eye on how things are filling up. When the crowds start building, we choose our spots and stay until the show. There is no set time for this. It could be an hour before or a little longer or as little as 20 minutes before the show. The more flexible you are about where you view (do you have to be right in front of the castle? Would viewing from IASW be fine?), the less time you'll have to wait. How old is your son? If he is small, please do not put him on your shoulders so that he blocks the view of guests behind you. If he is on your hip with his head fairly level with yours, he'll be able to see just fine. And if you view from the castle area, try to be on the right side of the Hub or Main Street without trees blocking your view. You don't have to be really close up for a good view, but the view is better from the right side.
