    Where is the best place to watch the new night parade and fireworks

    Hi Sara,

    I’m absolutely glowing that you stopped by with such a dazzling question because there’s nothing quite like ending your magical day at Walt Disney World Resort with a night parade and a sky full of pixie dust! 

    While there’s always a sprinkle of magic no matter where you stand, let’s talk strategy. If you're hoping to catch the new Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away nighttime parade (hello, instant classic!), the best views are typically along Main Street. I just adore how Cinderella Castle provides a jaw-dropping backdrop, and you'll be wrapped in the energy of the crowd. 

    Po-tip: Be sure to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes early for a spot along the curb. Bonus if you snag one near the Partners Statue, which is like the VIP section for dreamers! 

    Now for the grand finale: and personal favorite, the Happily Ever After fireworks! For the full immersive experience (I’m talking projections, music, and those gasp-worthy pyrotechnics), your best bet is anywhere between Casey’s Corner and the Hub grass area in front of the castle. If you’ve got little Mouseketeers in tow or just need a less crowded escape route, consider the Frontierland bridge or the Tomorrowland Terrace area for a slightly off-center but still magical view.

    Want an even more elevated experience? Consider the decadent dessert parties with reserved fireworks viewing (and treats that’ll make your sweet tooth sing A Whole New World).

    Wherever you end up, be sure to lift your gaze, hold onto your ears (and your heart), and let the night remind you that magic is real! 

    And don’t forget, if you've got more questions before your practically perfect adventure? I’m all ears!

    Wishing you fireworks in the sky and in your heart,
    Emille
