    We are headed to DW in two weeks. We have two very small children; how early should we show up for the parades in order to get a good viewing spot for the kids?

    Hi, Brenda!  You will find people camped out along the parade route for some parades - especially at the Magic Kingdom - up to an hour ahead of time!  That's too long for me, especially with small kids.  I usually find that I can start looking for a spot about 20 - 30 minutes ahead of time and still find one that works just fine.  If you plan well enough, you can pick up a snack or drink before you scope out your spot.  That will give the kids something to do while they wait.

    Have a great vacation!
