Greetings, Molly!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks for your question. I just can't believe that the
Main Street Electrical Parade is back again to light up Disneyland Park through September 30, 2019! This is such an iconic piece of Disneyland history, and I'm so glad we can all experience the magical lights and energetic music one last time until it glows away for good.
Many Guests have friends or family "hold" spots on Main Street, U.S.A. or along the parade route all the way to "it's a small world." Members of your party who have trouble standing for long periods of time are welcome to set a blanket on the curb, sit, and relax for a while before the parade starts anywhere along the sides of the parade route. Another option, though, that I think will be more appealing is to book a
Plaza Inn Dining Package. This includes a meal at Plaza Inn that you can pick up during select times of the day. With your meal you will get a voucher to return to a reserved standing viewing area to watch the parade later that night. This will ensure that your family gets a prime parade view without having to sit, stand, or wait for a long time before the parade actually begins. This is also one of my favorite restaurants at the Disneyland Resort serving up the best fried chicken! I always have to have a meal here during my trips so it's definitely worth it to book this dining package where you also get the added bonus of parade viewing!
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions. Have a magical day!
