We enjoy watching the parades in frontierland. It's no as crowded as main st - Schramke  313.7 #14 12:17PM

We like to be right outside Main Street Bakery - tomevans13  155.5 #36 7:48AM

We like to be right around Casey's for the electrical parade and either main street in front of n of the stores (for shade and coolness from the stores air) or in frontier land by the merchantile - mmddgp  178.1 #27 9:03AM

At DL we've enjoyed the train station area for watching parades. At WDW, where ever we can get a spot. - jacdanfan  2607.4 #19 9:13AM

For the electrical parade...again, up in the train station =) for the daytime parades, especially Move It Shake It Celebrate It, the round about infront of the castle*+.*+.*+. - CinderellaPrincess85  168.8 #30 11:33AM

I love main street by the ice cream palor during the day. At night main street by the train - 5disneylovers  341.2 #11 2:43PM

we have sat right in front of the castle for MSEP, and then turn around and watch Wishes...it has been perfect for us. Crowded, yes, but it was a great seat! For the daytime parades, we try to just catch a spot anywhere....we are usually on the go and then realize its almost parade time..haha!! Haven't had a bad spot yet, although, I would LOVE to find a shady spot someday...always end up in the scortching sun!! - ncjal  116.7 #43 5:14PM

How early does everyone stake out their spots??? - CollegeDisneyKnowledgeGrad  393.8 #6 9:47PM

Like to stake out a spot early on main street or near the plaza restaurant (by those umbrella tables) w/some ice cream:D - mickeynme  102.3 #45 11:49PM

For me right now the best place to see the main street musical parade is from right here in Cali on mouse wait Florida on my bed through pictures lol - Hendizl  1309.5 #61 7:25AM

Based on my experience when I saw MSEP, I have 2 favorite spots. 1. The Main street railroad station platform area (just stand in front of someone's stroller to get a good pic). 2. Frontierland area, it may be a longer wait, but it is not that crowded, just make sure be on the front row so that no one is blocking you... The Hub / Castle area is the prime seating coz it offers a great backdrop for a picture (Cinderella castle). - otilegna  862.0 #106 6:22PM
