Best spot for DHS parade??

chottsy · 10-09-2008

so, where do you like to sit /stand for the parade?? (obviously we would prefer to sit! lol)

mickeysgirlz · 10-09-2008

When we were they are CM told us to stand near the Hat for the best view . . . but honestly, I think standing Hollywood Blvd would be best, then you can see all 3 stops . . . It's high energy and a lot of FUN!!

We stood on Hollywood Blvd and had a brilliant view and we came to the parade 'late' and still managed to get a front view-

We have seen a lot by standing by the Indiana Jones gift shop.

senacm · 10-09-2008

I also like Indiana Jones gift job, there are benches close to it.

In front of Mulholland Madness. Oh sorry, that only works in Disney's California Adventure.

Haven't seen it up close since it's come to Florida.

It really depends on which unit you want to watch. If it's the Toy Story Unit, stand near the top of the street but before you get to the Hat. The little grove area. If it's the Monster's Inc. Unit you want (and it better be on days when I'm performing in Block Party

) then stand near the tip board by Hollywood Blvd. If it's the Bug's Life Unit you want, stand at the end of the street by the Camera shop. That's for the first show stop mind you. The 2nd one, you guys are on your own

Oh my dear, THERE IS NO SITTING for this parade. If you're not on your feet dancing, partying, and having a great time, YOU WILL get called on. So my advice, get out in the street when they open up for the Dance Break and get involved as much as you can. The more into it you guys are, the better the performance you will get from us. I promise.

Matt sure knows his stuff!!!

You work this parade too? Do tell us more . . .

**Dana** · 10-09-2008

Any curb near the entrance near the shops. Grab a spot about 45minutes before it starts.

What else would you like to know? I help Sulley, Mr. Incredible and Frozone in the parade (haven't gotten to work with the last 2 yet

) and have the time of my life every time I get to perform.

thanks dana, apparently you understand the desire to "cop a squat" during a parade...it gives my feet a much deserved rest!

so from all the responses i have somewhat gathered that......basically anywhere along the parade route is a good spot!

seriously...thanks everyone for weighing in.

Rowdy...do you think you will be working the same parade in Dec?
if so, i want to devise some sort of signal to say "hi" to you...unless me screaming "hi rowdy" works best.
