Anyone have experience with Festival of Fantasy parade? We have a 2:30 reservation for April, but are questioning if it is worth the effort. We can “request” a table on the patio, but may be out of luck and/or w we may need to wait a long time.
Can anyone provide some firsthand experience? Is the view and waiting worth the the time away from touring? Also worth noting, we will have a 4 and 2 year old with us. The break coulee be perfect, or could backfire if we are waiting too long.
Can’t wait! 
Don’t have first hand knowledge at Tony’s for FOF parade. I’m not a fan of making ADRS to get a view of parade or fireworks. I like to enjoy my meal without putting pressure on myself or my group. Like you say it could or couldn’t work out, and with 2 littles do you want to spend money at a restaurant that doesn’t get a lot of love. I would try to fast pass it or stake out a spot.I’m guessing you’ll have a stroller so it might not be too bad on them.Good luck on whatever you decide
The FP viewing area is amazing and when I was there everyone had a curb area (no one in front of you). It allowed me to get some amazing photos . That being said, it is full sun. I have watched that parade from multiple places including a last minute arrival to MK (so I arched right in front of the train station). I would just try for another shaded area.
We experienced the FoFP both from the FPP viewing area and from Tony’s last time we were there. The FPP spot was definitely a better location to view the parade.Tony’s was decent, but not ideal.
It was kind of a fluke that we got to see if from the patio at Tony’s. We didn’t get seated until over an hour after our ADR time. Granted, it was a CL9 day, but I still don’t know that I would recommend relying on an ADR to see the parade. They could seat you late, like they did us, or you might not be able to get a patio table.
I know that I took pictures from both spots, and I was going to share one or two of each so you could get an idea of the view. But it looks like I only have the pics I took from the FPP location. Evidently, I didn’t feel the ones I took from Tony’s were worth saving, Maybe just that fact might help you to decide.
