Was there yesterday, Tuesday June 17. The parade route (I was in Main Street Town Square) was insanely crowded. After the parade, I wanted to be by the flower market area, but there was no way to get there from town square because of how they directed traffic. End up in town square, so you can't really see the projections on Main Street. After fireworks, went thru the new side corridor which wasn't so bad. but once we got out by the corndog stand, it was insane again. it took a good 5 minutes or more to get from the corndog stand to Star Tours. After Star Tours, it was easy sailing. Suggest watching the 2nd showing of the parade. Definitely a lot less people. If you can't see the fireworks from Main St, Small would could be a good alternative with much less people, but, you'll miss Tinkerbell, Nemo, the flamethrower in front of the castle, and the Matterhorn effects. Don't even bother trying to leave the park after the fireworks. You might as well stay where you are for 30 minutes and relax while the crowds disapates.

There were some attraction posters along the way, but these photos show the gist of it For what it is, I think it's just about right. It's "themed" enough that you don't feel like you're walking through an industrial garbage pit, but not so nice that you actually want to linger any. It's being used sparingly, and the vast majority of guests will still use Main Street as their main entry/exit route. No, it's not the fancy arcades from Paris, but I think it's perfectly serviceable for what's needed

Anyone coming into the park will be directed to it - this makes sense because of the mass exidous of people leaving the park on Main St - might as well make them walk thru the stores to buy stuff on their way out - and we'll cash in on the guests coming into later - genius. On the corridor, they have posters, and now they also have vendor carts there selling various light up merchandise.

Problem is, I don't know how to get there without staking out a spot early for the first parade. When I saw it from IASW, I thought I could just follow then end of the parade and walk all the way to MS - but NO, they stop people before Alice. I don't know if they would do that if you were at the hub. But if you were at the hub, that'll be pretty good to. Will try again on Sunday! Don't know why they didn't put projections on Town Square.
