I was just wondering if we would have enough time to see both the parades or if not, which parade does everyone recommend seeing? Thanks everyone
Originally Posted By Darkbeer I would recommend the Christmas Parade over Block Party Bash. The Christmas Parade is about 20 minutes long if you watch it from the starting point.

The 6:30 PM parade starts at Town Square and ends at iaswh. As for Carnation Plaza Gardens, it is basically in between the entrance to Frontierland and the Castle from the Hub at the end of Main Street.
