Have you ever been to the night parade at MK? If so you think Illuminations is better?
We did "try" to do the night parade at MK last August.
For us, to really enjoy the parade, we would have to be near the front couple of rows. And in order to do that, you have to stake out your spot far in advance. My five year old doesn't have the patience for that.
I tried putting her on my shoulders, but it was too much for my back (we did a kind of piggy back thing for a few minutes) and then I gave up, and we took advantage of the shorter lines for rides during the parade. She just couldn't see enough with all of the crowds. It was a pretty parade, but it wasn't that exciting (at least without a good spot to watch from).
Illuminations was much more exciting for us. And we did not have to stake out a spot too far in advance. When the voice comes over the loudspeaker and the lights go out in the park and the torches are lit and the fireworks and lasers go off and the music swells....oh, my, it is the most amazing show.
