I think I may be the only one in my family of four (me, DH, DD5, DS3) that is super excited about our upcoming trip (Dec. 1-8 at the Poly). I was up at 4:45am on Sept. 2nd to obtain my first choice ADRs and have all park schedules, and ADR confirmation numbers plugged into my iPhone. Even downloaded the WDW wait time app. So....here is my issue:
We have CRT ADR at 9:05 Saturday Dec. 5, the EXACT same day the taping of the Christmas day parade is occuring.
I have had dreams of entering the park before everyone else and having a picture taken of my family in front of the Walt and Mickey statue with Cindy's castle in the back, sans other people. Now, I am afraid that main street is going to be lined up and packed way before the "rope drop".
Question is - in years past, does anyone know what time people who are participaing in the crowd portion of the parade start lining up? Is there any hope for a random person free picture? I know it really doesn't matter in the long run, and that if this is the biggest disappointment, then I am set. Just want to prepare myself. Thanks for any help you can give.
