Hello, GarrettJD. If you want to try this, you can park your mobility
scooter anywhere along the parade route that you think that you may like. If you have ever watched the cast members before a parade put the parade line poles in the street, they have little holes with a metal cap they remove before putting the poles into. You can guesstimate the line between any two pole holes and place your mobility scooter there and adjust forward or backward when they actually set up the parade line strips.
When parking on the sidewalk, of course, you have a curb to locate where you can stop your mobility scooter.
I used to always park at the sidewalk curb facing forward. But when the standing crowds come into the left and right of me, I can only see what is straight ahead of me and not to my left or right of me because of all the standing guests because of the mobility scooter I sit about two persons back from the sidewalk curb.
I started backing my scooter up backward, carefully, to the curb's edge. I turned my mobility scooter's seat around and now my body and eyes were mostly even with all of the other guests so that I can see the parade to left and right of me like everyone else.
I just say this if you don't want to watch a parade in the handicap areas.
For watching the parades, here are some MK photos.
Here is a photo of Magic Kingdom City Hall, restrooms, and the Fire Department. The Disney cast members are playing jump rope and they still have the poles up for a parade. I haven't seen the accessible area for mobility scooters since they moved it to this area supposedly in front of the City Hall/restroom area.
If you were wondering why they moved the handicap area, Robo's map shows that MK Tony's Dining Package is using the space and actually a lot more three times the space, so it seems that they moved the handicap parade viewing to the other side of the street.
This is not a very good photo and it is older. You can see the wheelchair area on the left lower part of the photo during a slow day, I think. It is located on the center island and on the lower quarter segment of the island. It takes up about one-quarter of the center island in front of the castle. I notice that they don't have the poles and ropes up in this photo like they usually do. If you were looking straight at the castle it would be located on a clock at between the 3:00 o'clock and the 6:00 o'clock area of the center circle at the end of Main Street.
This is a photo of the Frontierland accessible viewing area. They have the rope and poles up on this one. Across from the handicap, area is the Hall of Presidents.
The handicapped areas for wheelchairs/mobility scooters photos are listed below.
In the photo above you may be able to see a guest with some orange color on his shirt squatting down. That area between the two white columns against the white concrete wall all the way to the left is the area for parking your mobility scooter to watch the fireworks. They have those short little columns and a wrought iron fence, then a grassy area with a water fountain. Disney cast members will have the roped off area closer to fireworks time. That large area at the bottom of the photo is presently reserved for paid guests at the dessert party during fireworks. The earlier you get there, the more likely you can park your mobility scooter right up against the fence to watch the fireworks. The Disney cast members will allow more rows behind the first row with the ropes and poles.
This side is on the right and there is another space on the left side below.
And this is your view for the fireworks from behind the fence. The photo was taken right before closing with the streets empty.
Here is another view of the fireworks viewing area from the opposite direction on the other side. On this side, you can see in the background Casey's Restaurant outside table umbrellas and to the right the Crystal Palace.
This Robo's great map.
