Earlier this month, we were at AK and decided to skip the parade since we have already seen it. We decided that yet another (I think it was third time that day) safari ride was in order for our animal loving family.
Well, the safari was a walk-on, because so many people were standing on the parade route, and we had a great ride with a very funny guide. As we walked back up toward the rest of the park, we saw that we were just in time for the beginning of the parade as it was headed backstage.
We were almost standing alone on the street, my kids had great interaction with the characters (and even dh got included). We were so pleasantly suprised and enjoyed the parade even more!
This of course would only work at AK, but I've decided it is a great way to get a good spot without staking it out an hour before parade time!
