Fast Pass for Parade Times?

Have you heard about the Fastpass for Parade Times to get a prime viewing spot?

What do you think?

I haven't heard of the fast pass for parades. I know there is a special section for AAA members to view parades but you have to call and make a reservation for it. It may only be during the week. I called last year to try to get a spot on the Saturday I was there by myself and I can't remember if there weren't any seats available or it was offered that day.

Hmmmm interesting. It might be good for lazy's like me who refuse to sit in a spot for an hour before the parade just to get a good spot..therefore they end up behind a million people and don't get to see very much. I'll have to see reports of how it works before I get too excited about it.

hummm.... not sure if it will work, but again it would make life easier so you dont have to sit in the sometimes baking heat for ages to make sure you get a good view... dunno how people will feel about it though

I like the idea but not sure how well it would work. I would be interested to see how the testing goes. I can't help but wonder how many passes will go unused. A group of people get the passes and decide to take a break from the park and not make it back in time for the parade. Now there are X amount of tickets unused that someone else could have benefited from.

I think it would be good if it works. It's a bummer they stop testing it the day before we get there Sad

OOoo that could be interesting. I don't usually sit around and wait for the parades. I would love to have some sort of fast pass seating for the electrical parade, that might be nice for my family. I agree that there could be the potential for a lot of unredeemed passes though.

I don't know if I like this idea very much. I've almost stopped going to the Studios since they started using fast passes for the shows there just cause they're so hard to get and I really don't like to plan my days in the parks that much. But I suppose that even with all the fastpasses used for parades there would still be ways to see them. I'll just have to wait and see I guess.
