Walking along the parade route in the Gardens of Imagination trying to decide where I want to watch Mickey's Storybook Express Parade from. It starts in 15 minutes.
Passing by the other side of the carousel
The Whistle Stop Shop on Mickey Avenue (Mickey Avenue spreads out on one side of the parade route and the Gardens of Imagination on the other).
Mickey & Pals Cafe
Remy's Patisserie
The Carthay Circle building marks the entrance to Avenue M Arcade.
As you can see this area does not have a big crowd yet.. still 10 minutes to parade time.
Looking up the route though the crowd thickens. I decide I like this location on the curve to minimize guests in front of me.
Plus I get a view of the castle across the street.
The prepared features a family/guest of the day.
My other reason for choosing this location is our plan is to head to Disneytown for lunch after the parade.
Turning to my right and looking back toward Mickey Avenue it has filled in, as the pre-parade passed guests took their spots.
The wind was picking up and the balloon cast member were working hard.
A look at the balloon choices.
Time for the parade. Here are a couple video clips. I took mostly stills but here is a little video to give a sample of the music.
