Crystal Palace Lunch

Our ADR for Crystal Palace is at 2pm as the Parade starts in MK. I believe I'm right there is some view from some tables of the parade - is that something you can request be it in advance or when you arrive?

Just trying to visualise a view from inside Crystal Place with a view of the parade. Even if there was one then there is a strong likelihood that people would be standing on the outside veranda to watch the Parade

That makes sense, so with that in mind I presume there is no issue and they are used to people wanting to view the parade during their table booking?

According to Touring plans you can see the Main Street parades in the conservatory.
Not sure how great the view would be as there are trees and probably a load of people in the way.

Also Disneyfoodblog says you can request a window table.

You can make requests but that would potentially delay your seating.

I don't think any table would give your a decent view of the parade at all tbh. Too far away plus loads of people outside gathered to watch the parade.

I would imagine they are...but to get a decent view I would imagine you would have to go outside and stand up.

I think the other issue is you may not get a good view of those characters/dancers on ground level as they would be obscured by people stood along the pathway of the parade so therefore may only see the floats and those stood at the top of them

Thank you all. Viewing the parade is not a deal breaker for us it's just mums first so if she can take a peak between hugs with Pooh that would be great. We'll just have to make sure we catch the Move It Shake It Party I think
