We will, guaranteed.
Ditto everything he said. The farther you go down the river, the more likely you are to get a good-enough Fantasmic spot at that 30 min point. You can make the later Fantasmic just fine after the fireworks - just go straight there, and you'll only have to wait about 30min.
You have to go through Adventureland to get there, even though it'll be awfully crowded. They don't let you through Frontierland after that point for crowd control reasons.

First of all, if you want to watch watch fireworks from the Rivers, you'll be seeing the early (9pm) Fantasmic. They don't do fireworks twice, and you won't have to move.
I suggest that after Fantasmic (or after Fireworks if you do Fantasmic then Fireworks) that you do not try to get out of the area unless you want to take the train. Ride Mansion, ride Splash, ride Pirates...or take the train out of there. Walking anywhere else is going to be a pain, especially if you take our far-side-Fantasmic-viewing advice. If you are tired and want to go straight back to the hotel, jump on the train and take a grand circle tour to Main Street Station.
I don't have any parade spots...don't know too much about where a good stop point is. Definitely worth catching the 50th one, it's a pretty parade. The Block Party Bash is a fun stop if you're over at DCA - not worth dropping everything and crossing the esplanade for though. If you're there, find the parade as it's moving, then when it stops find a spot to watch it where you can see a float plus the space between floats with the huge cones. Lots of cool stuff is done with the cone area, so don't just look at the float. I liked the Monster's Inc. section best. It shouldn't be super crowded to the point where you can't get a spot at the last minute - we're talking about DCA here.
There isn't really a standing meet anymore, at least so far as the LoT is concerned. Ye Olde Sunday Hub Meet has been reclaimed by fans of Al and is now full of MiceChatters. You may want to check it out.
How exciting that you haven't been since 2001! A lot has changed since those dark Pressler days.
