DCA's World of Color

[innerSpaceman]

Even when I scoped out Paradise Park a few weeks ago, I instantly realized that unless someone of my stature got there hours and hours before to be up against the bayside railing, I would miss the entire show. I suppose since I would get to lean on that railing, the four hours of standing might be tolerable.

Um, not.

I think I'll content myself with whatever we can see from the Scrooge/Wenchybeth balcony or bathroom window or whatever offers a view toward DCA, even if that means the east deck of the Grand Cal Lobby - where you get a slight glimpse.

K says it's "EPIC," but I'm more inclined to believe Prudence's Greatest Hits Love Child of Fantasmic Blurry Water Screens and Bellagio Fountains Now With Color. And I've seen for myself that a guy my size better get front row - or simply not bother. Or maybe I could bring a periscope.

I was about as far from the water as you could get and dead center. The view from the top tier (think same level as the parade route) in the Yellow section is perfect. We got in at 7:30 and were able to snag a spot almost right against the railing. From there you have a towering view over everyone (even if you are shorter!) and you can see pretty much everything, including the low fountains. Sure we had to get up early to get the FPs, but we spent the day napping and didn't arrive back into DCA until around 7:15. We were also allowed to stay seated until about 15 minutes before the preshow which was very nice.
