main st railroad benches

[mf1972]

came back from a trip a few weeks ago & was wondering...are the benches on the upper level by the main st railroad a preferred area only to watch a parade or fireworks, or can anyone sit there?

Unless something's changed, anybody can sit there, but it does fill up very quick and early for parades and fireworks, though.

Yes anyone can stand/sit there however it's not always a good experience. Eg we staked that area out in advance however the minute the paraded started everyone decided to climb up and it became extremely crowded up there.

Great place to watch the retreat ceremony each evening. They do a great job and it looks so patriotic.
Walt would be proud.

I love to just sit there and people watch.

Years ago( 2009 I believe) we went up there to watch the parade only to find it roped off. It was closed so Mariah Carey and her entourage could watch the parade up there.

In all fairness, she probably got there first.

It just seemed like such a waste. The whole platform roped off for about 10-15 people
