If you've been to Disneyland lately, you experienced something like this... You're making your way down a crowded Main Street dodging people walking towards you when suddenly someone appears below you sitting on the curb, saving a spot for a parade that doesn't start for another 5 hours. Pretty annoying.
Disneyland has taken notice of the problem too. They've implemented new parade viewing policy to crack down on people saving spots on the sidewalk all day long.
Guests will not be allowed to find a seat for the parade until Disney cast members have appropriately sectioned off viewing areas along the parade route. This will happen 30-60 minutes before the parade starts.
There's also no saving spots for anyone, so make sure your whole crew is with you when you pick a spot for the parade.
If a cast member catches you trying to save you spot before the allowed time, they will ask you to get up and move.
