My wife and daughter I will be visiting the DLR late May with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. MY MIL hasn't visited the park in 30 YEARS! She's excited to be heading back, but concerned about her ability to walk, stand, and be jostled all day. She's in fairly good health, but walking all day could take its toll.

One of her "must sees" is the MSEP. I told her about the possibility of getting a table at the Golden Vine Winery during the parade, but that it wouldn't be cheap. However, the idea of sitting on the hard ground, standing, or having to reserve a spot on a bench an hour before the parade doesn't excite her.

I just called today and parade-side seating is $60 for adults and $50 for children. I need to hear from my fellow Intercotees if this is worth the expense. I've done the Fantasmic balcony and really enjoyed it..that's a one time thing...and I'm wondering if this is might be considered the same. If you done it, let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!
