Get to the Grizzly Bear Run Fastpass booth as EARLY in the day as you can. Line up as early as you can as well & believe me, you will have the best view!
The best time to grab seats is after people have viewed the first showing and fireworks.. Once they start leaving you can creep your way in!
You can go on the balcony! It has a great view of New Orleans Square and you can watch all the people wandering around.
Loved the view over the pools from the 10th floor in the Dreams Tower - construction yes but it's great to see so much new development going into the Disneyland Hotel! Comfortable, elegant room, too.
Main Street is a great walk down memory lane. Take a moment to really enjoy this part of the park and show stop by for the flag ceramony at sunset. It's great!
