Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade
Disney's most elaborate daily theme-park parade. Float lineup covers seven Disney stories — Brave, Tangled, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty (Maleficent), and Frozen. The Maleficent dragon float at the parade's center breathes real flame and is the unit's signature visual. Performers walk roof-level on several floats — the route is wide enough that sightlines from the curb are excellent. About 12 minutes from start to end at any single viewing spot. Best vantage points: in front of the Train Station for the start, or on the Liberty Square / Frontierland bridge for the dragon flame moment.

East Center Street
Also in Main Street, U.S.A.: It is exactly the kind of hidden-in-plain-sight spot people mean: not a ride, not a restaurant, just a calmer place to pause and notice the park.

Casey's Corner piano patio
Also in Main Street, U.S.A.: It is not hidden because it is empty; it is hidden because many people walk past a low-commitment show moment that can anchor a short rest.
Outside Casey's Corner, near the end of Main Street facing Cinderella Castle.
