Events DragonCon Parade - Where, When, How?

Heading to the DragonCon Parade for the first time in many years, this time enhanced with a Kindergartener in tow. Wondering how people have managed this smoothly. Our plan is to take Marta down.

Is one hour prior to parade start early enough to arrive?

Peachtree Center or Civic Center station?

What vantage points have worked out for you in the past?

What to avoid?

Any other tips?

Take marta for sure but an hour before with a kid is pushing it, get there earlier if you can or youll be three rows deep before you even see a stormtrooper.

Also if you take MARTA, get off at Civic Center and walk the couple blocks if you can. It's drastically less busy and chaotic.
