I agree, take the parade seating. We've seen Aladdin twice - once from the mezzanine and once from the orchestra. My kids (3&7) liked the mezzanine better because they could see more of what was happening on stage. The orchestra seats had us close to Aladdin's parade entrance, but the flying carpet wasn't as spectacular. Mezzanine seats gave a good overall view. The flying carpet came up to us and my daughter is convinced that Jasmine made eye contact. I assume that parade seating would get you a front row seat - always a good thing. We love curb seating because the characters often interact with you as they walk down the route.
