Instead of parades, we’ve been seeing a lot of character cavalcades around Disney World since the parks reopened.

So what exactly is a “cavalcade?” If we want to get really technical, Oxford Languages defines a cavalcade as “a formal procession of people walking, on horseback, or riding in vehicles.” They do not have a set time like parades did, but they do appear periodically throughout the day. And here’s your guide to all the cavalcade times around Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom has four cavalcades located near Cinderella Castle on Main Street, U.S.A., taking place multiple times throughout the day.

A Goofy Cavalcade featuring Goofy and his pals can be seen anywhere from 10:25AM to 3:35PM.

A Royal Princess Processional can be found intermittently from 11:45 AM to 4:15PM.

You can find the Magic Kingdom Cavalcade featuring Disney friends recurring between 2:05PM to 5:40PM.
