Festival of Fantasy Parade Missing August Showtimes in Disney World

A lot of entertainment has returned to Disney World over the past several months, but we are still missing some things.

While character meet and greets, parades, and shows have returned, not everything is back (we still don’t have Fantasmic! in Hollywood Studios!). And, even the things that are back can be unpredictable. The Festival of Fantasy Parade returned to Magic Kingdom back in March, but now, some showtimes seem to be missing.

The 12PM showtime for Festival of Fantasy has been removed for several days in early August — August 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th. The 3PM showtime is still available on those days.

So, it looks like in early August from the 4th-10th, the even numbered days only have one showtime, while the odd numbered days have the usual two.

Disney has not given any reasoning for the change at this time, and we could see it change again moving forward, so we’ll keep an eye on that.

We have noticed that the parade has been different missing characters over the past several months. But, back in May, the parade was also canceled for technical issues with the floats.

Changes like this are why it’s important to check showtimes on your My Disney Experience app often, so you’re prepared for your upcoming trip and can plan your day. The free version of Disney Genie will also help you plan your day by creating a customizable itinerary for you.

If you can’t see the parade on one of your upcoming Magic Kingdom days, there is still other entertainment for you to enjoy, like the new cavalcade or the updated stage show!
