It's About to Get EASIER to See the Parade in Magic Kingdom

Sometimes for Disney World to move forward, it must be willing to go back.

Festival of Fantasy Parade

We’ve seen a barrage of Disney World change announcements and hints already this year but it’s looking like one change at Magic Kingdom is about to be undone. We’ve got good news, folks — it’s about to get easier to watch a popular Magic Kingdom parade!

Earlier this April, we reported that the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom was limiting its showtimes to just one show per day. In the past, the parade took place twice a day at 12PM and 3PM, with the change eliminating the noon showtime.

Well, it appears the change was truly temporary, as Disney World’s calendar is showing the return of the 12PM showtime beginning Sunday, May 26th, 2024 — once again restoring Festival of Fantasy Parade’s two daily showtimes!

Special viewings of the parade can still be accessed as a Lightning Lane through Genie+. Regular viewing of the parade can be experienced from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A.

The parade features the characters and the spirit of Fantasyland coming to life in a daytime spectacular that includes a “mix of floats, motion, and original music”, per Disney.

This is an outdoor parade so showtimes are subject to change or cancellation due to inclement weather or other issues.
