Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
The Festival of Fantasy Parade is thriving at Magic Kingdom Park, with Guests lining up to experience the daytime cavalcade. Although Park-goers thoroughly enjoy partaking in the festivities, the Florida heat sometimes casts a shadow over events like these in the summertime.
Walking through Magic Kingdom is no small feat, with six themed lands to explore and a lot of ground to cover. Guests can get exhausted as they wander through the twists and turns of this sub-tropical paradise.

With average temperatures in the ’90s in Orlando this week, it can feel 10 degrees hotter when the sun beats down on you. A spot on the parade route doesn’t ensure Guests will be covered with shade, so any positive energy they can get is always a welcome sight.
A Cast Member seemed to sense the lull and exhaustion in the crowd a few days ago, on an especially hot day in the Park. TikToker @pghmedic78 captured an awesome moment, as Disney Cast Member Anthony is seen breaking out into dance before the Festival of Fantasy Parade!
@pghmedic78 Huge shout out to Anthony for keeping the crowd going on a super hot July day as we get ready for the parade #disney #castmember #castmembershoutout @Disney Parks #mainstreetusa #magickingdom @Disney
Beforehand, Cast Members can be seen engaging in some sort of discussion about the heat, with Anthony making gestures before busting his moves. Next thing we know, he’s off dancing and frolicking flamboyantly through the lineup, eliciting cheers from the audience.
He even leaps into the air at a certain point! Waving at curious onlookers, we have no idea where Cast Members like Anthony get their energy.
That’s what makes Disney Cast Members so special. Even under less than favorable circumstances, the magical moments they create contribute to Disney Park’s reputation as the Happiest Place on Earth.

The Festival of Fantasy Parade typically runs at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily. With a running time of 12 minutes, it brings the magical stories of Fantasyland to life.
A series of magical floats, beautiful costumes, and original music make this a parade you won’t want to miss, even in the heat. Cast Members can be the recipients of many frustrating Guest interactions, but we hope they know how much we appreciate all their dedication and hard work!
