The Festival of Fantasy parade performed at Magic Kingdom Park is typically offered at 3 PM each day.   We have learned that the popular parade will be moved to a 2 PM time slot for a lengthy period of time.  This change is expected to begin on August 17th, 2018 and will last throughout the holiday season.  It will run through the dates when ticketed events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are offered.  It makes sense to move the time of the parade up given that the park will close earlier than usual during the ticketed events.

Disney has tested this time change in the past, so it isn’t surprising that this change would be offered.  At this time Festival of Fantasy is expected to return to the normal 3 PM time slot after the season of tickets party events are over.

Festival of Fantasy is one of the only parades left at Walt Disney World.  There used to be parades offered at the other theme parks as well as a nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom Park in addition to Festival of Fantasy.  These other parades have since been discontinued with parks occasionally offering parades for special events.  The Festival of Fantasy parade is extremely popular, so guests will definitely want to be mindful of this time change.

How many of you make sure to catch the Festival of Fantasy parade when you visit Magic Kingdom?

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
