EPCOT'S Character Cavalcades came to an end over the weekend with the final performance of the Princess Promenade.

The Princesses will now be appearing in distanced locations around World Showcase.

Aurora and Belle are currently meeting near to the France Pavilion.

As with Alice at the United Kingdom, and Anna & Elsa at the Norway pavilion, there is physical distancing, with guests taking photos from the other side of a barrier.


Princess Jasmine is appearing on the stage at the Morocco Pavilion.

Mary Poppins is appearing in the gardens at the United Kingdom.

The Mickey Mouse and Frozen cavalcades closed earlier in the year, leaving just the Princess Promenade. You can find Mickey and friends near to Spaceship Earth.

The cavalcades were originally introduced with the reopening of the parks in summer 2020 to offer physically distanced character appearances. They still take place at Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I get where you're coming from. But instead of "more annoying", I would say "more disruptive". Currently there is a lull but crowds will pick up again over Labor Day weekend and as it gets closer to the 50th.

It was nice to see a “parade” at epcot, but with crowds becoming close to normal again it was becoming more annoying than enjoyable

Feels like a news-y kind of day.

Sounds nice, I really disliked when you're walking down the street and then a whole cavalcade just starts showing up.
