Posted: Monday April 22, 2024 11:30am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom is adjusting the performance times of its two daily parades from late May 2024.

Effective May 26, 2024, the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade will move to two daily performances, stepping off at 12 pm and 3 pm. The parade is currently being performed at 3 pm only.

Also, starting May 26, Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade will move to two evening performances at 5:10 pm and 6:25 pm. Current performance times are 10:30 am and 11:45 am.

In recent years, Disney has routinely shifted parade times on a seasonal basis, and these adjusted times are likely to remain in effect through September.

Fantasmic not Festival of Fantasy

Didn't they take it out when it started on fire? Or was it put back, and then taken out again? I honestly don't know, as I don't keep up on the parade.

It seems to be on and off for a few months now.

She was there last month so it’s nothing continuous.

There must be something going on with it for a while even in the summer quite a few times when I went to see Fantasmic the dragon would be missing.

I don't know if I missed something on here but how long has the Dragon been missing from F!???

Post-NYE crowds have become ridicoulous the past few years. Sandwiched between the holidays and the RunDisney events. While people expect the parks to "die down" after NYE, crowds stick around for a while (especially when APs are unblocked next week).

Not since its come back in 2022. Actually there was like a one-off night when they did the normal 2 night showings plus an additional AP-exclusive showing during the week it came back in November 2022.

Usually before NYE.

Have they ever done that before?

That's odd. That's after NYE....
