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.

    Yes I know, this is probably not a Big Deal but why is FOF using regular clothes for the Fab 5 on a Beautiful Day??? I don't get it....

    Probably missed it when happened the first time. I didn't know if it just needed more air or if the Balloon needed more intense repair. Also, it was NOT a Good Day for me yesterday, so I worried about it.

    If the cast are already training or will be soon then the soundtrack must be completed or soon to be. And usually once the cast get involved they start singing like canary’s lol. Although I will say they kept the updated OUACT soundtrack quiet.

    Hopefully! Also, I don’t mind FOF Cast helping with Starlight. I just hope Starlight's Cast is bigger than FOF!

    Are the floats planned to be on site soon? I guess by Easter they might be.
