In a change to Walt Disney World's entertainment schedule, the Disney Festival of Fantasy parade at Magic Kingdom will be shifting from its traditional 3 pm slot to a new 2 pm time beginning August 4. According to the current official calendar, this adjustment will remain in place at least through August 31.

Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade will also see a scheduling change. From August 4 through at least August 31, the cavalcade will have only one scheduled performance at 11:15 am, replacing the current two performances per day at 10:30 am and 11:45 am.

The shift in entertainment begins the same week that Magic Kingdom enters party season, with Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicking off on August 9.

    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.
