Disney World just announced the start dates for a returning favorite parade, as well as two new live entertainment offerings, all coming to Magic Kingdom.
Read on to find out what new and returning entertainment is coming to Magic Kingdom this spring.
Festival of Fantasy Parade returns to Magic Kingdom on March 9
Magic Kingdom has been without a regular daily parade for almost two years now, as the park stopped running performances of the Festival of Fantasy parade due to COVID-19. Guests wondering when the daytime parade at Magic Kingdom would return now have their answer.
Festival of Fantasy will resume performances at Magic Kingdom starting March 9, 2022. The parade features impressive and fanciful floats, including a massive steampunk Maleficent Dragon which acts as the iconic centerpiece of the parade.
Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade Debuts February 11
In lieu of a big parade, Magic Kingdom has been running several character cavalcades. These mini-parades are a chance to see favorite Disney and Pixar characters along the parade route, which runs from Splash Mountain to Main Street. Even with the return of the Festival of Fantasy, cavalcades thankfully aren’t going anywhere. At Destination D23 last year, Disney World announced that Magic Kingdom will be getting its biggest cavalcade yet with the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade.
This will include characters like the Incredibles, Moana, Merida, Panchito, José, Nick, Judy, Baloo, and King Louie.
New Castle Stage Show “Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire” Debuts February 25
Replacing “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire,” this stage show in front of Cinderella’s Castle will feature Mickey and the gang, as well as characters from Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen.
