    Will there be an afternoon parade in Magic Kingdom on special event days

    Hey there, Judith! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for sharing your question with us. 

    I’m thrilled to help with this question because the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom is one of my favorite shows. My family has so many amazing memories watching the parade from different spots in the Magic Kingdom. And that song is almost as much of an earworm as “it’s a small world.” Almost. 

    While the schedule and showtimes are subject to change, the Festival of Fantasy Parade marches across the Magic Kingdom most days, including days with special events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. It appears that the parade showtimes on the Hours and Events Calendar are not available past August 2nd, 2025, but I chatted with a friendly Cast Member who confirmed the parade will be available on special event days once an updated schedule is provided (subject to change). 

    Speaking of parades at the Magic Kingdom, I’m super excited for the debut of Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away later this month. It’s going to be amazing to have a nighttime parade at the Magic Kingdom again, and I can’t wait to see all the new sparkling and shimmering floats. It is worth noting that this parade will not be available on evenings when Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween is occurring, and it will be Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade instead. 

    Judith, I hope this information helps with vacation planning. Pop right back if you have any other questions about planning your amazing Walt Disney World adventure. You’re as welcome as can be at planDisney! 

    Magical travels!
