    We are coming for the first time in 70 years of our lives. The schedule shows no parades during our 6/28 week as well as most days in June. Why are there no parades...we will be there yet on 7/2 which is Thursday of 7/4 weekend. Why are there no parade

    Hiya, Roberta! Welcome to planDisney!

    It looks like your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just a little over a month away. How exciting! There are so many great offerings at Walt Disney World Resort to enjoy this summer, including Soarin’ Across America, which debuts on May 26 in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary!

    To answer your question, Roberta, hakuna matata! I checked the Hours & Events Calendar, and as of this writing you are correct, much of June and into July currently show no times for Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade or Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away. It is not unusual to see these times release later than park hours on a rolling basis. This means that oftentimes, you will see park hours posted a few weeks before some of these other offerings. But have no fear! As your travel dates approach, you will see parade times populate on the calendar and you’ll be able to plan accordingly.

    I hope this answers your question, Roberta! There are so many exciting things happening at Walt Disney World Resort this summer. Disney Parks Blog shared an article that highlights all of the offerings you can expect to find. Plus, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has reopened after its extended reimagining. And cue The Electric Mayhem, because Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is set to open on May 26!

    I hope this information is helpful, Roberta! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your vacation, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at planDisney. We’re always happy to help!

    See you real soon!
