Hi Marina,
Welcome to planDisney! Your upcoming day at Magic Kingdom sounds absolutely enchanting! Dining at
Cinderella’s Royal Table is a dream come true. I still remember the magical dinner my family and I enjoyed there many moons ago when I was a teen! Dining inside Cinderella Castle is a truly unforgettable experience. And to have plans to catch the Festival of Fantasy Parade is the cherry on top. Let's see how we can seamlessly integrate both experiences into your magical day.
As of now, the
Festival of Fantasy Parade is scheduled to take place once daily at 3:00 PM. However, Disney occasionally offers a second showing, typically at 12:00 PM, especially during busier times or special events. Since your reservation is at 2:30 PM, attending a 12:00 PM parade would be ideal. But I wouldn't count on that option, unless it's stated in the schedule.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend checking the
My Disney Experience app closer to your visit. The app provides real-time updates on showtimes and any changes that may occur.
If the parade is only scheduled for 3:00 PM on May 13th, you might consider adjusting your dining reservation to an earlier time, if possible. This way, you can enjoy your royal meal and still have time to find a great spot for the parade. Alternatively, if rescheduling isn't an option, you could enjoy the parade from a location near the castle, allowing you to experience both the tail end of the parade and make it to your reservation promptly. The parade kicks off in Frontierland, and it takes a few minutes to make its way to circle the hub in front of Cinderella Castle. So there is a chance you can catch some of it, even if you keep your reservation as is!
Remember, parade times and schedules can change, so it's always best to verify closer to your visit. And don't hesitate to ask a Cast Member in the park for assistance. They're always happy to help make your day as magical as possible!
Wishing you a day filled with fairy-tale moments and unforgettable memories! Please don't hesitate to come back and see us for any additional planning tips or questions.
