Hi Julie! You are going to have such a wonderful time visiting Walt Disney World Resort during the
holiday season! It truly is "the most wonderful time of the year"!
Currently, parades take place daily at
Magic Kingdom Park. You'll find the schedule on the
Park Hours calendar. On December 31,
Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade will be performed at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. This fun holiday parade features all your favorite characters, dancing reindeer, the iconic marching wooden soldiers, and a special Guest all the way from the North Pole.
On January 1,
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade returns with performances daily at 3:00 PM. The parade route is shown on the page for each parade that I linked above, and also on this
map of Magic Kingdom Park. The parade will begin in Frontierland near Splash Mountain and continue through Liberty Square before making its way up Main Street, U.S.A. For an extra-special viewing experience, you can reserve a
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade Dining Package that includes lunch at
Tony's Town Square Restaurant followed by a reserved VIP viewing area for the parade.
Be sure to pick up a printed Times Guide during your visit that will list the full entertainment schedule. You can also check showtimes in the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
I hope that helps! Please visit the Moms Panel again with any additional questions. Have a wonderful vacation!
Anne Marie
