    If the Festival of Fantasy parade starts at 2pm, what time does it reach Town Square and how long does it take to see the full parade once it arrives? I am trying to plan a Tony’s reservation and want to ensure I see all of the parade before or after it.

    Hi there, Cheryl. A very warm welcome to planDisney! The spectacular Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade is a must-do every visit so I fully understand wanting to ensure you have time to view it all. Let's dive into your questions.

    If the parade starts at 2pm in Frontierland, it should reach Town Square on Main Street, U.S.A., about 15-20 minutes later, around 2:15-2:20pm. The parade lasts approximately a quarter of an hour from the time it reaches a specific location. You might like to consider one of these three options to ensure you see the full parade – whichever you choose, it will be such a special experience:

    Dine before the Parade
    Aim to finish your meal at Tony's Town Square Restaurant by 1:45pm, giving you enough time to find a good viewing spot near the restaurant before the parade reaches the area.

    Dine after the Parade
    Schedule your reservation for around 2:45pm or later. This allows you to watch the parade from start to finish and then head to Tony's with ample time to spare.

    View from Tony’s Town Square
    If you prefer to watch the parade while dining, request an outdoor or parade-view table at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant when you check in for your reservation. Although Cast Members will do their best to meet your requests, they are not guaranteed and are subject to availability. With a sprinkle of Disney magic, you could enjoy your meal while watching the parade and all your Disney pals pass by. I recommend being seated by at least 2pm.

    Enjoy the parade and your magical meal at Tony’s Town Square! Please give Mickey a wave for me! If you have any more questions, Cheryl, feel free to pop back to planDisney - we love to help.
