    Is Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire actually not running for a week in July? I see it's not scheduled, and news is reporting it'll be closed, but it's not on the refurb calendar, it's just not listed. Is it actually going to be paused?

    Hi, Patrick, and welcome to planDisney where we are always here to help guide you through your Disney vacation planning. Thanks for asking your question about Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire

    You're correct that there are no showtimes listed for Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire from July 7 through July 14, which does indicate that the show is pausing. Disney hasn't released any official information around the reason for this pause, however. Show times are always subject to change, so keep an eye open to see if anything gets added. If so, you'll see it on the Walt Disney World website and in the My Disney Experience Mobile App

    Even if the show isn't being performed during your visit, there will be no shortage of entertainment options in Magic Kingdom. Some of my favorites include the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade (Maleficent is awe-inspiring), The Dapper Dans, the Casey's Corner Pianist, Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular (watch for Tinker Bell flying across the sky) and Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away nighttime parade (keep an eye out for Peter Pan and Wendy taking flight through the London sky). 

    Patrick, I hope this has been helpful to you and that you have a fantastic trip. Please visit us again soon if you can think of any other planning questions we can answer for you.

    Grab hold of your dreams!
