Hiya Paige! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! Let the countdown begin for a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I can't think of a better place to celebrate Mother's Day than at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
The
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade has been a family favorite for quite some time. I still remember back the first time my girls watched it from Main Street, U.S.A. as all of their beloved Disney characters went by waving to them. At this time, Walt Disney World has only released a schedule until the beginning of May. I would expect the remainder of the month to be announced any day now. The parade is
currently being shown once per day in the middle of the afternoon. However, there have been times throughout the year when the parade is conducted twice per day. We'll have to wait and see what Disney has in store for the coming months.
If you're looking for a great viewing location, I've found that Liberty Square is an ideal place to watch from. While it is still busy, there tend to be slightly fewer Guests in this area. Plus, if you snag a spot near
Sleepy Hollow, you'll catch the parade just before it crosses the bridge to the main hub area in front of Cinderella Castle.
Paige, I hope you get a chance to stay for the nighttime spectacular! While the Festival of Fantasy Parade is beloved in my family,
Happily Ever After is at the top of the list as well. Between the fireworks, dazzling lights, and perfect soundtrack, this show is worth hanging around until the end of the night!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Paige! See ya real soon!
