Hey there Neil! How are you doing today? Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited to chat with you and help with all of your trip planning needs. I can already tell that we're going to be great friends, since we both love planning our trips and making sure that we have a solid schedule for everything we want to see and do.
And guess what? I have some great news for you! You can access a
Daily Hours & Events Calendar page on Disney's website that shows all the details for each theme park,
water parks, Disney Springs, and ESPN Wide World of Sports. The only catch is that Disney only adds hours for some events and entertainment options a few weeks in advance, so my top tip is to check this page one or two weeks before your trip.
It's worth noting that all times are subject to change without notice, but I checked the
Magic Kingdom Park schedule for July 1st, 2024, and it looks like there's no parade scheduled for that day yet. Don't worry though,
Happily Ever After will happen at 9:20 PM, and the
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade usually happens at 3:00 PM. Just remember my tip to check the calendar closer to your trip.
Oh, and here's a pro tip for you: there's tons of additional information on this page, such as theme park opening and closing hours, whether there are
Early Entry hours for Disney Resorts Collection Guests on specific days, and even what attractions are closed for refurbishment during your visit. You can even expand your calendar to a 5-Day View and add or remove theme parks from your filters so you have a complete schedule right in front of you!
If you want even more convenience, you can download the
My Disney Experience app, which has all this information and is updated in real-time while you're at the theme parks. How cool is that?
Lastly, if you're worried about the noise from the fireworks, I recommend bringing noise-cancelling headphones. The loudness level will depend on where you choose to watch the show, but it can get pretty loud, so I always bring a pair for my son to use during the presentation.
I hope this helps with your planning, Neil! Please
don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions in the future. I'm always here to help a friend like you.
Cheers
Nilson
