The Magic Kingdom will have a regular daytime parade in the near future! The beloved Festival of Fantasy parade will return beginning March 9, 2022. The parade will resume operation on the eight-year anniversary of its debut back in 2014.
Disney’s announcement:
Dazzling guests since its debut, the Disney โFestival of Fantasyโ Parade features beloved characters from โThe Princess and the Frog,โ โTangled,โ โPeter Panโ and more bringing their individual stories to life on enchanting floats that look as though the characters themselves had a hand in crafting them. Looming 26 feet above the parade route and 35 feet in length, the fire-breathing Maleficent Dragon float returns just as menacing as ever. Weโre delighted to have this show-stopping beauty be a part of our glittering assemblage.
It’s great to see more of the regular Walt Disney World entertainment returning. But, we’re still waiting to see Fantasmic! return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and we’d love to see a nighttime parade come back to the Magic Kingdom.
