Character cavalcades are one of our favorite new things that Disney World has added to the parks since reopening.

Mickey AND Minnie AND Pluto!!!
We love the surprise element of not knowing which characters we might see next and how they just randomly turn up. And they are just SO much fun! And we’ve even got a new one to look forward to for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year!
But these cavalcades aren’t ENTIRELY random. In fact, did you know that each cavalcade has a schedule for each day? There is now a way to find out exact times when specific cavalcades will appear.Â
How? On the My Disney Experience app — just click on the location button at the bottom and choose “Entertainment” under the dropdown and “Show List.” If you filter by “Magic Kingdom,” you get a list that looks like this. Cavalcades are listed under Entertainment now!

Clicking on a Cavalcade gives you times that the particular cavalcade can be seen. In this case, the Goofy Cavalcade can be seen at 10:25AM, 11:35AM, 2:25PM, and 3:35PM. Keep in mind these showtimes may change depending on the day!
