There are few things more magical than seeing a parade on Main Street U.S.A.
Ariel in the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom
Whether it’s a holiday parade at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, or you’re watching a daytime Rainy Day Parade or, one of our favorites, Festival of Fantasy, it’s a beautiful moment. If you’re heading to Disney World soon and plan on catching this parade in Magic Kingdom, you need to know that its showtimes are changing!
On May 26th, Festival of Fantasy will be changing from just having one showtime per day, to having TWO shows a day!

These two showings will take place at 12PM ET and 3PM ET daily instead of just the 3PM show schedule, which has been the case for the past few weeks.

Now what happens if one of the parades is rained out? Well, if it’s safe for any parade to occur (aka no massive wind storm and/or lightning all over the place) you’ll likely see an abridged version of the parade, which is called a Rainy Day Parade! You’ll still be able to wave hello to some of your favorite characters from smaller floats/vehicles, since the larger floats often aren’t safe to drive in rainy conditions.
