Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade drops to one performance per day this fall
You can also check the Times Guide at the Magic Kingdom theme park for schedule and show times. Other segments of the annual broadcast included The Walt Disney Studios, Disney Adventures, Disney Institute and Disney Cruise Line. The program has aired annually since 1983, with exceptions in 2000 when Disney aired a Christmas Eve "Tracking Santa" special instead.
There’s no shortage of whimsy on this Under the Sea float with conga dancing fish kicking up their fins and bubbles galore. Shimmering fabrics and intricately designed costumes for the Lion Fish, Coral Fish, Seashell, and Sea Horse performers are runway-inspired. As with other things returning to Walt Disney World, there were some small changes that guests might notice.
Our time this past May we met several great CM’s and only had issues with a few while we were at MK being “inattentive”. I could probably give more pros and probably cons but my glass of wine is starting to kick in. I don’t like change but also feel it’s necessary so even if they cancel something I do know that something will replace it and I will more than likely love it in the end. Similar to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party parade, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is usually only accessible to guests at the specially ticketed Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Despite it all, the magic of the parade is still there as a number of popular floats and Disney characters can be seen throughout. And with more than 50 million viewers across the country and the more than 3.5 million spectators who line up along the streets of New York City each year, the three-hour spectacle is nothing short of a national icon. Additionally, they offer to either take a customer’s purchases directly to their hotel or to a pick up point at the theme park. This means that customers don’t have to carry bags around all day – not only convenient for customers but also making it more likely that they’ll make more purchases. Since they happen so quickly, you don’t need to plan too much to catch one of the character cavalcades. However, for the best views of the actual Magic Kingdom parade, you’ll need to be prepared.
Disney has devised a system – the "fast track ticket" – to reduce the amount of time that customers have to spend queuing for rides. The fast track ticket essentially gives customers Disney Parade an approximate time to arrive for the ride so that they can spend their time elsewhere in the park. Customers are happy because they don’t spend the whole day standing in a line up, and Disney is happy because customers have more time to browse in the shops and make purchases.
