These changes come as the spring break season winds down, affecting how visitors can plan their day in the park. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming schedule modifications.
Festival of Fantasy Parade Schedule Change
The Festival of Fantasy Parade, a highlight for many visitors to the Magic Kingdom, will see a reduction in its number of daily performances. Starting April 7, the parade will transition from two shows per day to just one. This change aligns with past adjustments, where the number of performances has varied based on the season and crowd levels. The sole daily performance will take place at 3 p.m., according to the official Walt Disney World calendar.

Previously scheduled for 5:10 p.m. and 6:25 p.m., the cavalcade will move to earlier times in the day, with performances at 10:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. These changes are set to remain in effect through at least May 4.
