There is nothing quite like a day at the Magic Kingdom. It is truly the “Most Magical Place on Earth” and for good reason. From classic attractions to new thrilling attractions, there is something magical about this enchanted land.

Of course, one thing that sets Disney Parks apart from other theme parks is the great entertainment options delighting guests throughout the day. You will see multiple stage shows, awe-inspiring fireworks, cavalcades, and of course the Festival of Fantasy Parade. Guests have so much to enjoy apart from the thrilling attractions.

Big Changes

Disney does not have a “slow season” anymore, but there are times when things are a bit slower than others. At varying times throughout the year, showtimes shift a bit based on crowd levels. 

Starting on January 16, 2024, Magic Kingdom’s Festival of Fantasy Parade will only offer one parade per day at 3:00 pm. This change happens often throughout the year.

We did not expect a big change for Adventure Friends cavalcade. This is the only cavalcade still offered at Walt Disney World on a daily basis. First premiering in February 2022, this cavalcade features a large number of characters. This cavalcade will now have a big schedule change.

Previously the Adventure Friends cavalcade was offered in the evenings currently at 5:10 pm. On January 16, the Adventure Friends cavalcade will be offered 2 times each day at 10:30 am and 11:45 am.

This will be a BIG change and hopefully will draw an even bigger crowd with these new time slots.

On January 16, the Adventure Friends cavalcade will be offered 2 times each day.

I think this is just another way for Disney to take away entertainment from the guests and create longer lines at the rides. If they were thinking about families with young children they would have at least kept the noon parade instead of the 3 pm.
