UPDATED April 14, 2026
Disney World is known for its stellar entertainment, but one park is just a bit more magical than the rest.
We’re talking about Magic Kingdom, of course! From parades and cavalcades to stage shows and nighttime spectaculars, chances are there’s something to keep just about anyone entertained in the OG Disney World park. We don’t want you to miss a thing — so we’ve rounded up a FULL list of showtimes for parades, fireworks, castle shows, and more in Magic Kingdom.
You’ll find PLENTY of entertainment nearly everywhere you look in Magic Kingdom. From live music to parades, cavalcades, stage shows, and nighttime spectaculars — there’s always something new and interesting to see if you know where to find it! We’ve rounded up the showtimes for Magic Kingdom parades, fireworks, castle shows, and more.
But, before we start — keep in mind that these showtimes are subject to change. Disney might update these for several reasons — maybe the park is closing early one night or they’re getting ready for a special event.
The below show times are generally accurate, but make sure you check the My Disney Experience app on the date of your visit for the most up-to-date information.
We also make sure to let you know when Disney makes a showtime change, but if a parade or show is canceled due to weather or something last minute, the My Disney Experience app is going to have that updated information first! Now, onto the main events!
Happily Ever After
The Happily Ever After fireworks spectacular is currently showing at 10PM nightly.

Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade
The Festival of Fantasy Parade is dedicated to the movies and magic of Fantasyland, and this mid-day parade garners LOTS of crowds.
You can catch it every afternoon at 3PM.
Disney Starlight — Dream the Night Away
