2025 is just HOURS away from ending, and Disney World is set to kick off 2026 with a big return!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
After being shut down for the height of the Holiday Season — so as to make way for 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM showings of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade from December 22nd through the 31st — The Festival of Fantasy Parade is set to return to the Magic Kingdom TOMORROW!
As of January 1st, the Festival of Fantasy Parade will once again be staged at its 2:00 PM time slot.
Festival of Fantasy
The parade, which debuted back in 2014 and has been updated several times since, has long been a fan favorite thanks to floats based on Tangled, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid, amongst others.

According to Disney, the parade captures the “unbridled enchantment and vivid pageantry of Fantasyland—and its many inhabitants.”

I saw this parade twice since 2014. That was enough for me. Glad it is still running so I can ride attractions during it. If you haven’t seen it, where have you been? I think they should consider a Celebration of America for the 250 Birthday of our nation.
