We know a LOT of things are changing in Magic Kingdom, what with the big Cars expansion in Frontierland, Villains Land, and ride updates to both Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.

Well, a huge change is coming to Magic Kingdom’s parades, too, or rather, the park’s parade schedule. We’re going to go through these changes to make sure you don’t miss a thing if you’re visiting the parks in March.
The Disney World calendar is showing that showtimes for both of Magic Kingdom’s parades and its cavalcade will be changing in March. Festival of Fantasy, Magic Kingdom’s daytime parade, will go from one showtime per day to two starting on March 15th at 12 PM and 3 PM.

The Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade is changing times on March 15th, too. Instead of 10:30 AM and 11:45 AM, the cavalcade will now be held later in the day, at 5:10 PM and 6:25 PM.

Disney Starlight is showing performances at 8:15 p.m. for March 8th-11th. March 12th-14th, you’ll be able to catch the parade twice each evening, at 8:15 PM and 10:30 PM. On the 15th, it goes back to a single 8:15 PM showing. But then you’ll get 8:15 PM and 10:30 PM showings again on March 16th-21st. Be sure to keep checking the calendar for dates past that, as things can change.

I would much rather see more characters walking around MK to greet guests, and fewer parades!
I was choked on my 2024 trip when I realized they were doing only one Parade showing- a few days in, I was like “wait a minute… didn’t they used to do TWO of these?” and double-checked. It was the middle of May! They should’ve been doing two! But apparently they alternate this a lot.
