The Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade will shift from its afternoon time slots to go back to the morning. The show has historically been in the morning, but showtimes changed to 5:10 PM and 6:25 PM with the repainting of Cinderella Castle. Starting on April 6th, the new showtimes will be at 10:30 AM and 11:45 AM.

In the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade, you can follow your favorite Disney characters through the park down Main Street, U.S.A. We’ve seen Mary Poppins and Bert, Stitch, The Three Caballeros, Mirabel and Bruno from Encanto, Miguel from Coco, Nick and Judy from Zootopia, and more! Disney Princesses Mulan, Pocahontas, Merida, Moana, Raya, and Elena of Avalor often make an appearance. Sometimes Pixar characters like Woody, Jessie, and Mr. and Mrs. Incredible will also join! They switch up every day, so it’s always a new show!

In addition, the Festival of Fantasy Parade, which is currently held at 12 PM and 3 PM, is cutting down to one time slot. Starting on April 6th, the parade’s only showing will be held at 3 PM. This parade features most of the Disney Princesses along with Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and Mickey and Friends as they celebrate the tales of Fantasyland!

Other Magic Kingdom shows, notably the fireworks show Happily Ever After and nighttime parade Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away, will be unaffected by showtime changes. Happily Ever After, the fireworks spectacular, will still be held at 9:30 PM nightly. This show features lights, lasers, and special effects, along with Disney characters from Mickey Mouse to Mirabel!

You don’t want to miss the nighttime fireworks!

Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away will still be held at 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM. The night parade follows characters from Pinocchio, Wish, Encanto, Frozen, Coco, Moana, Peter Pan, and more as they wish upon a star for their dreams to come true!
