Walt Disney World welcomed back large-scale parades today with the long-awaited return of the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade.
The parade features most of the original floats, including the fire-breathing steampunk Maleficent unit. The Brave unit is missing, with Merida now taking part int he Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade. It is also apparent that a number of performers between the floats are missing compared to the pre-pandemic version totaling approximately 40 performers.
Watch the video below for a look at the very first showing of the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade since the shutdown.
During the upcoming spring break period, the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade is performed twice per day, at 11:30am and 2:30pm. The second showing means that guests park hopping at 2pm will be able to catch the parade.
The parade steps off in Frontierland, passes through the hub, along Main Street U.S.A. to the train station, ending in Town Square.
