Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom is adjusting the performance times of its two daily parades from late May 2024.

Effective May 26, 2024, the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade will move to two daily performances, stepping off at 12 pm and 3 pm. The parade is currently being performed at 3 pm only.

Also, starting May 26, Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade will move to two evening performances at 5:10 pm and 6:25 pm. Current performance times are 10:30 am and 11:45 am.

In recent years, Disney has routinely shifted parade times on a seasonal basis, and these adjusted times are likely to remain in effect through September.

From what I've been told, terrible. "Gym showers, but worse."

The guy in the Beast costume must be happy to have the full body outfit be a benefit for once. Also, darn, if I knew this was going to happen I would've stuck around and gotten wet instead of hiding from the rain in Pinocchio's.

Thanks! Certainly a more Strange Performance of FOF! Some Routines when on it looks like. While Shocking to look at, This looks to be just FOF going through a Normal Rainstrom with no Thunder/Lighting whatsoever. Not unlike My Visit to the WI State Fair's Midway during a non Thunder Monsoon 1 Year. My Cousin and I ran frrom Ride to Ride with no wait in the pouring Rain. I hate to admit it but it was kind of exciting! LOL!!! I also encounterd a Monsoon in 2021...you never know what memories You'll Make!..... As for Floats, I totally understand the need for the Rainy Day Parade but Yesterday was not MK's first Parade Monsoon, It looks like the floats MK has are like Weather Proof actually..

Closest I’ve seen:

97%. :) I think.... Assumes 9am to midnight operating hours, and combined parade waiting and viewing time of 30 minutes.

Usually what I see from Videos/Streams, the moment the Rain picks up, the Walking starts. Although, I can't tell if the Tangled Dancers are enjoying the rain or doing their Routine?....

This is SOP for wet conditions, even if it's not actively raining but the pavement is slick, to avoid slip and falls.

From the clip shown, it looks like all choreography is stopped and they just walk by and wave. The guys on the Tangled float aren't swinging either.

…you got a lot riding on this parade? What’s your plan for the other 98% of a park day?

I can't seem to find a Livestream of FOF yesterday...

We'll see if Starlight gets MK's Rainy Day Parade. Which would be a First for a MK Nighttime Parade(outside of Parties)in my memory...
