Magic Kingdom parades and shows are making a magical comeback, just in time to keep the excitement going for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration.
New Cavalcade Launches February 11
Starting February 11, guests can catch the brand-new Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade, a super-sized entertainment offering featuring nearly 30 beloved characters. Look for appearances from Nick and Judy of Zootopia, Baloo and King Louie from The Jungle Book, and even José Carioca and Panchito from The Three Caballeros. Moana, Merida, The Incredibles, and Miguel from Coco also join the lineup—making his Magic Kingdom debut in full mariachi style.
Festival of Fantasy Parade Returns March 9
The much-loved Festival of Fantasy Parade returns to Main Street, U.S.A. on March 9—the same day it debuted in 2014. Fans can once again enjoy vibrant floats and favorite characters from Tangled, Peter Pan, and The Princess and the Frog. A show-stopping favorite, the 26-foot-tall fire-breathing Maleficent Dragon float, also returns to wow guests once more.
Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire Debuts February 25
A reimagined castle stage show—Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire—hits the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage on February 25. This refreshed performance features scenes inspired by Frozen, Tangled, and The Princess and the Frog. With an all-new opening and finale. Mickey Mouse and friends will don their sparkling iridescent outfits for the 50th, and the new show will debut the original song “Where the Magic Feels Like Home.”
