Think about Magic Kingdom It's thinking about magic, isn't it? The Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, in this way, celebrates what is most special about Disney.
On this post
Music and dance pack the parade, which features a bunch of characters we love.
Do you think only fireworks are perfect? It's because you don't know the march that pays tribute to Fantasyland.
It's magic and fun until you say enough! It has a float and everything. Have you ever thought about a kind of carnival in Orlando?
Well, the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade is almost that.
In addition, the parade is that moment when the entire park practically stops.
The characters cross the Magic Kingdom and exude emotion. You can't help but be enchanted by such reverence!
More about the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade
The parade is better known as that “three parade”. That's because it happens every day around 3 pm (3 pm).
So, leave the fun for later, because, at that time, you already have things to do, lol!
In all, there are more than 100 artists staging and bringing joy and energy to visitors.
The costumes are amazing, there are some actors who use stilts and support themselves throughout the walk, as well as pendulums and swings.
And, of course, that's when we can see, up close, the characters that are part of our history and the history of Disney.
Isn't it sensational?
Mickey Mouse, Beautiful and the Beast, Anna and Elsa, Pinocchio, Ariel, Peter Pan… There are so many classics that it is almost impossible to take your eyes off the wonder staged there. Colors, costumes, cars, all beautiful.
The Maleficent Dragon is huge and breathes fire! It looks very real, which leaves everyone amazed at how perfect it is.
At the end of the presentation, there is a floating Mickey balloon, 9 meters high, bringing our darling and our Minnie, symbols of the park's magic.
It is impressive how Disney managed to bring together the most different and striking characters in its history and present the public with such a rich parade of details and information.
It's definitely fun for the whole family!
Some interesting facts about the attraction
How about getting to know a little more about the parade that animates the afternoons at Magic Kingdom? Well then, let's go!
- It replaces Celebrate A Dream Come True, which ended activities in January 2014;
- In all, there are 40 characters in animation or sculpture format;
- The Princess Garden float is over 15 meters long;
- The costumes were created by 10 sewing houses, spread across eight cities and two countries;
- In the case of some parts, they were digitally formulated and then acquired real sizes in a 3D printer;
- Characters based on Peter Pan's Lost Boys wear socks that were custom knitted in Hong Kong.
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade schedule and duration
One of the park's most special moments debuted in 2014, and since then it's been a daily stop, and truly a must-have for everyone visiting the Magic Kingdom. So don't let this moment pass, eh?
As mentioned above, the parade takes place daily at 3pm. However, as it happens in the open, due to weather conditions, this can be harmed. Thus, it is worth paying attention to the weather, since, depending on the day, there may not be a stop.
In addition, it is interesting to keep an eye on the schedule because, eventually, there may be a change in the presentation schedule.
The Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade lasts 12 minutes. So, leave that time separate in your script.
It is worth mentioning that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival is temporarily suspended.
Where does the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade take place?
The itinerary, however, starts at Adventureland and ends at Main Street, passing through the central region of the Magic Kingdom, where Cinderella's castle is located.
As it is an attraction that literally stops the park, it is necessary that you arrive at the place in advance, as it is very full.
You can watch the presentation from the most varied places, but the indication is that you stay at the “bottleneck”, that is, very close to the “band” that separates the space where the parade happens to the public, on the curb of the sidewalk itself.
With that, you won't have anyone in front of you, let alone getting in the way of your vision.
So don't wait until the last minute to look for a place.
Get organized in order to get the best view possible, as it is a unique and unmissable moment, especially if it is your first and only time in the park.
So that's it! Anyway, enjoy and have fun!
