Festival of Fantasy Parade (Disney World)

The Festival of Fantasy Parade is a spectacular and colorful parade that takes place at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom park. It premiered in March 2014 and quickly became one of the park’s most popular and beloved parades.

The parade features a stunning array of Disney characters and floats, each intricately designed and themed around different Disney stories.

During the fantastical procession, be on the look-out for:

  • A garden of Disney Princesses, starring Cinderella, Belle, Tiana, Elsa and Anna
  • Flynn Rider and Rapunzel from Tangled sailing in an ornate longship in search of another “best day ever”
  • An under-the-sea jubilee starring Ariel, Sebastian and an enchanted ocean ensemble from The Little Mermaid atop a sparkling music box
  • Peter and Wendy from Peter Pan soaring through the sky aboard a pirate galleon pursued by Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and Tick-Tock the Crocodile
  • Merida from Brave and her triplet “bear” brothers atop an enormous bagpipe, accompanied by a troupe of Scottish dancers
  • Maleficent as a fire-breathing, clockwork dragon wrapped in battle with Prince Phillip and his mighty Sword of Truth
  • High-flying fun with Mickey and Minnie in a giant hot-air balloon, plus a cavalcade of beloved Disney Characters from Pinocchio to Snow White

The Festival of Fantasy Parade is known for its catchy music, intricate costumes, and the sheer Disney magic it brings to the streets of the Magic Kingdom. It typically runs in the afternoon, and viewers can line the parade route through the park to catch all the magic.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
