Disney has updated their online calendar to reflect the annual shifting of the Festival of Fantasy Parade from a 3pm start time to 2pm beginning August 16th. The parade will remain at the 2pm start time until January 1, 2020.
Unofficially referred to as “the 3pm parade”, the Festival of Fantasy parade traditionally moves to 2pm once the Halloween season begins at Magic Kingdom due to less time that guests have in the park. As you may know, the park closes at 6pm to guests who don’t have a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party ticket on select nights.
