Disney Parade Showtimes Are CHANGING in Magic Kingdom Soon
Then the parade continues to the large Central Plaza – in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle – crosses the entire Main Street and ends at the square at the entrance/exit of Disneyland Park, nicknamed Town Square. The show Disney Stars on Parade at Disneyland Paris is, undeniably, one of the key moments of any visit to the French resort, similar to the nightly fireworks show, Disney Illuminations. Walt Disney World has debuted one of its largest ever character cavalcades at Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney World has debuted the all-new castle stage show, Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire. Fantasmic is returning soon to Hollywood Studios, and leaders are working on a re-imagined “Finding Nemo” show at Animal Kingdom. Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
Guests who love current iteration of the Electrical Water Pageant will be happy to know that the full original show will still take place, with the additions “bookending” the pageant. This nighttime spectacular features massive floating set pieces, custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics, and lasers. The floating set pieces transform from fountains during the daylight hours and will become an integral part of the show at nighttime.
Meanwhile, to the sound of the original theme “Lost in the Magic”, it’s also possible to perceive excerpts from other Disney songs, namely “A Whole New World” (from “Aladdin”, 1992) and “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” (from “Song of the South”, 1946).
Not only does the quick-service restaurant tout a few riverfront dining pavilions, but Expedition Everest soaring above the lagoon makes for an undeniably atmospheric backdrop. Another great parade viewing location nearby is in front of or from the top of the Train Station. While the higher vantage point is perfect for keeping your sightline clear, watching from the loading platform can get packed. Fortunately, standing in front of the Train Station from the ground will also provide you with excellent views. Holiday finest and Santa Claus himself, this yuletide treasure is sure to leave you feeling festive.
Mark Hammond, whose previous work includes Disney California Adventure’s World of Color and Hong Kong Disneyland’s Flights of Fantasy Parade, designed the musical score. Mirena Rada, who has previously worked on projects for Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, designed the costumes. You can’t beat the ambiance of watching the floats roll past with Cinderella Castle and the adorable storefronts of Main Disney Parade Street, U.S.A. in the background. This is also one of the most popular places to watch the Magic Kingdom parade, so line up an hour early to snag a front-row seat. Stand on the Emporium side of this old-timey avenue to try and soak up some shade. In a nod to the park’s old “Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade,” Hollywood Studio’s only remaining motorcade sees characters cruise past in fun themed convertibles or stroll by on foot.
