Disney just announced that several fun parades and shows are returning to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando!
February 11, 2022 – “Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade!” – This is a brand new character cavalcade, which is like a mini parade of characters, on just a few floats at a time, that go by a few times a day. This one will feature Miguel from “Coco” for the first time, plus Nick and Judy from “Zootopia”, Moana, The Incredibles, and many more! Existing cavalcades featuring Mickey and other characters will still continue as well.
February 11, 2022 – Frontierland Hoedown – On the same day as the above cavalcade debut, the fun Frontierland Hoedown will be returning. This is a flash mob type show where dancers and characters from the Country Bears, Splash Mountain, and more will do the Hokey Pokey and other dance numbers in the middle of the street by the Country Bears theater. Audience participation is encouraged, so watch out if you happen to be walking by. It could just start randomly throughout the day.
February 25, 2022 – “Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire” stage show – This will be a newly reimagined character show on the stage in front of Cinderella Castle. It will feature scenes inspired by “Tangled”, “The Princess and the Frog”, and “Frozen”, along with new opening & closing scenes with Mickey and friends in their sparkling, 50th Anniversary, EARidescent outfits. This show will take place multiple times a day.
March 9, 2022 – “Festival of Fantasy” Parade – This beloved parade will finally return to the Magic Kingdom park, twice a day! Yes, the huge fire-breathing Maleficent Dragon float will be returning as well! It will also include many other floats featuring the princesses, Peter Pan, Mickey and friends, and many more.
As with all shows and events in the parks, check the printed park guides by the entrances or MDE app for times. I encourage you to catch these fun shows and parades. They really do add to the magic of the parks. It’s not just about doing rides. Soak in the ambiance and catch all the other things going on around you too. Have fun!
