News Fantasmic!, Festival of Fantasy Parade and Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire to return to Walt Disney World

Interesting, related to Full Day Park Hopping?


Would be nice to think FOF would return to normal in 2024 but I don't Trust MK at the Moment!!!!!!

Just curious what you mean by normal. Are you referring to the lesser number of performers and the removal of Merida’s float?

I'm more looking at the Full Cast returning. Where MK wants Brave Is not my choice...

We were just there and saw the parade. I remember seeing it when it debuted and was so impressed. It is too stripped down right now.

I think FoF is staying the way it is until it either gets a overlay/retheme or replaced. Id put more faith in that happening than a night parade sadly.

What they’ve done to this parade is an absolute travesty. I can live without the boring Brave unit but to cut the Royal Court Dancers ahead of the opening unit was a huge mistake.

It's sad how Festival of Fantasy is nowadays, they took out the Brave section(simply bc Merida was in the Adventure Cavalcade), have Jiminy Cricket appear even if Pinocchio is sidelined due to his float being pulled for windy and rainy weather which this needs to end now(if Pinocchio and his float are sidelined, then Jiminy must also be sidelined for that day's performance, he legally can't appear w/o Pinocchio), and the blue wigged women in the finale and the opening swan couple among other dancers were erased for good

I wonder if this shuffle is to make room backstage for a potential night parade. It would clear up the area after 3 instead of after 5 with the current schedule. @wdwmagic have you heard any more?

The 3pm only parade is a good change imo

Even if nothing changes?

Only if they add back all the original performers and floats (which they won't).

MK's Entertainment Department should be working their butts off!!!

Legally?

 

[Vinnie Mac]

Legally?

Yeah. It's a tricky situation his lawyer won't let him talk about it though

I agree on that part, but I’m thankful there will be additional showings of the cavalcade.

Any Showings after FOF?

FOF is never returning to its pre-COVID form. You just need to accept that at this point.
