Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade

The Disney Festival of Fantasy parade returns to Magic Kingdom on March 9, 2022 – the anniversary of the debut of the parade back in 2014!!

The "Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade" celebrates New Fantasyland with new innovative floats, costumes and an all-new soundtrack that features songs from popular Disney films. A new theme song has also been developed for the parade. In this parade, we see nods to The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tangled, and Brave, as well as many others.

The floats are designed to look as if they were created by the characters they represent and truly bring each story to life as it moves down Main Street, U.S.A.

Ariel and her friends ride on an oversized music box decorated like a colorful "Under the Sea" party.



Merida's float is a giant bagpipe surrounded by Scottish dancers. Joining Merida on the float are her triplet brothers, in bear form.

Peter Pan and Wendy ride on a flying pirate ship, led by a replica of Skull Rock. Captain Hook, Mr Smee, Tinker Bell, and the Lost Boys are tagging along also.

Rapunzel and Flynn Rider's longship sail down the street, topped by magical floating lanterns.

The Disney Princesses ride on a Royal Court Garden Float.

One of the most impressive floats is the 35-feet-long, 26-feet-high Steampunk-inspired Maleficent Dragon from Sleeping Beauty. Thorn stilt-walkers walk alongside as Prince Phillip tries to fight them away.

Mickey and Minnie ride in a hot air balloon float surrounded by the dancing hippos from Fantasia.
