    Hi, my family and I will be going to magic kingdom on December 17th and I’m just curious to know will there be a Christmas theme parade on that day?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Wildiana!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! You are headed to Magic Kingdom at the perfect time to feel all the Christmas MAGIC! The park will be sparkling with lights, garlands, giant ornaments, and that cozy holiday music that makes Main Street U.S.A. feel straight out of a storybook. Get ready for holiday photos, themed treats, and more enchanting moments than you can count!

    As I checked the Disney calendar for December 17th on the Disney World website, Magic Kingdom will be showcasing the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade at 2:00 PM. This is the park’s regular daytime parade filled with gorgeous floats, princesses, fire-breathing dragons, and tons of familiar Disney characters. It’s not the specific Christmas parade that runs during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but it is still a fantastic, high-energy parade that families absolutely love. In the evening, you can enjoy Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, the brand-new parade, with performances at 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM. And of course, the night wouldn’t be complete without Happily Ever After, the fireworks spectacular that lights up the sky with music, MAGIC, and those unforgettable castle projections. All of these incredible events are subject to change, so make sure you check your My Disney Experience app throughout the day.

    Even though the Christmas parade is only offered during ticketed party nights, you will still get to enjoy every ounce of holiday atmosphere throughout the entire park on the 17th. If you have other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Hope you have a MAGICAL day!
