A Times Guide for Every Character Cavalcade in Disney World

Character cavalcades are one of our favorite new things that Disney World has added to the parks since reopening.

Mickey AND Minnie AND Pluto!!!

We love the surprise element of not knowing which characters we might see next and how they just randomly turn up. And they are just SO much fun! And we’ve even got a new one to look forward to for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year!

But these cavalcades aren’t ENTIRELY random. In fact, did you know that each cavalcade has a schedule for each day? Exact schedules aren’t available to guests, but there is now a way to find out general times when specific cavalcades will appear. 

How? On the My Disney Experience app — just click on the location button at the bottom and choose “Entertainment” under the dropdown and “Show List.” If you filter by “Magic Kingdom,” you get a list that looks like this. Cavalcades are listed under Entertainment now!

Clicking on a Cavalcade gives you a timeframe that the particular cavalcade can be seen. In this case, the Goofy Cavalcade can be seen from 10:25AM to 3:35PM.

Don’t want to go through all that and just need a list of the times for each cavalcade? We’ve got you covered: here are the current timelines for each cavalcade at Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

  • A Goofy Cavalcade from 10:25AM to 3:35PM
  • Magic Kingdom Cavalcade from 2:05PM to 5:40PM
  • Mickey & Friends Cavalcade from 10:40AM to 5:20PM

When we checked, there were no showtimes available for Tinker Bell & The Lost Treasure. But check the app often because that could change!

EPCOT

There is only one cavalcade currently listed for EPCOT: the Princess Promenade.
