Is there anything more iconic than a Disney World parade?
Festival of Fantasy parade
Whether it’s the fun smaller cavalcades (or even that one HUGE cavalcade in Magic Kingdom) or the massive Festival of Fantasy parade with its gorgeous floats, we LOVE a parade. But today, something pretty big was missing from a parade in Magic Kingdom.
Okay, so we’ve seen things missing from the parade before. At one point, Maleficent in her dragon form didn’t appear in the parade for a while after a technical problem. But today, we noticed something different. So usually, the first float that appears in the parade is the one with Belle and Beast on one side…
The Princess Float
…Cinderella and Prince Charming in the middle…

…and Tiana and Naveen at the rear.

Today, though, when we watched the parade, the princesses were NOT on that beautiful HUGE float, but instead, were in a small float designed to look like a gazebo (which we’ve seen in cavalcade before). So the big float with the three royal couples seems to be missing.
They’re on a gazebo today
We’re not sure why the float is missing or what might have resulted in it not appearing in today’s parade, but sometimes these little hiccups DO happen. The good news is that you can still see the princesses, along with a few princes, during the parade.

If you’ve never watched the Festival of Fantasy parade, you should certainly take some time out of your schedule in Magic Kingdom to catch it. The parade runs through Frontierland to the Central Plaza and down Main Street, U.S.A.

The parade usually has two showtimes a day — check the My Disney Experience app for showtimes! We’ll keep an eye on it and see if and when the big float returns, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
