Magic Kingdom Parade Shake Up: New March Times for Disney Starlight, Festival of Fantasy, and Cavalcades

If you are planning a March visit to Magic Kingdom, it is time to check those entertainment times. Disney has updated the performance schedule for Disney Starlight, Festival of Fantasy, and the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade, with changes rolling out beginning March 8 and March 15. And yes, Daylight Saving Time is part of the plot twist.

Disney World Changes Parade Times in March in the Magic Kingdom

Starting March 8, Disney Starlight shifts to an 8:15 pm showtime on March 8 through 11. Then from March 12 through 15, you will have two chances to catch the glow, with performances at 8:15 pm and 10:30 pm. That late night 10:30 pm option on March 13 through 15 is a welcome encore for anyone who prefers shorter waits or wants to double dip on nighttime magic.

Beginning March 15, Festival of Fantasy returns to two daily performances at 12 pm and 3 pm. That means more chances to see Maleficent breathe fire and the Princess floats glide down Main Street, U.S.A. in full daytime splendor. Also on March 15, the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade moves later in the afternoon, now stepping off at 5:10 pm and 6:25 pm, giving the character-packed mini parade a more golden hour vibe.

As always, parade schedules can flex depending on park hours. If Magic Kingdom closes earlier, expect fewer nighttime offerings. With spring break crowds on the horizon, having a second Starlight showing on select nights could be a game changer for snagging a good viewing spot without camping out for hours.
