Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire Adds Morning Showtime as Cinderella Castle Work Nears Finish Line
Magic Kingdom mornings are about to get a little more magical again. Beginning May 10, Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire will once again include a morning performance, with an 11:10 am showtime returning to the daily lineup as work on Cinderella Castle appears to be winding down.

The castle stage show had shifted to an afternoons-only schedule back on January 28 to accommodate ongoing repainting and refurbishment work on Cinderella Castle. Now, with visible progress picking up and fewer construction impacts during the day, Disney is expanding the schedule back to five performances daily. Starting May 10, guests can catch the show at 11:10 am, 12:30 pm, 1:50 pm, 4:00 pm, and 5:15 pm, marking a welcome return of earlier entertainment in the park.
This change is another strong sign that the castle project is nearing completion. Over the past several months, crews have drained the moat, repainted various sections of the structure, and worked in stages to refresh the park’s most iconic centerpiece. Disney has not officially announced an end date, but the return of morning entertainment suggests that the finish line is likely just around the corner.

Other entertainment offerings around the castle are still operating in modified formats for now. Let the Magic Begin continues without character appearances, and Happily Ever After remains available with minor adjustments as needed. As construction wraps up, guests can likely expect these experiences to return to their full, pre-refurbishment versions soon.
For now, the return of a morning showtime brings a little extra pixie dust back to Main Street mornings and gives early risers one more reason to grab a spot in front of the castle.
