You need to know about these showtime CHANGES before you go to Magic Kingdom!

Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
There are lots of great entertainment options in Magic Kingdom, from the big Festival of Fantasy Parade to “streetmosphere” performances like the Dapper Dans and Casey’s Corner Pianist. Starting tomorrow, January 16th, the showtimes are CHANGING for lots of these performances, so make sure you check out the new showtimes to avoid missing your favorites!
Here’s a quick look at all of the showtime changes:
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade
The big Festival of Fantasy Parade (featuring the impressive Maleficent dragon that actually breathes fire) used to have performances at 12PM and 3PM. Starting on January 16th, the showtimes will be reduced to ONLY the 3PM time.

Bruno (SHH!! Don’t talk about him!)
Right now, the calendar is showing that this change will last at least through February 3rd.

The Dapper Dans
The Dapper Dans are an iconic part of Main Street, U.S.A.! This barbershop quartet can often be found serenading guests as they walk down the street.
