On March 9, 2014 , Magic Kingdom® Park will debut a brand new daytime parade, Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade. Inspired by the New Fantasyland® area of the park, the parade brings several magical stories to life right in the streets of the park.

Seven unique units comprised of nine innovative floats will take to the streets of Magic Kingdom® Park as part of this new parade. Those seven units include:

  • The Princess Garden – Cinderella, Tiana, and Belle will be joined by their princes on this float celebrating Disney royalty. There will also be a special appearance by Anna and Elsa from Disney Frozen!
  • Tangled – A long ship featuring Flynn Rider and Rapunzel
  • Little Mermaid – A seashell music box featuring Ariel and friends
  • Peter Pan – This pirate ship features Peter Pan, Wendy, and Captain Hook with some high-energy dancing by the Lost Boys
  • Brave – Merida, from Disney-Pixar film Brave, sits high above her fans on a larger-than-life bagpipe float
  • Sleeping Beauty – Heroic Prince Phillip battles a Steampunk-inspired Dragon on a float that stretches 53 feet in length and stands 26 feet tall!
  • Mickey’s Airship / Finale – A magical 90-foot-long float features an assortment of beloved Disney characters! Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse rounds out the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade from their giant hot air balloon float.
