ABC is scheduled to film Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade at Magic Kingdom during daytime hours on November 10 and November 11, 2026. The filming, which takes place at 2:00 PM on both days, allows all daytime park guests to view the procession, which is typically exclusive to the separately ticketed Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
The production schedule will result in changes to other live entertainment at the park. The Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade is canceled for both days, while the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade is canceled only on November 10. Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire will have a modified performance schedule on these dates.
While the parade is filmed for the annual holiday special airing December 25, the format of the performance may vary, as Disney has historically adjusted between continuous movement and stop-and-start filming approaches for broadcast purposes.
