Walt Disney World has announced that Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will be presented during regular park hours at Magic Kingdom on November 10 and 11, 2026. These daytime performances are included with standard park admission.
To accommodate the schedule, the Festival of Fantasy Parade will be replaced by the holiday procession on these dates. The parade is set to begin at 2 p.m. on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
While not officially confirmed, the timing is expected to facilitate the filming of Disney holiday television specials. Following the conclusion of the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party season, the parade is expected to return during regular operating hours from December 23 through December 31, 2026.
