Cavalcades - General Info

[leannak]

Is there a thread for cavalcade information? I have questions. : )

In which parks are these happening and where?
Are the ones in Animal Kingdom only on boats?
Do these run on any kind of schedule?
Are there good places to be or eat or hang out in order to see these?
Are there special tables to request in restaurants where you can get a glimpse of these by chance?

Thanks if anyone has answers for me!

To me, the beauty of them is that they run often and are unannounced. If you're moving throughout the park during the peak daytime hours, they are hard to miss. We see them each time we visit - even if we're just there 2-3 hours. MK seems to have the most, esp when combined with the Dapper Dans & marching band. We see them the least at Epcot.

At AK, they are just on boats. You can hear the music coming and easily move to a spot where you can see the water. We've never parked ourselves anyplace to watch them but you could sit in the Rivers of Light theater and see them all - it's just full sun.

At MK, they all come through Frontierland & wind down Main St, Epcot run through WS, HS run down Sunset.

fwiw Epcot only has the Princess bussing around now

DAK if you are near a waterway you most definitely will see characters

aside from cavalcades keep your eyes peeled you don’t know who will pop up for distanced selfies

By design there is not published schedule that I am aware of. They are supposed to be random.
And characters have certain areas where they show up, but again no schedule.
