Festival of Fantasy Parade

[Cinderella's slipper]

ok so I'm laughing because really who hasn't heard the silly question, what time does the 3 o'clock parade start? Given that, my question is has anyone heard what time the Festival of Fantasy parade will start on March 9?

Thank You!

No reason to expect any difference in start time. The route will be reversed however, and run from back to front.

If it is from back to front, would the FP+ reserved area be still good for viewing?
It would be looking west to see the floats (looking towards the sun) from that location.

Is there any word on a soft opening prior to May 9?

With all the changes lately, I've been functioning on the "Expect the Unexpected" when it comes to anything Disney. Love the sense of humor or will the parade route itself change? Aren't the start and end points next to the Fire Station and back stage behind Pecos Bill in Frontierland?

Mesaboy2, Thank you so much for the comprehensive information about fp+. Given all the changes, we found the information you compiled and updated very helpful.

My MDE says 4pm on March 9th, although I'm pretty sure it said 3:45pm before. I agree with "Expect the Unexpected" since its a new parade maybe it will start at 5pm, lol.

Good news, it will open on March 9.

Route itself unchanged and it begins and ends where you remember. Only the direction is changing.

Hello - so this morning My Disney Experience shows the start time for the parade on Monday, March 10 to be 3pm. As with any other information on the Disney website here is the caveat "expect the unexpected".

I checked again and you are right. MDE says now 3:00pm for Sunday too, on the MK information page, my reminder still says 4pm and then the calendar says no parade.

My mid-March parade FP+ time is 2:45-3:05pm. So, that means it is a 3pm parade, I guess?!

First-time parade watchers this June - can anyone tell me what time the parade would be in frontierland with a 3:00 start?
