Magic Happens Parade / February?

[RunnerMom71]

Is the Magic Happens parade (or any parades) happening in February? I can't find anything on the schedule and it looks like there aren't any parades happening now?

No parades, unfortunately, until the 70th celebration. Disney has cut back its entertainment budget significantly.

They had a cavalcade today. According to gentlemansdisney, it will run at 1:45 pm and 2:45 pm. https://www.instagram.com/gentlemansdisney/reel/DE8WmuOzO4R/

DCA has a Lunar New Year Procession.

Do the cavalcades ever show up in the app? I see the Lunar New Year but not the others.

Yeah. It’s called the Mickey and Friends Cavalcade. It’s listed.

It is very short and boring.

Thanks! I will look again tomorrow to see if I can spot it. I am so not happy about no parades in February so I will take a cavalcade if I can get it.

In my opinion why Disneyland is not having any parades is not because they are waiting for the upcoming 70th Anniversary celebration it's because Disneyland doesn't have the money to produce good parades and entertainment like they used to so they think cavalcades are better and easier to make rather than a big affair like a parade. Because when you get the general picture and look at it from a different vision Disneyland parade performers such as dancers clowns and mimes possibly get paid very little money and the only performers that get paid a lot are the marching bands that perform in the parades and character actors get paid a huge lot of money just for performing in the parades. But in my eyes Disneyland will probably retire the Magic Happens parade and develop a new type of anniversary parade similar to Walt Disney World's Remember The Magic parade and this parade will be an interactive one and they probably will have new anniversary costumes for the characters as part of the upcoming celebration. Because when Disneyland cancelled a lot of the popular shows like the Pixar Pals show and a lot of the Avengers Campus entertainment it hurt Disneyland a lot. I also wonder why they haven't put a new show in the Fantasyland Theater since the Tales Of The Lion King show was short-lived there and they should have an anniversary show in that theater. But when people used to go to Disneyland they used to like the Broadway styled shows and awesome parades but I think since most visitors that go to Disneyland focus more on rides and meeting characters than seeing parades and shows Disneyland is experimenting with a new image for the anniversary and I think once the anniversary is over Disneyland will develop new parades and shows
