Parade from MVMCP

[cygnusx1jg]

With the MVMCP ending 12/18, my sister says she saw something saying that the parade will be at the MK from 12/19 until early January. Can anyone confirm this or give a link that talks about this? Thanks.

thats right

Correct. Twice per day: 12:00 and 3:30.

The Christmas parade that runs during MVMCP on party nights becomes the daytime parade once the parties end until they end Christmas season after New Years.


It’s worth noting that after December 18, 2015, for the remainder of the holiday season, the standard daytime parade in the Magic Kingdom becomes Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, and the Holiday Wishes fireworks are shown nightly. This entertainment is arguably 75% of the draw for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but in exchange for not having to pay extra to see these things, you will face some of the worst crowds of the year after December 18th.

Does anyone know if the 12 & 3:30 parades go opposite directions? And if so, which starts where?

 

[hiroMYhero]

Both parades begin in Frontierland.

We are there December 15-28th. Does this mean that if I want to see the FOF parade, I need to see it before the 19th?

Yes, we plan to see it on the 18th at 3:00. It's well worth seeing.

How are the two parades different???

 

[hiroMYhero]

Festival of Fantasy is the regular day parade.

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime parade only takes place during MVMCPs and during the day during the two-week Christmas period.

You can watch both on YouTube to see how they differ.
