What time is the Three O'Clock Parade?

[Robo]

The MK's 3:00 Parade (aka, Festival of Fantasy) after a few weeks of starting at the "odd" time of 2:00PM
(and a week, or so, at 12:30PM and 3:30PM...)
is now back to its rightful start time of, well, 3:00.

Darn. We really liked the 2:00 time from when we went in Sept. and hoped it would stick.

My husband asked a CM today when the 3:00 parade was and made her laugh .

There were doing it for the parties so they may do it again next year

FWIW, I watched a video last night where TimTracker showed up early for fireworks that weren't supposed to start for another 30 minutes. The fireworks started just as soon as he got to his viewing place. He swore up and down that he got the correct time off the Disney website.

Have some harmless fun with a CM ask them when the 15:00 hours parade begins.

They shouldn't bat an eye because CM work schedules and time clocks are in 24 hour time.

Some CMs bet each other how many times they'll be asked. The CM with the most is not the winner.

Did not know that thanks

You're welcome. Can't tell you how many new hires come in at 6pm (18:00) instead of 06:00 (6am). It takes a while to get comfortable with it.

You'll laugh, but on Dec 30th, the 3:30 parade actually started at 3:15, they wanted it to get to main street and off the paths as quickly as possible. If you arrived at the starting point at 3:30, you missed half of it.

It’s not really a funny question. It’s one of those questions that gets asked when the individual wants to know something important related to the parade. It’s used as a training device to help CM’s develop responses. The response is never “three o’clock.” Instead, the person may want to know when the parade will reach a certain point, or when the path will close and they won’t be able to cross to reach their destination. It may seem funny, but it’s actually a very important and reasonable question, if phrased poorly.

If you arrived at 3:30 at the starting point of a parade that started at 3:15, by 3:30 you would have missed ALL of it.
