Here Are the Times for EVERY Character Cavalcade in Disney World

Instead of parades, we’ve been seeing a lot of character cavalcades around Disney World since the parks reopened.

So what exactly is a “cavalcade?” If we want to get really technical, Oxford Languages defines a cavalcade as “a formal procession of people walking, on horseback, or riding in vehicles.” They do not have a set time like parades did, but they do appear periodically throughout the day. And here’s your guide to all the cavalcade times around Disney World!

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom has four cavalcades located near Cinderella Castle on Main Street, U.S.A., taking place multiple times throughout the day.
