Magic Kingdom Parades & Cavalcade Showtimes Changing in March

The performance times for all three of Magic Kingdom’s parades and cavalcades will change in mid-March as the sun stays out for longer and we enter the busier spring break period.

Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away

Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is currently performing at 7:45 p.m. every day, with additional 10 p.m. performances on select dates.

Beginning on Sunday, March 8, it will shift to 8:15 p.m. performances daily. On March 12-14, it will also perform at 10:30 p.m. Times are not available after that date.

Daylight saving time also begins on March 8, as clocks will spring forward, gaining an additional hour of evening sunlight. Sunset in Orlando will change from 6:28 p.m. on March 7 to 7:29 p.m. on March 8.

Note that one of the earlier performances of Disney Starlight begins in Town Square, while the second performance begins in Frontierland.

Festival of Fantasy Parade
