An Unwelcome Change
However, the recent removal of the Disneys Festival of Fantasy Parade from park calendars beginning on January 4, 2024, has left many fans concerned and even panicked. Some speculate that it may be due to upcoming changes in the park’s entertainment schedule, while others fear that it may be a permanent cancellation.
