New for Summer 2026
The Disney Princesses Cavalcade at Disney Adventure World
The Disney Princesses Cavalcade is not only part of International Princess Week: it began on July 24, 2026, and is announced year-round at Disney Adventure World.
👑 Four Princesses
Rapunzel, Moana, Raya, and Tiana parade on four floats inspired by their respective worlds.
🌊 Several passages per day
The cavalcade animates the banks of Adventure Bay, the central lake of Disney Adventure World, several times a day.
🗺️ A precise route
The route starts in front of the future immersive world of The Lion King, reaches The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, then returns to its starting point.
💃 An interactive sequence
Mid-route, the Princesses step off their floats for an interactive sequence: Moana offers movements inspired by Pacific dances and Raya by martial arts.
The little details: Heihei, Pua, Tuk Tuk, Ray, and Pascal appear on the floats. Two original songs have also been specially created for this new experience.
Organization
How to prepare for a successful Princess day
- Check the program in the app on the morning of the visit
- Arrive early if character encounters are your priority
- Don't spend the whole day focusing on just one Princess
- Locate PhotoPass photographers and the Magic Shot
- Book dining experiences as early as possible
- Allow time between Frontierland and Fantasyland
- Choose a 2-Park ticket if the Cavalcade interests you
- Anticipate stockouts on the most sought-after products
Once Upon Magic Tip: character encounters are particularly sensitive to operational changes. Keep a flexible schedule and check actual times on the day itself.
