Overview
- On Friday, July 3, Magic Kingdom shortened midday runs of Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire and limited the Adventure Friends Cavalcade to evening times for the holiday weekend.
- The 11:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. castle performances were cut from about 20 minutes to roughly 8–8.5 minutes to reduce cast members’ time on stage and limit guests standing in direct sun.
- The Adventure Friends Cavalcade was scheduled only at 5:10 p.m. and 6:25 p.m. on July 3–4 with morning showtimes slated to return on July 5.
- Reports say Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire is expected to pause from July 7 through July 14 after the holiday weekend, though Disney has not issued a formal long‑term schedule change announcement.
- The moves follow National Weather Service heat advisories that called the week a Level 3 Major HeatRisk with mid‑ to upper‑90s air temperatures and heat‑index values commonly exceeding 100°F, and they mirror similar precautions other parks have taken during heat waves.
