The Magic Kingdom Parade is a large theatrical presentation at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World which dates back to the beginning of the theme park. As of March 9, 2014, the daily parade is called Festival of Fantasy.

The early "character parades" were simple in execution, featuring Mickey Mouse leading the Walt Disney World Band, followed by a group of Disney characters, performers, and musicians walking or riding vehicles along the parade route. As the years went on, the parades became composed of many floats.

As of March 12, 2020, Festival of Fantasy and Move it! Shake it! Mouskedance it! had their final performances due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
