This parade is fabulous and a must see! If you have toddlers, and are staying at the park I would recommend taking a breather or early dinner before going back to the park for the parade as getting out afterwards can take some time if you have reservations to get to. Try to see the parade on Central Plaza or Main Street near the plaza as further along the route towards City Hall the floats can get separated with people leaving the park, as they are allowed to cross the route at intervals which can interrupt the ‘flow’ a little. Fantillusion is a memorable Disney experience and much recommended.
I was a little disappointed in this parade, I found the performers were too tired to dance and were just content on strutting down Main Street as fast as they could to get out of the cold. The lights were great and having something like this to sparkle down Main Street is a great idea, just not in Winter.
We were lucky enough to be at DLRP on a weekend in November 07 and watched Fantillusion twice. I last saw it in 2004 and it hasn’t lost any of it’s WOW factor, a truly fabulous parade - Disney at it’s best !!!
WOW, what a bright fun parade, yes i no its not as advanced as the “once upon dream parade” however it seems much more magical as it is in the dark and the glittering lights make it that bit more breathtaking. I recommend to stand right at the start of main street as thats where
Mickey, Maleficent, and Usular stop. Fantastically done and beautifully synchronized.
Fab! Beautiful floats and a wonderful song, really something to see.
Look out for the flower float with the 3 fairies from Sleeping beauty on, really pretty. Best to get a place down by the castle as the floats stop and some wicked things happen. In the summer it is on late, so be prepared for a long day, or go to the park later in the day and spend some time in you hotel.
A must do if its on, show doesn’t run all year so check times before you go.
This parade is truly amazing, god knows how many lights are on those floats!! It is a fabulous parade, it makes you feel all happy inside, ends a wonderful trip to Disney.
Hadn’t expected to see this as I have a three year old son, but took advantage of the fact he had had an afternoon nap and strolled back into the park at 8.20pm and found a space around the Town Square very easily so decided to stick around and watch the show. Actually much better than I had expected despite the many positive reviews and pleased we stuck around. Great build up with all the lights going out just before the floats arrive adding to the antcipation, excellent float design and accompanying music combined with reduced crowds make this a parade you should not miss. 9/10
Slightly short and without the slickness of OUADP, the effect of the lights though and I think the fact that the characters on board are slightly closer to the audience and can interact a bit more make it a great parade for young and old.
Wow! What can I say. This was fab! Lights, music, dancing and characters. I had tears in my eyes. Disney really do push out all the stops to make your visit memorable. Thanks Disney!!
For me, Disney’s Fantillusion Parade is the best of all Disney “attractions”. It truly is a magical event for the whole family. It’s colors, it’s music and it’s enchanting transformations make Fantillusion so perfect.
The only drawback is, that on the way from Tokyo to Paris, some floats were lost. And the technique, especially of Ursula’s float seems a bit outdated, now we have the new Once upon a dream Parade.
Nevertheless, Fantillusion definitively earned 10 Stars out of 10. Go and see it! If you already did it, go again!
But boo to Disney for cutting it down to weekends-only up to a certain date. When I booked our trip back in September I was told Fantillusion would be on every night but arrived to find out the only night we would catch it would be Sunday. Daughter not impressed
The colour, the lights.. this ends a perfect day in the parks. You should do this once, twice in fact every day you’re there. The music is catchy and the whole parade will stay in your head whilst you’re there.
The amazing Night parade… Disney’s Fantillusion! The best night parade in the world! When watching it, listening to the music… JUST AMAZING! I can’t wait to see it again one day…
THE BEST!!! The tune will always be with you throughout your whole say at DLRP its so catchy, the parade it soo good. The lights on the floats go in time with the music and the dancing is great as well.
I love this parade. Even though the song has no words, the tune stays in my head everytime I see the parade. This is spectacular and you must see it. The fight between good and evil is easy to see and i love it.
WOW. Do this at least once. The atmosphere, lighting and music makes it incredible. There is a real feeling of ‘magic’ about this. Make sure you stand up near the castle to see this show as there is a bit of a ’storyline’ to it and you will miss it all unless you’re near there. Get here really early to guarantee the best place.
GREAT parade!!!
I absolutely love the atmosphere Disney creates with their nighttime parades. I’m rating this one 9/10.
The only reason I’m not giving this one a 10 is that I loved the main street electrical parade song so much and miss it every day I’m at DLP
Yeah the Fantillusion parade!
It is a great parade…
I’m in love with the music of it.
The music is fantastic, and together with the lights it’s like I’m dreaming with my eyes open.
If you go to Disneyland make sure you don’t miss this parade!
My Score: 10/10
