Overview
- The 10 p.m. performance now starts in Frontierland and travels toward Town Square, while the 7:45 p.m. parade continues to start in Town Square and head to Frontierland.
- The change was first observed on February 12, 2026, marking the first time the later show has run in the opposite direction since the parade’s July 2025 debut.
- Disney has not provided an official explanation, and coverage cites likely crowd-flow considerations with the 9 p.m. Happily Ever After fireworks occurring between the two shows.
- The reversal applies only on nights with two performances; single-performance nights continue to begin in Town Square as before.
- Outlets note immediate planning implications for guests, and they also point to prior tweaks to the show, including December updates to Moana props and reports of occasional missing ground performers.
