Wedcot's Last Festival of Fantasy Parade of 2026

 

On Friday September 25, there would be a parade at Wedcot, the "Festival of Fantasy Parade." It would be announced in the group as the last one for this year. 

 

Join us tonight as our Fantasyland friends gather one last time for 2026 to perform a festival parade! We look forward to celebrating with you!

 

 A number of floats were in the parade, rezzing near the water, slowly moving down the street, and eventually reaching the end and vanishing. Most had Disney characters on them, some were static bots, others were staff in character avatars. Some would occasionally greet people in the audience, "(name) have you ever wished upon a star?"

 

There were a number of people watching, as well as one small dragon whom occasionally flew up to get a better look and swooped by a couple floats, including one representing Malificent's dragon form in "Sleeping Beauty."

 

The last float had Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Minnie clearly enjoying the parade. 

 

While the Festival of Fantasy parades may be over for the year, there will almost certainly be other events in the meantime, especially with Halloween and Christmas coming up. And of course there are the rides and displays at the park.

Wedcot Center Is Back

 

 

 In October, the Newser reported that Wedcot Center Park, a tribute to the EPCOT Center owned by Disney, had closed down. For fans, some good news. The place is back. 

Disney Epcot tribute - Celebrate the season with Nightmare Before Christmas, and Haunted Mansion Holiday! Festival of the Holidays, Spaceship Earth, Test Track, with access to mini golf.

The place is still under Trevor Sleydon and is still in the Real Dreams sim. A look at the park's group showed no announcement's in the past month, so it's safe to assume the place came back before the first of the month. The place isn't quite perfect. The "Spaceship Earth" attraction isn't quite working. But some things such as the monorail are.

The Candlelight Processional Tribute

 

 

On his Flickr, Patch Linden posted five times this month, there will be a Candlelight Processional Tribute.

 

 The tribute to the Candlelight Processional returns this year, I am proud and super excited to be invited as a guest narrator again!

The Processional is an annual event that features a traditional telling of the story of Christmas with festive music and choir.

We have selected some great times and dates to cover as many time zones as we could.

Please come see the show, and there is a very special, high capacity showing when we take the tribute to the Candlelight Processional to a guest location this year!

 

Four of the five times the event takes place are at the Wedcot Center in the Real Dreams sim. Wedcot is a tribute of the real-life Epcot Center owned by Disney which itself is deserving of an article. I arrived a little early, took a candle, and sat in the stands.

 

The event soon started, music started playing, and choir bots began walking through the audience seating and onto the stage.

 

 

Patch Linden had been behind the curtains. Eventually the curtain was drawn and he appeared. Speaking in voice, "As we prepare to say goodbye to the year, let's take a moment to reflect on what has transpired." The then began reading the story of Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus Christ.

Fancy light effects shone on the stage as the event went on. Eventually, it ended, and the audience cheered. After the show, Patch stuck around chatting with a few of the audience, but soon had to leave.

 

Patch will narrate the event three more times this month. Twice more it will be at Wedcot, Real Dreams (120/234/101), at December 9 - 10am SLT and December 19 - 4pm SLT. The "largest last show of the season" will be in XeoRealms, "This special location will only be open prior to the show starting and will close to the general public shortly after the show," at Waters of Derlem (221/220/27). 

For those who can't make any of these dates, Willow Sleydon will narrate the event at Wedcot on December 8, 15, and 21 at 6PM.

 

Seasons Greetings

Wedcot Center Park

The last time we heard from Gemma, she was at a tribute to Disney theme parks. In today's article, she checks out Second Life's counterpart to Disney's Epcot: Wedcot Center Park in the Real Dreams sim. Gemma found some rides, and other attractions.
