Get Ready for Disney Starlight: A New Nighttime Parade is Coming to Magic Kingdom!

Picture This: You’re sitting on Main Street, U.S.A., churro in hand, waiting for the magic to begin. The lights dim, the music swells, and before you know it, a dazzling parade lights up the night sky. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, in summer 2025, that dream becomes reality at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom with the all-new parade, "Disney Starlight!"

A New Era of Nighttime Magic

Announced during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, "Disney Starlight" promises to carry on the legacy of iconic parades like the "Main Street Electrical Parade." But don’t expect a simple rerun of your childhood favorite—this parade is pulling out all the stops with cutting-edge technology and new storytelling magic.

Meet the Stars of the Show

Bringing "Disney Starlight" to life are some of Disney’s most beloved characters, thanks to the magic of the Blue Fairy. Expect to see familiar faces from classics like Peter Pan and modern favorites like Frozen and Encanto. Yes, that’s right! Anna, Elsa, and even Mirabel are ready to twirl down Main Street, U.S.A., in this unforgettable spectacle.

Disney Magic Around the World

But wait, there’s more! If your Disney bucket list includes more international flair, you’re in for a treat. Tokyo Disneyland is debuting "Reach for the Stars" on September 20, 2024, a nighttime spectacular that’s sure to dazzle guests with its own unique flair.

And across the pond, Disneyland Paris is getting in on the action with its own new nighttime spectacular set to launch in January 2025. This show will take you on a moving journey through the timeless songs of Disney and Pixar, projected not only on Sleeping Beauty Castle but also down Main Street for the very first time.

The Magic is in the Making

Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro left no doubt during the announcement: This is not just a vision—it’s happening. Imagineers are hard at work across the globe, with plans in motion and dirt already flying. In other words, get ready, because Disney magic is about to hit a whole new level!

So mark your calendars, Disney fans. "Disney Starlight" is coming, and it’s bringing a whole new wave of pixie dust to the Magic Kingdom. Whether you're planning your next trip to Orlando, Tokyo, or Paris, there's a whole world of Disney nighttime magic waiting for you.
