Thanks! So, with no rumors of Soft Opens or CM Previews....Might be a Quiet 2 Weeks......

Which is a little strange they are not hyping this more. Still time I suppose. I feel like FoF got more attention prior to its debut? MK could use some positive news that’s for sure, then again a parade is not going to make any RoA fans feel any better. If anything Starlight will be easily shredded among fans if the slightest thing is wrong or not up to expectations. It will definitely be interesting to see what the reactions will be.

There will be some videos highlighting the development of the parade.

Starlight shouldn't have a Light Magic Reaction........This looks like it Belongs with Disney's successful Nighttime Parades.

Starlight will still be around during the holidays, still performing twice daily (subject to cancellation) except on Very Merry Christmas Days

Paint the Night had a soft reopening 2 days before the official premiere on the 70th (ostensibly the media preview, but I digress). I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened before the 20th.

They might need every last day possible, the conditions are different due to a delay. I don't think even the team behind it knows a soft opening on 19th is a possibity yet, few more days have to go by before they are comfortable everything is fully ready.

So MK is still Working.....Let's hope it turns out...... :)

Does Starlight have anymore Tests or are we good there?

I totally get why they can not run Starlight on party nights for day guests and it has always been that way with past night parades, but it is to bad they can not run it during MVMCP. They would have to only have one showing of Christmastime and one Starlight, or the other way around. Downside is obviously only one Christmastime.

Of course we don’t yet know how Starlight will be but I wonder if there will be the potential for a Christmas version like Tokyo does with Dreamlights? Obviously not this year.

Is DAH returning with Enchantment next year? If so that'll be one hell of a lineup with:
Parade
Fireworks
Parade
Fireworks
Hope they continue with that!

It seems Disney has confirmed After Hours at Magic Kingdom will return in 2026, but no other details yet:
