MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

[TTA94]

Given summer booking levels, I presume they’d give us a date if they were confident. We are getting close but some of the effects need to be attempted on the parade route. They aren’t there quite yet. Soon.

If they run into any hiccups what is the worst case scenario? 2026? Or will they debut it this year regardless of party season?

Hopefully the effects aren't major if there’s hiccups...

Has any Floats been on the Parade Route?????

I would think MK has some confidence already...

I wonder what will come first, starlight debut date or not so scary dates.

What's going to make them money? I'd bet on MNSSHP dates being announced soon-ish to juice fall bookings while the parade gets mentioned a few weeks prior to its debut (because this summer is a lost cause at this point).

Any word if they’re going to do the old style parade/fireworks/parade or are they going to drive this full speed into an operational nightmare?

We're thinking it will be the Old School Schedule. No confirmation of that, Can't Wait to see That Schedule again!!!

Yes,MNSSHP does make money, but a Starlight Date will be a very good look for MK!

Summer's a lost cause...........I don't like that wording.........

Zero inside information here, but let's be honest:

this, since there are ongoing cast rehearsals, I'm sure they have a window they are aiming for.

Maybe some of the Parade Effects are like a Bonus? Why have active Rehearsals if MK already knows Starlight has Parade Route Problems??

Thanks for the heads up. I really haven't heard anything about Halfway to Halloween.......

I just think they aren't as far along yet in terms of on site rehearsals, but cast is learning and getting ready off site. Maybe in May the park starts seeing over night work and rehearsals? Just guessing by the sound of things.

Since tomorrow is "Halfway to Halloween" (when they usually announce MNSSHP), and this week has been a particularly slow news week, I can see them announcing MNSSHP before Starlight

I did not know that! UOR hasn't made news about HHN 2025 either.......Shocking for them.........

Last year, they announced all the HHN houses after the tickets went on sale. Universal are not likely going to announce anything for HHN until after Epic Universe opens and they want people to visit the original parks

Wow, some restraint..... Would be nice if HHN's team waited till EU gets Fireworks(if that's still the case...)
