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

Why did HEA move already if MK isn't confident on a Date?

I wouldn't read too much into firework schedules. It is certainly a hint of whats happening, but can easily be changed if needed.

Thanks Steve!

Crazy We're still at this Point TDO!

It has been a very aggressive timeline. Lots of things having to come together - not easy.

I never take for granted all the hard work it takes to put together experiences like this.

There is a lot of passion involved with projects like this. DLE has always had top quality talent that placed them above their peers.

It has always been very tight for summer, and on a somewhat flexible timeline. The reason a date has not been announced is that it still isn't ready, and they can't commit yet.

Judging by the number of "Show ignored content" items I see quoted in this thread, it seems like the same suspects ask the same questions 5 days a week, no matter how many times the question is answered, because they are apparently trying to put Violet Beauregard to shame - "I want it ALL and I want it NOW!!!!"

From the things I've heard, it is things outside TDO control.

Those stupid DIsney hating grifting Youtubers are now making lies saying that DIsney Starlight Parade got delayed. I didn't watch them, I just saw their title of their videos. Whatever yo do, don't believe them! They just want DIsney to go bankrupt as always!

But from what insiders have told us. It has been delayed. Heck they were shooting for earliest MDW off memory i was asking if June was possible and Steve asked depends on what part…

 

[Splash4eva]

My first thought is, “it’s difficult to delay something without an opening date.”

As long as it premieres before late September, it’s not delayed. People need to understand that any information provided on fan forums is not meant to be taken as fact.

Noone is taking it as fact but thats the beauty of having trusted insiders. You seem to have had some info on this parade. Im curious if you would share when Disney really wanted this parade ready for?

I find it hard they wouldnt want it ready for when Epic opened hoping to get people to get over to the castle and pay top dollar for a 1 day ticket justifying it because of the parade

It’s also not only WDWs first nighttime parade in several years but it’s also their first modern parade. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised they’re running into challenges.

So like, the creative team needed milkshakes for their nighttime lighting work but, unfortunately, the McDonald’s milkshake machine was broken AGAIN. And BAM! June was off the table.

A lot rides on vanilla milkshakes. More than we imagine.

Sorry if This has been answered but more modern than PTN?

Or the ice cream parlor right there on Main Street U.S.A?

I would think at the very least the same. PTN is 10 years old. Clearly a different style parade though with different lighting.

There are third party vendors building the floats.

Then there is hope for something other than the mirror float v23.

I've only seen 3.... MK along with DL & TDL in the 80's.

Doesn’t FOF count as a modern parade ???
