This looks and sounds spectacular!

Agreed!

So who's got their park res already set for July 20? I wouldn't be surprised to see park hoping to MK close that day.

I heard that music and started tearing up right away. I’ve missed the old evenings at magic kingdom more than anyone could ever know

UPDATE… dammit I can’t stop and I have somewhere to be

I'm shocked HEA is still changing on the 6th.
some Soft Opens those 2 Weeks maybe?

There were some delays, and there are very likely previews - certainly for CMs.

Depends on Weather........ TDO might want to keep Park Hopping if an Afternoon Strom chases everyone out of MK.......

Hey!!!!! I was in a 3 Hour Storm May 28th 1999 for DL's MSEP Debut at MK! It stopped just in time for 9PM! I know what can happen here!!! LOL!!!!!

Well, I am sad because my trip is July 5-12. On the other hand, it may be less crowded since Starlight is on the horizon.

We check out ON the 20th and won’t be able to stay that late.

Peter Pan and wendy are on the float from Tokyo.

It's not the same float from Tokyo. All the floats are BRAND NEW for Starlight!

Main theme = out of the park!

Something tells me it might be inside the park too! (Starting on July 20th)

I’m actually moving to Florida (about half an hour from WDW) in a couple weeks and need to get new AP’s so I’m hoping there are some reservations left for me to snag once I get my passes.

Um… it’s a media event. The only way we know about it is through them

Ignore it. Some people are too judgmental.

 

[Brer Panther]

So, only nine floats? Little disappointing, but the parade still looks nice for what it is. I'd probably be more excited if I actually cared about most of the IPs they're featuring in it.

 

[TTA94]

Great updates today! There is still some small details we don’t yet know though which is ok. Like if Anna and the gang will be with Elsa? Performer costumes, maybe other small floats? Some or most of this could be something we might not known until closer to the debut.

Even a snippet of Starlight's score made me regain that peaceful and relaxing MK atmosphere that's been notably absent from the park for over a decade now. Sure Happily Ever After is decent but I always felt like something was missing until this evening.
