Wonder if they were doing a rehearsal or testing tonight. Around 1am ish I saw a lot of search lights at MK that were slowly moving. I think weather conditions tonight made the search lights more noticeable but it almost seemed like there were more of them than usual….
There is a CM Party tomorrow night...
IDK why Starlight would add more Search Lights?

Hopefully the rehearsals are still going on. No Clues(that I've seen)are on the Float yet......

I saw the search lights as well this morning (~4am), and their movement looked similar to what is typically seen at the castle DJ during special events. I think you’re right and this was probably a rehearsal/test for the CM party.

Got to see Starlight twice last week during our first trip back to WDW in over 3 years. Overall we enjoyed it, definitely great to have something back at night in the MK.

While I agree that more street performers would be nice, I can’t help but think that the money would be better spent on another float or two. MK is so busy most nights that a majority of the crowd isn’t watching from the front row. Because of this, we really couldn’t enjoy or appreciate the performers.

Honestly, the length felt about right for a parade in 2026. It’s sad but every minute counts when you’re paying what we are to visit today. Overall I see it as a total win for MK even with its minor flaws.
