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

[Splash4eva]

I'm not being silly, I'm just saying we shouldn't fear monger unless there is some proof that there will be budget cuts.

History should be proof enough. Im willing to wager this doesnt open on time and is not what originally was planned. Not sure how we could ever prove it tho

They’ll say something like while we continue to bring Disney Starlight to life we will “temporarily” bring back a Disney classic, the Main Street Electrical Parade .

Whatever! As long as something's on Main Street next Spring/Summer!!!!

As good as Starlight's Art looks. If MSEP & PTN are still intact, why not use them?! They're doing no one any good being Locked Up!!!!!

Well into 2025? If Summer is still the plan won’t they need to start casting around the beginning of the year?

I would think after the holidays they would begin the install the lighting package, if they are going to do it.

That all has no impact on the release of teaser videos.

I totally agree. To me its an absolute disgrace Disney has gone this long without a nighttime parade and as “old” as MSEP is. It still is better than having nothing there at night

All projects get scope creep of some sort and have to be paired down between conception and deployment. The question is do you go over budget or do you pair back?

Standard project stuff that people like to over analyze way too much.

They always pare back, on either budget or content.

Silly wade, this is wdwmagic! Fearmongering is what they do best here!

They're not wrong.

How so? Were all the concerns about Tiana fear based? Or accurate concerns that are now presenting actual issues?

It would be nice if this whole Site loved Starlight!....

I love that MK will have a night parade - I wonder if anything will be sacrificed for the budget to allow it?

But even a budget cut night parade will be a wonderful addition to the park.

Nothing should. MK hasn't returned MISI(not the most important thing I know. but it added to MK's Day), OUAT or the Trolley Dancers.

I do think FOF should return to Normal, will it? Only TDO knows...............

People on this site (myself included) over exaggerate things all the time out of fear. We're all die hard fans, it's what we do. Sometimes those things end up being true, and sometimes they don't. Talking about Tiana's I remember many people on here were so upset about the now grass in front the drop, when it wasn't themed and was just a bar there were a lot of comments about how it looked horrible and how the ride was doomed to fail cause of it. Now of course Tiana's has many other issues but that's not one of them. That was just one specific example I was able to think of right now. I don't want to continue talking this though as I don't want to turn this thread into something it shouldn't be.

It’s pretty sad we have to think this way but it’s true. Hopefully Starlight will at least be on par with Paint The Night and have the same popularity.

I personally love Paint the Night so I'd be extremely happy if was that quality.

I was just making a joke, I didn’t mean for it to turn into a serious discussion

It's also sad to worry if MK has enough money to actually get this done!

We'll see!..........

Its not a matter of having enough its a matter of being willing to spend it and spend it wisely

Park history is riddled with Disney projects going over budget.

Budgets are almost never cut after approved and greenlit.
