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

[Lord Fozzinator]

I do think a “Magic Kingdom” parade float would be a cool idea with icons such as Cinderella Castle, Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Space Mountain. They probably won’t do it but I think it’s a cool idea. A small train could also go around the edges of the float.

They also said in the last blog post that there is more royalty in the parade, so another princess is likely getting a float.

My guess is Tiana to maybe encourage people and give 'em a little push to see a certain attraction that they still need to see return on investment on..... also could be a good chance to feature Tiana in her iconic ball gown look that many complain isnt in the ride. Also allows Tiana to still be in a parade at MK if FoF is reworked or replaced in the near future (it cant last forever)

Has anyone else noticed Cinderella castle appears to be outline in lights in the Coco concept art?

I'm really hoping its a hint that castle projections could be incorporated into the show, even if its just a starry night sky simple vibe. Could also be cool for the castle to sparkle a bit once the blue fairy gets right in front of it. I just wonder if the lighting around the hub will be too bright to see the projections nicely enough, or if the floats are too tall to block the projection path.

Tiana is already on the princess float with Cinderella, Belle and Princess Aurora.

Cram more people into the hub for a single parade effect instead of spreading them out along the parade route?

Keeping my fingers crossed there will be smaller floats to accompany the larger floats like MSEP and Spectro had.

Looks like more equiptment will be getting installed soon, a bracket got added below the electrical box to the pole 2 days ago.

Have you seen anything added yet to the bracket?

I'd be pretty surprised if we don't have a Tangled unit. A very prominent scene is designed well for a light parade.

If they got real creative we could have an At last I see the light, A whole new world and Kiss the Girl combo unit.

I'd guess Ariel or Jasmine.

I was thinking the same thing. I know Tangled is used in everything but “At Last I see The Light” seems perfect for this parade.

I could definitely see a combo float similar to Spectros finale. For Aladdin though I wish we could get the Genie float from Dreamlights or have another float with similar lighting. I feel like it gives Mack Paint The Night vibes but in an elaborate way. Hopefully Starlight has a fun wild float like that.

I still think there should be lamplighters singing “trip a little light fantastic” but what do I know?

They haven't added anything yet.

Unfortunately, I've got nothing on my end for a debut date. I'd trust Steve's reporting, though, because Disney isn't going to announce a debut date when it's not ready. I don't want them to cut the quality of this parade and have it debut sooner.

…so which “end” is yours?

It appears cast have started receiving news of the roles they will be learning.

So, Rehearsals are imminent or Soon?

What are the odds Jiminy Cricket returns as the MK nighttime host?

Those cast must be extremely excited to be part of the first light parade in so many years at MK. Especially the one who gets to play the Blue Fairy and lead the parade.

Hard to believe the last one was 8.5 years ago! But it will be so nice to have one again
