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

I predict there will be between at least 15 to 20 floats. We’ll see for more announcements of new floats.

15 or 20 wouldn’t be bad. Spectros count would be amazing but that’s unlikely.

I think if there are several more floats yet to be revealed either they will start releasing concept art more often or they will keep some of the floats a surprise.

I thought the streaming numbers for Wish were actually quite good.

They weren't at debut; it got pumped up as successful by being compared to only a small handful of films, but it was definitely not pulling high numbers.

Like, it got half of what Elemental got in the same time and that movie has been completely absent from the entire park since its debut.

Unless there's stats showing it's completely turned around since then.

I would be shocked if there were that many

I know it’s been said the end of May is not happening for the debut but I wonder if they might begin previews around that time?

Would be nice if it was confirmed that FOF is once a Day now(we were wondering in the FOF Thread)because Rehearsals are Starting!!

I Hope MK is making Progress!!!

Inspecting the Commercial closer...the Pan Float might just be Dreaming Up's!

I was watching this again and realized we might also get the Big Ben clock tower that, in Dreaming Up, comes before the big moon float. However instead of Marry Poppins maybe it will be Tinkerbell?

If this is true then it would be pretty much a sister of Dreamlights from Tokyo Disney which has 20-22 floats. Paint the Night only had 7-8 floats. Main Street Elec Parade also had 20+. I'm sure there's gonna be some filler floats between the major ones.

Found this interview on YouTube from about 2 weeks ago. Nothing we didn’t already know but what interests me is how they plan on making this immersive as if you’re sitting in the Stars and surrounded by points of light.

Maybe Projections on the Castle and Main Street? Granted, that's only half the Route....


Thanks for this!

I could see the castle and MS projectors being used, but not sure what would happen with the rest of the route like you said. Town Square, Liberty Square and Frontierland do not have projectors… yet? IMO they should do this also for HEA.
Frontierland would be the weakest viewing area though due to only one side of the route having buildings to project on. The other side, trees, I guess would be lit by floods, similar to the hub trees. Possibly even the “firefly” effect by either lights or lasers.

Pretty soon there will be construction walls they can project on…

Unfortunately true. Curious if those walls will be going up before Starlight begins. If not it will be a limited chance to see Starlight with RoA and Frontierland the way it should be. Definitely a view many should take in while they can.

How much advance notice will we get on TSI's and Liberty Belle's closure??? I'd like to think We'll see Starlight before Walls.....

The Best Case Outcome would be if ROA was saved! Then MK wouldn't have a Brand New Parade along Walls......

I have not been following that whole mess but my guess would be we will get the summer at least with ROA.

Could be a couple of months, could be a lot more. There's no way to know until Disney says something

I would think right after the Memorial Day weekend since the summer season pretty much starts around there..

July 1, at the earliest. Others have said Memorial weekend is off the table, and it makes zero sense to debut a parade the next weekend.

Here's Hoping!!!!!

Hopefully TDO has a Date in Mind......

 

[Giss Neric]

I actually don't want any projections at all in the castle or main street. It will just sway our attention from the floats which should be the main focus. I want everything to be dark and only the floats are lit up.

There is indeed a date in mind. And it isn't that far away.
