Thank You! We will See!....
Going back to Your earlier Post, You think MK might go back to 9:20 HEA along with 10:30 Starlight to start with?
I would imagine HEA would revert back to 9:20 anyway if it's not the first half of July.....

No, just providing some perspective. Disney is a multinational corporation with global influence and the biggest media company in the world. They build marvels of modern technology and deal with billions of dollars. No way they’re biting their nails over what a hyperbolic YouTube channel rants about them. That’s just silly talk. The poster I was responding to has a history of getting extremely upset over unusual things so just laying that out clearly for him or her.
Regarding the parade - my intuition is that it will be extremely good. Just because Disney World Orlando doesn’t have nearly as many irons in the fire right now so this parade will presumably have gotten a lot in the way of resources. And it’s a parade, with the benefit of night lighting. They know how to do parades. It will be great, no doubt. (And then a light will go out on one of the floats and Youtube commentators will declare it a dystopian hellscape on wheels, lol, but that’s how intrawebz talk goes.)

Funny you mention Rivers of Light vibes, I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully Starlight doesn’t get pushed out to 2026 and not necessarily because it would take that long to figure everything out but, Disney is all about timing and it will be party season.
From what I understand, that is not an option. Disney is spending significant resources to try and make sure the parade isn't more delayed than it already is.
Wow! Very Interesting! Maybe because Starlight might be the Face of Summer 2025? Not unlike DL F!'s Dragon-Less Summer 2009, where DL worked their butts off to get Murphy on TSI. Even if it was Sep 2009.
So, would Aug 1st be the Hardline Date? Or is Opening on a Non Party Night an option?

No, I don’t. I’m pointing out that they are struggling with the 9p/11p schedule with HEA at 10p.
In any event, every effort is being made to get this going.
Wouldn't be my first choice but there's always July 3-4th's schedule: HEA at 9 or 9:20 , Starlight at 10:30 and Midnight...

Would not at all be the first time.
This has been going on for years, as I am sure you are already well aware of.
It can be frustrating, but laughable at the same time.
This is why I keep telling folks I come across in my travels that are interested in the Disney Theme Parks to READ this Forum on this fabulous website, WDWMagic.
All the REAL news….and the real action related to the latest breaking info happens right here in real time on this very Forum.
Also, Steve only posts news when it is confirmed and legit.
No misleading clickbait nonsense…..as life is way too short for that crap.
WDWMagic is all of us.
We rock.

Exactly this, and it’s not just Starlight. The teams on Mermaid and Villains are working tirelessly to hit their debut dates too.
Less than a Week till CM Previews I believe?

And in that case, one would expect MK to extend hours to 12am on July 3-5.
Maybe?........I really meant MK could do that Schedule every night if it's easier to work around. We all Know Main Street empties after HEA.....
And maybe I misunderstood but before HEA moved on July 6th, I thought it was said that HEA can't be moved on a Dime because of Desert Parties?

July is the target date, from what has been discussed in the past.
Mid-July perhaps.

Yep! Villains previews start on the 21st, and Mermaid previews start on the 24th.
Thanks!
Well, I'm no slackard. I've already started rehearsing the bass part of the Hallelujah Chorus to join in at the Candlelight Processional. So, it'll all be fine.

Previews for LM have occurred already for some CMs (I think so far exclusive to HS CMs). Haven't seen anything on Villians so far.
This one occurred 2 weeks ago and they were all given these souvenirs at the preview event.
Sebastian was a meetable character too!
Thanks! You might want to Drop this in LM's Thread.
I'm not sure if I should be impressed they bothered to make a preview gift or confused why it isn't better. Both are valid options!
