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

[Disgruntled Walt]

Sooo.... in the end... we knew all the floats.

What we didn't know was that the finale of Mickey and Friends was going to host 3 other IPs in a megafloat.

That's similar to the finale of SpectroMagic, which was several IPs in a string of floats, much like the concept art we saw here tonight.

It's very clear to me that the main inspiration for this parade is SpectroMagic rather than MSEP, and that is a HUGE, HUGE WIN.

I’m very lucky that my trip plans will let me be there on opening night, but million dollar question becomes how early do I have to post up on main street in order to get a spot? I’m worried the answer might end in an AM

Normal people won't be lined up in the AM. Id like to think you'd be fine grabbing a spot at 6, but i think I depends if you absolutely need to be on main street? If so, maybe you'll have to be there before FOF.

It's a worse title in some ways, though it sounds less like a skin disease than Spectro did.

I always thought it sounded like a product on a 1am kitchen cleaning infomercial

It was a joke inside WDE (who produced the parade) that Spectro sounded like a horrific skin disease. A doctor would read your test results and tell you, with a solemn voice "I'm sorry, but you have... spectromagic. There is no cure."

That's what I was referring to. Although now that I think about it , sure does sound a lot more like a cleaning product...

Clean your counters in just one wipe with spectroooooomagic

It's contracted in the pixie mines inhaling all that dust.

Wait, is spectromagic a floor wax or a dessert topping?

Here's a look at Mickey, Minnie and Goofy in their costumes:

These definitely look like spin-offs from year of a million dreams. Not a bad thing just saying that's what they look like.

Hummmmm..... I think the train is big homage to MSEP along with the "pixie dust trail" along the bottom edges of the floats

Musically I agree though, very much The spiritual successor of spectromagic.

Even though it is a massive draw on paper, live entertainment spends money but doesn’t make money. Honestly just happy that investment in entertainment is happening on this scale again.

Does MK not offer paid viewing through dining packages like Disneyland does for parades?

Whelp, I just saw the Parade now.

Guess I don’t have to pay for admission.

I wonder if Starlight or anything else really was planned for D23 2020? Of course, we never got that far.....

Wish I could but I'm from Jersey.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

The crowds of the late 2010s are gone?

I’d give them much more credit if they admitted that

 

[Hey_yo90]

Ok, so I now have more context on what I saw. I saw a mockup of a float, not a real float. It was in fact a small mockup of the Mickey section of his float. It was beautiful in person, but definitely looking at the art it was some sort of pre-construction visualization piece, possibly for cast to use during rehearsals

Bull

Still no Parade Times this Morning. Could we get them Friday with the normal Calendar Update or will we be waiting a while?

 

[JD80]

I assume this will follow the standardish parade route as everything else?

I'm expecting it! The only Question here is where will it step off?? City Hall like MSEP & Spectro or Start a New Thing by Starting at TBA every Time????

I am interested to see the logistics of running this just with how crowded the Hub gets

I know they did this in the past and CMs will figure it out but so many guests now have never been when a night parade was running might be a little dicey first few nights.

Especially with the length of the last float. Hope they took into account the corners it has to make.

Not for Festival of Fantasy. The new nighttime parade hasn't premiered yet. So that remains to be seen.
