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

[TheMaxRebo]

There could definitely be some people with flexibility in travel waiting to book

But probably more just scheduled for later in the summer, if Starlight and/or TT3.0 were important to them, and once you hit mid August start having the benefit of the Halloween parties so can't imagine a huge uptick in bookings after a date this is announced.

Just something else to add a bit of excitement with trips already booked or locals

The $99 hotel and half-off kids tickets is a pretty decent enticement. It would be nice if some of the "new" stuff was open early in the summer though. I don't think there's really much else to draw if they're not.

My guess? They haven't been fully infected by Bob and Josh yet, and leadership there still has some level of autonomy (and a clue). Others around here probably know more of the story.

International parks tend to have a bit more latitude than domestic (and DL quite a bit more than WDW). Orlando until just about 9/11 had similar levels of pull but sometime between that and the Great Recession really lost out. At least is my understanding... If leadership have a clue is dependent on your own opinion. Personally, I'm still of the opinion that perhaps Disney let some of their best retire too soon, and now keep people who aren't so good shuffling around in different spots instead of letting them go (especially at park VP and above).

I’ve heard the parade is facing delays. Unsure of how long.

EDIT: Not sure what happened with my autocorrect but you guys sure reminded me why I haven’t posted in months.

The lease?

The lease?

Apparently it's not a sign-and-drive agreement.

I'm still confused....

The lease?

Guessing a float was leased? Let the speculation begin which one lol.

Who is Disney leasing the nighttime electric light floats from?

I’m sure there’s a tariff on electric light parade float leases. Electric light parade float leases have done irreparable harm on the Idaho electric light parade float business.

Sigh, LOL!

 

[TTA94]

The only float that looks borrowed is Peter Pan so my guess is that one.

Maybe but why would that have a lease though? TDL never reuses Floats. Also I thought it was said that MK has all the Floats backstage???

Ruh roh. Mirror castle float to the rescue?

Not enough Lights and you can't Fly on it.

All the Floats for Starlight are brand new.

 

[MisterPenguin]

All the Floats for Starlight are brand new.

Shh... shh... shh.. you're spoiling our fun.

 

[ToTBellHop]

So what are they leasing? Popcorn buckets?

 

[jrhwdw]

Shh... shh... shh.. you're spoiling our fun.

I like Fun but is there a new problem or not?
