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

[doctornick]

No update that recently, and parts to act may have got caught in the crossfire with MK's night parade. Some things have been in motion though that suggest its still a possibility.

Thanks for that info. I did wonder about that since I recall when the parade talk started you had stated that to location of MK wasn't necessarily the target (or only thing being considered)

A day parade at DHS would be a good touch to help offer more to do there.

I hope so. There’s no need for more than FoF and Starlight

MISI ran for Years. !t’s not a bad thing to have lots of Entertainment!

MK needed a Night Parade back!

I agree it's more important than DHS at moment.

I’m happy this was finally announced and it’s much needed at the MK.

MK is finally getting it back. I feel like with the expansion and the new nighttime parade, MK May FINALLY shed its long (unfairly imo, I might add) held reputation of “Disneyland but worse”

I don’t think that’s a very popular narrative outside the fandom and at end the day that’s very subjective and debatable.

My point exactly. Magic kingdom is its own thing and it’s very cool! Especially fantasyland!

Also, people often just count rides but MK has a good bit more shows which IMHO helps to balance the park more. I would agree that DL is better but I don't think the difference is stark as it looks by just comparing rides.

BBTM (and Moana if it were to eventually happen) would help to make them more comparable though.

Didn’t an insider say 2025 was a huge year for entertainment at WDW ?

I wonder if this is the first announcement among others for more offerings at the parks.

It would be interesting as to what else they could do. Always more streetmosphere is an option but that’s not a draw.

A night show at DAK? Doesn’t seem likely until there is more open to extend hours.

A parade at DHS? Plausible and perhaps being worked on but feels like it would have been announced if under consideration for 2025.

Some new Hub shows for DHS? A projection show at MK before HEA?

A new fireworks show at MK? Maybe but HEA is so popular

I can see these being very plausible.

Now build the Paris arcades so that normies can maneuver when people gum up the sidewalks.

Can confirm the Peter Pan float is coming directly from Dreamin Up. Unsure yet if any other floats are reused.

Wasn’t that a day time parade?

 

[SweetDuffy101]

yes im so confused though how are they going to put lights on a daytime unless they apply bulbs inside the float.

 

[RescueTheDay]

Wasn’t that a day time parade?

Correct. They’ll be modifying the float to be used for this parade though. Haven’t received any further details yet.

You might not know but I was curious if the old Blue Fairy float from Dreamlights might be used?

Also since the Tokyo floats are usually large the fact they are reusing the Dreaming Up Peter Pan float should give us the idea of the size of the rest of the parade floats. Probably similar size to the FoF floats?

 

[Mark Dunne]

This is terrific news, and im going to thank universal studios for these new updates, because I'm not sure we'd be getting this if E.U wasn't arriving in 2025. so great news all round, this feels like all reactive from Disney, where they used to be the proactive ones. I'm just pleased as a guest I'm getting nearer the value i expect from our tickets, let the magic begin

Looked again at the Concept art it doesn't look like the 2001 Blue Fairy unless it's rebuilt?


Wonder why we didn't hear any Drone News? I believe Dreams That Soar is well received. Still Ending Labor Day or extended at DS?

Does not sound like it will be extended past September 2 - see below:

Wonder if Disney Dreams that Soar is next for an extension.

It wont be extended
