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

[Agent H]

Its a joke something planned for this long still couldnt be ready in time. Something basically built off property where not much is needed to be done on the parks…

How long do you think it’s been planned for?

Long enough for this to have debuted by now !!! Especially for a company who desperately needs any positive push

 

[doctornick]

Why would you expect the poster to show every single float in the parade?

I’ve never seen a poster, art work, or marketing photo of previous parades that showers every float in a single image.

And - regardless of their likely being a Mickey and friends float of some sort - we already know there is an Encanto float not on the poster. No reason there couldn't be others.

Merida, Pocahontas, Ariel, Jasmine, Mulan, Megara, Tinker Bell, Alice, Leia, Storm, Raya....

Unfortunately no Storm at WDW. Maybe someday in DLR in a princess lineup

I know this is different than MSEP returning to MK. However, MK was able to plan MSEPS Return around Opening Day for IOA Itself and IOA Potter. MK Should have had EU'S Opening Day as a Strong Goal for Starlight!

Storm? Leia? I don’t think they are official Disney princesses.

I agree. Although, I wonder if they see a June debut better since there won’t be as much competition for media coverage.

Who Knows! I know back in 1999, there was a Media preview for MSEP right before the first night, saw it on the news.

I can see them fitting into a daytime parade but struggling to think how Ariel, Merida, Mulan and Pocahontas could fit into this style of night parade.

Little Mermaid was featured in both Spectro & Paint the Night. I would personally be surprised if Ariel didn’t show up in this one (even if I’m pulling for Aladdin instead).

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Ariel not being in Starlight would be a surprise.

Storm? Leia? I don’t think they are official Disney princesses.

Not official Disney Princesses, though neither are Anna and Elsa

Though the wording was "Royal" not "princess" so think they would qualify (even if not realistic)

agree, is every float strictly a princess float? aside from coco the art is petty much touting it that way. I liked how msep and spectro mixed in different characters and themes, this one is looking to be all princess oriented.

I’ve never seen a poster, art work, or marketing photo of previous parades that showers every float in a single image.

The closest is the 2001 promo image for Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights. The floats that was left is the Seven Dwarfs Mine cart section, the Winnie the Pooh float, and Cinderella's ball and carriage section.

Peter Pan isn't princess and Encanto isn't princess

 

[jrhwdw]

Peter Pan isn't princess and Encanto isn't princess

Neither is Blue Fairy.

 

[TsWade2]

There might be more floats than 8, but we’ll see. I hope Mickey Mouse and his friend are in it. But that maybe most likely.

 

[TTA94]

We still haven’t seen the Frozen float. I’m hoping it’s a full size float and not just a small float. I do hope there will be small floats to go along with the large floats.

 

[Lord Fozzinator]

This parade has the potential to surpass all previous nighttime parades, fingers crossed that they don’t mess it up

I don't think there is any parade that can surpass SpectroMagic, except for a SpectroMagic redux.

Spectomagic 2: the return of spectomagic.
