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

They almost never represent classic characters in the parks with their live action version. There’s the Ariel M&G at DHS. Can’t think of much else. The live action versions are not meant to usurp the originals. They are meant to shore up interest in a classic franchise.

I think I was scarred by DLP's Illuminations featuring a loooong segment on the live action Beauty and the Beast with the Celine Dion song. I don't want live action Snow White but I can see them including the live action dress minimum either in the parade of the Germany meet and greet

I’m guessing there’s a Mickey and Friends float, and either a Tangled, Snow White, or Aladdin float.

I am loving the Coco float. A lot of color and looks as though it will be a more upbeat and fun.

I was hoping they’d announce a date today. I’m going down in June for the final day of MuppetVision, and I’d love to know if I can plan to catch this too or if that’ll have to wait for a future trip.

They are saying late summer so I’m wondering if the May date got pushed out.

They are saying late summer so I’m wondering if the rumored Memorial Weekend date is no longer a thing.

Where have they said late summer? I am confident this opens well ahead of July 4.

Disney Live Entertainment team has been busy designing and choreographing in Florida, recording music in London and checking in on float construction across the U.S., with the show set to debut late Summer 2025.

That’s not in the press release. The press release says

We’re just a few months away from the debut of “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away,” an all-new nighttime parade that will light up the streets of Magic Kingdom Park this summer! To get ready for the big day, the Disney Live Entertainment team has been busy designing and choreographing in Florida, recording music in London and checking in on float construction across the U.S.


How do we define “a few months” from March 10?

I’ve only read “late summer” for Test Track.

Sorry, typo my side (I was in Test Track mode). It is looking more like mid-Summer for the parade. (article corrected)

Thanks Steve!!
So, around July 4th? Why is this Delayed already? Of course, TDO never said MDW.......

I believe the exact opening is still somewhat up in the air. There is a ton of work left to do to get this going, and it isn't go to be early summer. Exactly when depends how it all goes. The way things are panning out, WDW has a stream of new things between May and September, so it may actually work out quite well.

Which is why we have no date yet. How many weeks does Starlight need of Nightly Performances before Party Season?


MK should already be doing Starlight Prep work, Correct????

 

[MisterPenguin]

We've had Moana, Frozen, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Princess & the Frog already (I thought there were more on there). The only ones left that I can think fit could be Tangled with Rapunzel's glowing hair or Snow White to fit with the live action

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

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

I can see them fitting into a daytime parade but struggling to think how Arierl, Merida, Mulan and Pocahontas could fit into this style of night parade. Aladdin and Jasmine I can kind of see if it's similar to Peter Pan

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…
