Nighttime at the Magic Kingdom is about to get even more magical!
Magic Kingdom
Currently at the Magic Kingdom, Happily Ever After lights up the skies around the park. When Disney changed the fireworks show to Enchantment for Disney World’s 50th birthday, many fans were upset and begged Disney to bring back Happily Ever After, and they listened and brought the show back in April of 2023! Fans have also been begging Disney to bring back a nighttime parade to Magic Kingdom. You asked, and they listened! Last year, it was announced that Magic Kingdom will get a brand new nighttime parade in the summer of 2025, and now we know when it will debut!
The new parade is called Disney Starlight! Disney Starlight will follow in the footsteps of previous iconic nighttime spectaculars like the Main Street Electrical Parade and SpectroMagic.
“Disney Starlight” will come to Magic Kingdom in Summer 2025 using the latest technology to bring Disney stories to life and will feature moments from fan-favorite films like Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Peter Pan,” “Frozen” and “Encanto.”
The parade will be “brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy” from movie, Pinocchio. We find this to be fitting as the Blue Fairy used to lead the Main Street Electrical Parade! The parade will also feature characters from movies like Peter Pan, Encanto, and Frozen.
A new nighttime parade “Disney Starlight” will come to Magic Kingdom in Summer 2025 using the latest technology to bring Disney stories to life and will feature moments from fan-favorite films like Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Peter Pan,” “Frozen” and “Encanto.”
When Disney made this initial announcement, we were given a vague opening timeline of summer of 2025, but now we finally having an opening date! The parade will start on July 20th.
We are eagerly waiting for this new parade to join the Magic Kingdom parade line-up along with Magic Kingdom’s daytime parade, Festival of Fantasy.
