This shares new float idea artwork and the parade poster, plus a number of contemporary particulars in regards to the upcoming leisure spectacular. Plus, extra hype for Foremost Road’s first night time parade in virtually a decade, and first new night time parade since I used to be a child within the Nineteen Nineties.
For individuals who are unfamiliar with Disney Starlight: Dream the Night time Away Parade, it’s the religious successor to SpectroMagic and Foremost Road Electrical Parade and is slated to debut someday in Summer time 2025. It was first introduced throughout final yr’s D23 Expo, and particulars have slowly trickled out since then, most lately over the vacation season with the complete title and extra reveals of floats.
Disney Starlight will use the most recent expertise to inform new tales in regards to the characters you’re keen on, in response to Walt Disney World. All of this is dropped at life by the magic of the Blue Fairy, along with beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios movies “Peter Pan,” “Encanto,” “Frozen,” and extra. We now take a look at most of those floats through idea artwork and the parade poster…
In line with Walt Disney World, we’re just some months away from the debut of “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night time Away,” an all-new nighttime parade that can mild up the streets of Magic Kingdom in Summer time 2025! To prepare for the massive day, the Disney Stay Leisure crew has been busy designing and choreographing in Florida, recording music in London and checking in on float development throughout the US.
Let’s kick issues off with a primary have a look at the official parade poster for “Disney Starlight.” This design, which is able to take its place amongst the enduring art work under the Foremost Road, U.S.A. Prepare Station, captures the artistic imaginative and prescient for the parade by showcasing each fashionable tales and acquainted nostalgia.
In the event you’ve been following Starlight updates intently, you could discover some pals on the poster who we haven’t talked about but.
“Disney Starlight” will get un poco loco with a brand new Coco float at Magic Kingdom!
In a celebration of the Pixar Animation Studios movie, sounds of Mariachi music will announce the arrival of a larger-than-life Pepita, wings unfold above the parade route. Under, Miguel will strum his guitar on the foot of a marigold bridge to the Land of the Useless, full with sugar cranium fireworks.
This new Coco float is an explosion of colour and light-weight you gained’t wish to miss:
This Coco float seems to be implausible.
Coco having a presence in Disney Starlight is unsurprising, because it’s been a staple of nighttime spectaculars for the final a number of years. And for good motive. The music of Coco is energetic and emotional, so even when there are not any accompanying visuals, it’s at all times an asset to the nighttime spectaculars. To not get too carried away, however Coco was virtually sufficient to redeem Harmonious. Virtually.
Within the case of Starlight, it’ll clearly be a mixture of music and visuals, and the vibrance of Coco ought to be excellent for an evening parade. My hope is that the marigold bridge is hundreds of factors of sunshine, and that Pepita and Dante are likewise vibrantly illuminated. Pepita retreating could be superior. Once more, I don’t wish to get too carried away, however this may very well be the spotlight of Starlight.
All of the “Disney Starlight” floats from the parade poster now have been revealed, however there are extra surprises in retailer — together with a number of particulars you’ll have missed. Right here’s a rundown…
The very first float units the tone for our star-kissed constellation of Disney goals, all delivered to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy.
See that glowing star on the finish of the Blue Fairy’s wand? To paraphrase a fan-favorite Magic Kingdom nighttime spectacular, that’s truly the “first star you’ll see tonight.” You’ll be invited to want upon this very shiny star to kick off Disney Starlight Night time Parade.
Preserve a watch out for Peter Pan, Wendy and Elsa on their very own floats too! (For these holding rating at residence, this brings the entire float rely to 4: Coco, Blue Fairy, Peter Pan & Wendy, and Elsa.)
Not pictured on the poster artwork is the Encanto unit (#5), however this was the second float revealed again at D23.
Isabela makes her Magic Kingdom debut alongside her fellow Madrigal members of the family within the Encanto portion of “Disney Starlight.” In true Isabela style, she’ll swing on floral vines similar to she does within the movie.
Foremost Road, U.S.A. will even “make means” for a Moana float (#6), full with beautiful, luminescent waves.
Whereas Moana takes heart stage, if you happen to look intently, you’ll discover Pua, HeiHei, and even a manta ray representing Gramma Tala becoming a member of her journey.
The princess float (#7) had its personal related first look, which additionally revealed that Disney Starlight Parade Will Supply ‘Nod to Previous’ Magic Kingdom Night time Parades, in addition to the affect of Disney Legend and artist Mary Blair on the unit’s design.
This float will function beloved princes and princesses like Aurora and Prince Phillip, Tiana and Prince Naveen, Belle and the Beast, and Cinderella and Prince Charming.
What you do not see within the idea artwork are the royal court docket dancers who will bookend this princess phase – one in every of many references to the traditional “Foremost Road Electrical Parade.”
Lastly, Walt Disney World ended with this tease: “waltzing princesses aren’t the one royalty you’ll see in Disney Starlight, however that’s sufficient for right now!”
Turning to commentary and hypothesis, my assumption is that the ‘different royalty’ in Disney Starlight will probably be Minnie & Mickey Mouse (and perhaps Goofy?). Casey Jr. pulling Mickey Mouse’s drum float is the iconic visible for Disney night time parades. Reprising this after such an extended hiatus for Magic Kingdom is a slam-dunk, no-brainer choice for which followers of all ages will go wild. This might deliver the float rely to eight.
My hope is that Disney goes this route with the Casey Jr. and drum float within the opening, and one other finale float (#9) with a medley of different fan-favorite characters. That’s the system from Dreamlights, which is Disney’s #1 night time parade. They might additionally observe the lead of Paint the Night time (and loads of different parades), with Minnie and Mickey Mouse within the finale. However my guess is that the ‘not the one royalty’ tease is referring to Minnie and Mickey Mouse, probably in royal apparel (however not essentially–they’re “Disney royalty” even when not a correct princess and prince).
In any other case, our guess is that that is in all probability it when it comes to the floats in Disney Starlight Night time Parade. To be clear, this announcement indicated that the entire floats on the poster have now been revealed, not the entire whole floats. So there may very well be much more. We’d be ecstatic if the entire quantity is 10 or increased. We’re skeptical of that, as Starlight is already Paint the Night time size simply based mostly on what we all know. Regardless that it’s nonetheless a lot shorter than Dreamlights, it’s onerous to think about that Walt Disney World goes to foot the invoice for a Dreamlights-duration parade.
That’s not criticism, it’s simply recognizing the truth of leisure at Walt Disney World vs. Tokyo Disneyland. If Disney Starlight: Dream the Night time Away is even half pretty much as good as Dreamlights, it is going to be arguably one of the best nighttime parade to ever roll down Foremost Road in Magic Kingdom. The music, floats, and costuming are equal components expertise, creativity and coronary heart. If Starlight has all three, it is going to be an emotional tour de drive.
There’s a motive this was the #1 announcement from D23 Expo for us. We can not wait to observe it with our fellow followers, and kind new ‘core recollections’ of a Magic Kingdom night time parade with our daughter throughout her childhood. Hyped is an understatement. Now the massive query on each fan’s thoughts: When Will Starlight Night time Parade Debut at Walt Disney World?
This announcement did point out that the parade is “just some months away.” If we have been to take that in probably the most literal sense, that will imply Disney Starlight will debut on June 10, 2025. It’s fairly apparent that wasn’t meant to be taken actually–and I extremely doubt it’ll debut on a random Tuesday in June. However the lack of a date at this level undoubtedly calls into query a pre-Memorial Day debut (a la Paint the Night time’s return at Disneyland), and does make us begin to assume that perhaps someday in June is extra possible. I suppose we will see–we’re following this very intently and can preserve you posted!

What you do not see within the idea artwork are the royal court docket dancers who will bookend this princess phase – one in every of many references to the traditional “Foremost Road Electrical Parade.”
Lastly, Walt Disney World ended with this tease: “waltzing princesses aren’t the one royalty you’ll see in Disney Starlight, however that’s sufficient for right now!”
Turning to commentary and hypothesis, my assumption is that the ‘different royalty’ in Disney Starlight will probably be Minnie & Mickey Mouse (and perhaps Goofy?). Casey Jr. pulling Mickey Mouse’s drum float is the iconic visible for Disney night time parades. Reprising this after such an extended hiatus for Magic Kingdom is a slam-dunk, no-brainer choice for which followers of all ages will go wild. This might deliver the float rely to eight.
My hope is that Disney goes this route with the Casey Jr. and drum float within the opening, and one other finale float (#9) with a medley of different fan-favorite characters. That’s the system from Dreamlights, which is Disney’s #1 night time parade. They might additionally observe the lead of Paint the Night time (and loads of different parades), with Minnie and Mickey Mouse within the finale. However my guess is that the ‘not the one royalty’ tease is referring to Minnie and Mickey Mouse, probably in royal apparel (however not essentially–they’re “Disney royalty” even when not a correct princess and prince).
In any other case, our guess is that that is in all probability it when it comes to the floats in Disney Starlight Night time Parade. To be clear, this announcement indicated that the entire floats on the poster have now been revealed, not the entire whole floats. So there may very well be much more. We’d be ecstatic if the entire quantity is 10 or increased. We’re skeptical of that, as Starlight is already Paint the Night time size simply based mostly on what we all know. Regardless that it’s nonetheless a lot shorter than Dreamlights, it’s onerous to think about that Walt Disney World goes to foot the invoice for a Dreamlights-duration parade.
That’s not criticism, it’s simply recognizing the truth of leisure at Walt Disney World vs. Tokyo Disneyland. If Disney Starlight: Dream the Night time Away is even half pretty much as good as Dreamlights, it is going to be arguably one of the best nighttime parade to ever roll down Foremost Road in Magic Kingdom. The music, floats, and costuming are equal components expertise, creativity and coronary heart. If Starlight has all three, it is going to be an emotional tour de drive.
There’s a motive this was the #1 announcement from D23 Expo for us. We can not wait to observe it with our fellow followers, and kind new ‘core recollections’ of a Magic Kingdom night time parade with our daughter throughout her childhood. Hyped is an understatement. Now the massive query on each fan’s thoughts: When Will Starlight Night time Parade Debut at Walt Disney World?
This announcement did point out that the parade is “just some months away.” If we have been to take that in probably the most literal sense, that will imply Disney Starlight will debut on June 10, 2025. It’s fairly apparent that wasn’t meant to be taken actually–and I extremely doubt it’ll debut on a random Tuesday in June. However the lack of a date at this level undoubtedly calls into query a pre-Memorial Day debut (a la Paint the Night time’s return at Disneyland), and does make us begin to assume that perhaps someday in June is extra possible. I suppose we will see–we’re following this very intently and can preserve you posted!
