Disney Starlight Debuts July 20

The wait is almost over! Disney Starlight, the new nighttime parade for the Magic Kingdom will will officially debut during the evening of July 20, 2025!

This new parade will portray movement, color, and imagery using more options than ever to use lighting and video elements as a storytelling tool. 

For instance, the Blue Fairy magic, seen throughout the parade, is made completely from points of light. In addition, the use of a curved LED panels on the Encanto float gives the opportunity to create magic and movement that a static image would not provide.

Disney also shared a first look at the grand finale float, which you can see above. As you can see, this float features a number of fantastic characters, including Donald and Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Snow White and Dopey, Flynn and Rapunzel, Aladdin and Jasmine, as well as, of course, Mickey and Minnie.

Here’s a look at the other floats announced for the parade:
