Big news from the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, as an all-new Nighttime Parade is coming to Magic Kingdom in Summer 2025


Picture this: you’re nestled on Main Street, U.S.A. with your loved ones getting ready to watch a nighttime parade come to life right before your eyes. Maybe you’ve got a churro or a Mickey Ice Cream bar in hand, or are eyeing a nearby popcorn cart, who knows! But the lights dim, the music swells, and now you’re watching a brand-new nighttime spectacular at the Magic Kingdom Park.

You don’t have to imagine this for much longer, because in summer 2025, a brand-new parade will make its way to the Most Magical Place On Earth.


Broadway darlings — and former Disney Live Entertainment Cast Members! — Rachel Potter and Eden Espinosa graced the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event stage during Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase panel with this monumental announcement. The all-new parade “Disney Starlight” is coming next summer!

“Disney Starlight” will continue the nighttime spectacular legacy started by the “Main Street Electrical Parade” using the latest technology to tell new stories about the characters you love. All of this is brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy, in addition to beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios films “Peter Pan,” “Encanto,” “Frozen,” and more.


Josh D’Amaro kicked off the event by making it clear that all projects being announced are in active development. “This isn’t blue sky,” D’Amaro said, “we’re gonna do all of this.” He said plans have been drawn up and dirt has been moved on some of the projects.



The news was revealed to a sold out audience of 12,000 Disney fans at the Disney Experiences Showcase on Saturday, August 10 at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event in Anaheim, CA.
