Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away Nighttime Parade

Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is Magic Kingdom’s new nighttime parade that debuts on July 20, 2025. The parade is expected to feature eight floats with a mixture of new and classic characters, along with on-the-ground performers. Preview everything we know ahead of its debut below.

How Disney Describes it:


Find a sweet spot under the stars to watch Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away—a shimmering processional inspired by the classic Main Street Electrical Parade. It’s a star-kissed constellation of Disney dreams, brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy.

Watch as enchanting moments unfold from favorite Disney and Pixar stories such as Moana, Peter Pan, Encanto, Frozen, Pinocchio and more. It all happens along the parade route—from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A.
