Hours and Route Announced for Magic Kingdom’s New Nighttime Parade
Showtimes have been posted for Magic Kingdom’s new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away. The parade is scheduled to debut on the evening of Sunday, July 20, 2025. According to the Disney Parks Blog announcement, the parade is scheduled to begin at 9:00 p.m. and then again at 11:00 p.m.
Here is the announcement:
When Disney Starlight debuts on July 20, the new nighttime parade will be available at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. The parade will begin on Main Street U.S.A. and travel along the parade route towards Frontierland to allow for better guest flow at the end of the night.
Please note, Disney Starlight will not be available on evenings Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. And remember, this is an outdoor parade and is subject to cancellation due to inclement weather.
This new entertainment offering marks a significant return of nighttime parades to Magic Kingdom. Guests planning to attend on opening night or the days that follow should anticipate larger crowds.
Important Reminder for Annual Passholders: Due to expected demand, a theme park reservation is required to visit Magic Kingdom starting July 20th. (Details here.)
