Disney’s Starlight Parade was first announced this August at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. This will be the first new nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom since the Main Street Electrical Parade ended its run there in 2016.
The parade will be brought to life by the Blue Fairy from “Pinocchio,” and feature characters from “Peter Pan,” “Encanto,” “Frozen,” and more. Disney has said that this new parade “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.”
Disney’s Starlight Parade will premiere at Magic Kingdom next summer.
