Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away debuted in July 2025 as the first Magic Kingdom nighttime parade in 10 years. It has 10 floats themed to CocoFrozenEncanto, and more. The final float is the original character of Whimsy the Train. The parade’s Moana wave dances received new props and choreography in December.
