Disney4me Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago A NEW nighttime spectacular parade is coming to the Magic Kingdom this summer! ©Disney | Spectromagic Parade in the Magic Kingdom Nighttime parades have been a staple of Disney’s theme parks since the Main Street Electrical Parade debuted at Disneyland in 1972. A clone of that original debuted at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 1977, and played at the park until 1991. That same year, the Magic Kingdom original SpectroMagic parade debuted at the park, and became a fan-favorite, playing at the park until 1999, and then again from 2001 to 2010. In the years since, the original Electrical Parade appeared intermittently. This summer, a NEW nighttime parade will debut at the Magic Kingdom: STARLIGHT! ©Disney According to Disney, the new parade will combine “nostalgic Disney storytelling and glowing innovation, continuing the legacy of dazzling nighttime entertainment that holds a special place in the hearts of so many” and feature characters from “classic and new Walt Disney Animation Studios films like Peter Pan, Encanto, Frozen, Moana” and more. ©Disney While most specifics of the parade (which Disney still lists as debuting in “Summer 2025”) have yet to be revealed as of early May, we can speculate based on what we do know. Disney has confirmed that the show will run on the park’s traditional parade route from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A. View this post on Instagram We would imagine that the parade could run two performances a night on this route, with the second traveling in the opposite direction of the first. Whether that’s the case or not, given Starlight’s emphasis on lights and star iconography, the parade will not run until the sun goes down, which during the Orlando summer will likely be after 8:00 PM. ©Disney Disney Starlight is scheduled to premiere this summer!
