Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is the nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom. Its arrival on July 20, 2025, marked the return of a nighttime parade to the park after more than a decade.

Drawing inspiration from classic electrical parades, Disney Starlight blends familiar nighttime sparkle with modern technology and updated storytelling.

The parade features an original musical score, interactive MagicBand+ elements, and advanced lighting effects that bring each float to life.

Disney Starlight is guided by the magic of the Blue Fairy and showcases Disney characters from Peter Pan, Encanto, Frozen, Wish, and other Disney favorites.
