Warning: Disney's Starlight Parade Closed on These Dates
Even before Magic Kingdom's new nighttime parade, "Starlight: Dream the Night Parade" debuts, Walt Disney World warns guests that it will be available on these dates.
Starlight: Dream the Night Parade Opening
Magic Kingdom fans have been waiting for a nighttime parade since 2016. "Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" will draw inspiration from the rich history of nighttime parades at Magic Kingdom. Get full details for which characters will be featured HERE.
"Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" parade will debut on July 20th at Magic Kingdom. Due to the overwhelming popularity of this parade, Disney made changes to Park Reservations. Find out how this will affect your trip HERE.
As we hoped, there will be 2 showtimes nightly for this parade at both 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm. As stated before, this will also change the showtimes for Happily Ever After starting in July.
Unavailable Dates for Disney's Starlight Parade
The real question that many Disney guests had was if this would be affected by special ticketed events at the Magic Kingdom in partitcular for the holiday seasons.
Walt Disney World confirms that "Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" parade will not be offered on nights that offer Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
You can see all of the dates for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party HERE. Disney has confirmed the return of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, but a full listing of dates has not been released yet.
Disney Starlight Viewing Tips
Our best suggestion (depending on how late your family can stay in the park) is to enjoy the second parade at 11:00 pm. During the 9:00 pm time slot, enjoy lower wait times on your favorite attractions.
Disney Starlight Parade unavailable on Magic Kingdom party nights
Disney has announced a significant change to the parade route. The parade will begin on Main Street USA and travel along the parade route towards Frontierland to allow for better guest flow at the end of the night.
