Showtime Changes for Disney's Starlight Parade
Disney's newest nighttime parade, Disney Starlight, is quickly becoming a fan-favorite, but new changes may affect your next trip to Walt Disney World.
Disney Starlight Parade
"Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" parade debuted on July 20th at Magic Kingdom. Due to the overwhelming popularity of this parade, Disney even made changes to Park Reservations.
Disney Starlight is the all-new nighttime parade coming to the Magic Kingdom. Dream-like floats and thousands of lights will glitter along as the songs that ignite your emotions fill the night.
As we hoped, there will be 2 showtimes nightly for this parade, as we head into the fall months we see a few changes.

This of course also changed the showtimesfor Happily Ever After. Previously, Disney updated Disney Starlight operational hours through October showing both 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm showtimes each night.

The showtimes will continue to be offered at 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm from now until August 30, 2025 (with the exception of special event dates.)
Happily Ever After Changes
With this shift for Disney Starlight to an 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm schedule, this will also affect the Happily Ever After fireworks show. Beginning Sunday, August 31, 2025, Happily Ever After will be offered at 9:30 pm.

With showtimes no longer available later into September, it will be interesting to see if showtimes continue to change as we head into fall. Fingers crossed that showtimes will continue to be offered for the Disney Startlight parade.
