Ahead of the arrival of the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade this summer, more details and concept art continue to be released. Today, Disney shared concept art for what the Coco float will look like. With this concept art also was released a beautiful new poster celebrating the new nighttime parade. Disney also shared that currently, the Disney Live Entertainment team has been busy designing and choreographing in Florida, recording music in London, and checking in on float construction across the U.S.
Disney Starlight Poster
The release of the Disney Starlight poster is more than just showing another look at this parade. It also is the official poster with the design that will be found with other posters under the Main Street, U.S.A. station as guests enter and exit the Magic Kingdom. This poster “captures the creative vision for the parade by showcasing both modern stories and familiar nostalgia.”
This poster also reveals some new Disney friends who haven’t been revealed to be a part of the parade yet. What do you think of it?
Coco Float
There will also be a new Coco float in Disney Starlight when the parade opens at Magic Kingdom. This float will celebrate the Pixar film and be accompanied by the sounds of Mariachi music which will announce the arrival of a larger-than-life Pepita with wings spreading above the parade route. Down below, Miguel will strum his guitar at the foot of a marigold bridge to the Land of the Dead. This will be complete with sugar skull fireworks. This float promises to be an explosion of color and light that won’t want to be missed.
Disney has shared other floats in Disney Starlight previously. Disney shared a few more details about these floats today. The information can be found here:
Other “Disney Starlight” Floats and Can’t-Miss Details
All the “Disney Starlight” floats from our poster may now be revealed, but there are more surprises in store — including a few details you may have missed!
The very first float sets the tone for our star-kissed constellation of Disney dreams, all brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy. See that glowing star at the end of the Blue Fairy’s wand? To paraphrase a fan-favorite Magic Kingdom nighttime spectacular, that’s actually the “first star you’ll see tonight.” You’ll be invited to wish upon this very bright star to kick off our parade.
Keep an eye out for Peter Pan, Wendy and Elsa on their own floats too!
We can’t wait for Isabela to make her Magic Kingdom debut alongside her fellow Madrigal family members in the Encanto portion of “Disney Starlight.” In true Isabela fashion, she’ll swing on floral vines just like she does in the film.
Main Street, U.S.A. will also “make way” for a Moana float, complete with gorgeous, luminescent waves. While Moana takes center stage, if you look closely, you’ll notice Pua, HeiHei, and even a manta ray representing Gramma Tala joining her journey.
We’ve already shared a peek at the “Disney Starlight!” princess float, which revealed the influence of Disney Legend and artist Mary Blair on the unit’s design. This float will feature beloved princes and princesses like Aurora and Prince Phillip, Tiana and Prince Naveen, Belle and the Beast, and Cinderella and Prince Charming.
But what you don’t see in the artwork are the royal court dancers who will bookend this princess segment – one of many references to the classic “Main Street Electrical Parade.”
