Last summer at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade was announced. The new nighttime parade is set to arrive at Magic Kingdom later this summer.
Ahead of this new parade’s arrival at Walt Disney World Resort, the Disney Parks Blog gave an overview of everything that is known about this parade. This includes a look at the concept for the parade. It also includes a partial look at the parade’s lineup. Check out what is known here:
What is “Disney Starlight” about?
“Disney Starlight” transports guests into the stories of our beloved Disney characters. Through the power of the Blue Fairy’s magic, you’ll watch dreams and wishes come true. As the lights dance from float to float, you’ll see favorite classic and contemporary characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disney Pixar films, some for the very first time in a Disney Live Entertainment nighttime parade!
Brought to life by the creative hands and hearts at Disney Live Entertainment, “Disney Starlight” is the perfect continuation of our legacy of nighttime parades, with bits of nostalgia sprinkled throughout a dazzling procession that raises the bar for the future.
This idea holds true for every part of this parade, not only in the float design, but in the music, choreography, and more. With several members of the creative team having worked on fan-favorites such as “Main Street Electrical Parade” and “SpectroMagic,” you will see the inspiration from ever-iconic electrical parades of years past. “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” recalls the nostalgia of nighttime spectaculars with innovation lighting the way for a magical experience like never before.
What Characters Can We See in “Disney Starlight?”
From the moment the Blue Fairy’s magic wand lights up the night, dreams will come to life with an enchanting order of floats with these fantastic friends:
The Blue Fairy
Peter Pan & Wendy
Asha
La Familia Madrigal (Mirabel, Isabela, Bruno)
Elsa
Aurora and Prince Phillip, Tiana and Prince Naveen, Belle and the Beast, and Cinderella and Prince Charming

There’s still more to come to this magical list, but this is the order you can look for soon!
