The all-new parade "Disney Starlight" is coming next summer to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

"Disney Starlight" will continue the nighttime spectacular legacy started by the "Main Street Electrical Parade," using the latest technology to tell new stories about the characters you love. All of this is brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy, in addition to beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios films "Peter Pan," "Encanto," "Frozen," and more.

It was to improve guest flow; specifically the green light was given after WDWs 40th night.

If I remember correctly, wasn't the original purpose of the Hub Expansion at the Magic Kingdom a way for the nighttime parades to run much easier and allowing more space for guests to leave?

When busy it ran twice a night. With Wishes in between.

Your comment makes me feel old. Here's two decent recordings of the parade during its younger days.

Nope, debuted before I was born and ended its second run when I was a toddler. I actually haven’t watched it before on YouTube even, but I will today because I’m interested.

Ever see Spectro ?

Those were the days! We will never see something like that again.

I’m betting at least two But in all seriousness, they can’t make the parade way too long, because with two shows and the amount of space between Frontierland and Main Street USA, they can’t make the parade too long or they won’t be able to fit in two parades a night easily.

Oh I'm sure they'll be floats we don't see till opening night but it probably won't be as many as Spectro Magic but with this parade I want quality over quantity.

Maybe some Floats will be a Total Surprise???

I would be shocked if we got anything close to that. I'd expect it to be closer to FoF PTN and MH. I'd be amazing if we got anything close to that though.
