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.

Strange. We can only hope plans changed and they have decided to make a few changes. If anything though they’ll just throw in the Brave float and call it a day. No additional, or rather returning, performers and heaven forbid they fix/re record the finale music 🙄.

No rumor, I saw it with my own two eyes. Float was hoisted up on 4 jacks and the float was getting its paint touched up

Very Fair. Thanks!

They’ll just have a handful of showings for CMs and their families to figure this out. But, they do this kind of nighttime crowd control during party season so it’s not as though they are walking into this blindly.

I've thought of this too. Not related to the new Lighting or FOF itself but, run something before or either side of HEA. Adventure Friends or FOF so the Public and CMs can get back into MK's Old Routine. Then again DL didn't do this before the 60th.....

Not expecting this to happen but if they install the new lighting quickly they could run FoF prior to Starlights debut as a testing period and for crowd control. I’d think it would be easier on the CMs to get into the routine before Starlights big debut.

That would be awesome. Something else I think would be cool to see is FoF at night with the new route lighting, like during a special event or maybe DAH.

Maybe they update the main Street payment along with the new lightning in January (or just the new lighting) and then bring FoF back to full force! I can dream right?

TTA943 days ago

Yeah definitely. That’s when it sounds like they will begin installing the new route lighting. New pavement has not been rumored, at least I don’t think, so we are just guessing. But it would be the best opportunity to do it before they are dealing with two parades.

TTA943 days ago

They would have to wait till January definitely then I guess either cut FoF performances or shorten it so it could travel around the hub.

Starship8243 days ago

I'm sure they wouldn't be able to do any parades if they were repaving main Street

I would think MK would wait till after NYE.
