Information for New Parade Coming to Walt Disney World
Disney as released new information on the new nighttime parade that will light up the streets of Magic Kingdom Park this summer. “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away,” is going to be an amazing parade that will showcase new float construction made in the U.S.
Disney is sharing some exciting updates let’s see them listed below.
“Disney Starlight” Official Poster
Let’s kick things off with a first look at the official poster for “Disney Starlight.” This design, which will take its place amongst the iconic artwork below the Main Street, U.S.A. train station, captures the creative vision for the parade by showcasing both modern stories and familiar nostalgia. And if you’ve been following our “Disney Starlight” updates closely on the Disney Parks Blog, you may notice some friends on the poster who we haven’t talked about yet.
“Disney Starlight” Coco Float
“Disney Starlight” will get un poco loco with a new Coco float at Magic Kingdom! In a celebration of the Pixar Animation Studios film, sounds of Mariachi music will announce the arrival of a larger-than-life Pepita, wings spread above the parade route. Below, Miguel will strum his guitar at the foot of a marigold bridge to the Land of the Dead, complete with sugar skull fireworks.
This new Coco float is an explosion of color and light you won’t want to miss.
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.
