New concept art has just been unveiled for the Moana-themed float in the upcoming nighttime parade, Disney Starlight, which is set to debut at Magic Kingdom in Summer 2025.


Continuing the Legacy of Nighttime Parades

Disney Starlight continues the tradition of nighttime parades at Magic Kingdom, carrying on the legacy of classics like the Main Street Electrical Parade. This new parade uses the latest technology to bring beloved Disney stories to life. Expect dazzling lights, updated effects, and a completely new soundtrack to match the parade’s modern take on classic tales.

Beloved Characters and the Magic of the Blue Fairy

In addition to Moana, Disney Starlight will feature characters from Peter Pan, Encanto, Frozen, and more. Each float will be connected by the guiding light of the Blue Fairy.

    We can only hope. I’m curious of their description of who they are looking for as it sounds like high energy performers? Could Starlight be high energy? 🤔.

    I wonder how strong those HKDL Rumors are since PTN is not in the 20th Plans....

    TTA941 day ago

    Not that I’ve seen. There is a new rumor for Hong Kong that involves the Frozen float, which would be interesting because I believe it’s also supposed to be back in DLs PTN?

    Do we have any rumors on if DL is reworking PTN??

    And restore the FoF finale music. Maybe “those songs” will be allowed again one day.

    I just realized they added these boxes to a few lighting poles in the hub now too, replacing the old lighting boxes. New: Old(same pole) contained a box in the back:

    I was watching a stream today and this pole looked interesting. There was a electrical box added to the lighting pole near the river boat sometime last month. Today: Sometime early last month:

    Very Fair but I think we're thinking any Lighting Package would be used during the Intro and Outro like DL MSEP 2022???
