With the debut of Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away just a few months away, Disney has revealed new details, including the official parade poster and a first look at the Coco float concept art.

Official Disney Starlight Poster

Disney shared a first look at the official poster for Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away. This design will be displayed among the iconic artwork below the Main Street, U.S.A. train station. The poster combines familiar Disney nostalgia with new stories, visually capturing the parade's creative vision.

The poster also hints at characters and details that had not been previously announced.

Coco Float Concept Art


Disney also released concept art for a new Coco float that will join the Disney Starlight parade at Magic Kingdom. Inspired by the Pixar film, the float will feature Miguel performing at the base of a vibrant marigold bridge to the Land of the Dead. Above him, a larger-than-life Pepita will soar with its wings spread wide. Sugar skull fireworks and vibrant colors will enhance the float’s energetic, Mariachi-inspired theme.

Other Parade Highlights


While the poster reveals several key floats, Disney also confirmed additional details about other parade units:

  • Blue Fairy Float: The parade's opening float will feature the Blue Fairy, guiding guests to wish upon a star as the parade begins.
  • Encanto Float: Isabela will swing on floral vines in a lively tribute to Encanto, joined by her fellow Madrigal family members.
  • Moana Float: Moana will travel on glowing waves, accompanied by Pua, HeiHei, and a manta ray representing Gramma Tala.
  • Princess Float: Inspired by Disney Legend Mary Blair, this float will feature beloved princes and princesses like Aurora and Prince Phillip, Tiana and Prince Naveen, and Belle and the Beast. Royal court dancers will bookend this princess unit as a nod to the Main Street Electrical Parade.

Disney Live Entertainment team has been busy designing and choreographing in Florida, recording music in London and checking in on float construction across the U.S., with the show set to debut mid-Summer 2025.

    Maturity is a subjective concept.

    The problem with the fandom these days Is they don’t hold the parks managers to account. Instead going for the shiny distractions For Instance…paying $175 and sitting on the curb on mainstreet for 2 hours to “save your spot” for a low budget parade…when they have steadily fallen behind attraction capacity the other 12 hours a day to strategically create upsell pressure Choose your priorities…just price the right ones Desperation to pay for anything is not a classic sign of maturity

    That’s a bit unfair. We are all here. While the pathology we all share may be on a spectrum, we are all on it. “Normal” people don’t care about log flume theming, as an example.

    Multiple people in this thread, repeatedly asking for the same information daily, and combining them all together, probably 12 times a day (based on the number of ignored posts…):
