Disney World Special Parade at Magic Kingdom on New Year Night - Sha Kids Fun

Описание: Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away (the current nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom) is a dazzling, starlit spectacle inspired by classics like the Main Street Electrical Parade. It features glowing floats made with cutting-edge point-of-light technology, synchronized music (an original score with woven-in Disney song nods), dancers, and beloved characters from various Disney and Pixar stories. The Blue Fairy's magic ties everything together, turning wishes into shimmering reality!

Here are the *main floats and featured characters* (in approximate order from recent reports and official descriptions):

*Opening Float: The Blue Fairy* (from *Pinocchio*)
Leads the parade with her glowing wand and the "first star you’ll see tonight." A sprinkle of magic reveals *Geppetto* and *Pinocchio* on the back (a sweet nod to the film's wishing theme). This sets the dreamy tone!

*Wish Float*
Inspired by Wish — features **Asha**, her goat **Valentino**, and the magical **Star**.

*Encanto Float*
A vibrant, curving LED design with swirling floral magic. Stars *Mirabel**, **Isabela* (making her Magic Kingdom parade debut, swinging on vines), and *Bruno* (with fun details like his rat visible from certain angles).

*Frozen Float*
Elsa commands the scene with wind effects and screens showing other Frozen moments/characters (like from *Frozen II*'s Ahtohallan). It's powerful and icy-cool!

*Disney Princesses / Royal Court Float*
Influenced by artist Mary Blair's style — a majestic, twinkling display with princesses and their princes: *Aurora* and *Prince Phillip**, **Tiana* and *Prince Naveen**, **Belle* and *the Beast**, and **Cinderella* and **Prince Charming**. Waltzing royal court dancers add elegance (a callback to past parades).

*Coco Float*
Celebrates Coco with *Miguel* and his spirit guide *Pepita* (the alebrije jaguar), bringing vibrant colors and family energy.

*Moana Float*
Moana sails center stage on her boat, with companions *Pua* (the pig), *HeiHei* (the rooster), and a manta ray representing **Gramma Tala**. Ocean waves and emotional vibes make this a fan favorite.

*Peter Pan Float*
Features *Peter Pan**, **Wendy**, and **Tinker Bell* in a whimsical, flying adventure scene.

*Finale Float: Whimsy (the Starlight Train)*
A whimsical train (nod to the old Electrical Parade's finale) carrying a joyful parade of characters: *Goofy* (as engineer), *Pluto**, **Donald Duck**, **Daisy Duck**, **Snow White* and *Dopey* (in a twinkling mine car), *Rapunzel* and *Flynn Rider* (on their boat with a lantern), *Aladdin* and *Jasmine* (on a magic carpet), and capping it off — *Mickey Mouse* and *Minnie Mouse* in the caboose. The back includes an animated stellar *Jiminy Cricket* (a tribute to SpectroMagic).

Dancers and performers weave between floats with choreography inspired by each film's style, adding energy and movement. The whole parade feels like a constellation of dreams coming alive under the stars!

**Note**: As of mid-January 2026 (like tonight at 9:15 PM CST), the parade is running with reduced showtimes due to lower post-holiday crowds — often just one performance around 7:45 PM on weekdays, with two on weekends (check the My Disney Experience app for your exact day). Crowds are lighter now, so it's easier to snag a great spot without arriving super early.

If you're catching it soon, it's pure nighttime magic — the lights, music, and characters make it unforgettable! 🌟✨ Let me know if you want tips on the best viewing spots or anything else! 🎉
