The “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” parade is set to debut at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World on July 20, 2025.

Guests of all ages will see dream and wishes come true along with their favorite characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disney Pixar films – some for the very first time in this new Disney Live Entertainment nighttime parade.

The original theme blends a musical score with classic melodies from beloved Disney animation films as Disney characters appear in shining, shimmering splendor. Inspired by the iconic Main Street Electrical Parade float, a whimsical train emerges to take dreamers on a ride through the stars.

Goofy, Pluto, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck lead a procession of Disney moments that include other characters such as Snow White and Dopey in a twinkling minecar, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider on their boat floating to a gleaming lantern, and Aladdin and Jasmine on a magic carpet ride.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Disney’s original dreamers close out the celebration in sparkling new form, reminding Disney guests to believe in the power of wishing on a star.

Other Disney characters in the nighttime parade include:

  • The Blue Fairy
  • Peter Pan & Wendy
  • Asha
  • La Familia Madrigal (Mirabel, Isabela, Bruno)
  • Elsa
  • Aurora and Prince Phillip, Tiana and Prince Naveen, Belle and the Beast, and Cinderella and Prince Charming 
  • Miguel and Pepita
  • Moana
