    can we get a definitive answer on when the parade schedule will be released for August? I am flying from the UK next week and I will be there for most of August but I would like to see which days the starlight Parade. When will it be officially released?

    Hi Craig!

    Welcome to planDisney!

    Unfortunately, I’m not sure when the schedule for the Starlight parade will be released for August. But my guess is that we’ll find out soon, so I’d keep an eye on the Hours & Events Calendar in the coming days. In the meantime, there are a couple of things to think about that may give you an idea of what to expect. 

    Since its debut last week, the Starlight parade has been shown twice each night: at 9 PM and 11 PM, which is one hour before and one hour after the fireworks show, Happily Ever After. Currently, Happily Ever After continues to be scheduled for 10 PM for the majority of August (subject to change), so the parade times may end up at similar times as when the parade debuted. 

    Another important thing to consider is that the Starlight parade and Happily Ever After will not be shown on nights when Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Instead, the Magic Kingdom will close to regular park guests at 6 PM on party nights, and the party will have its own unique entertainment. 

    In August, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will take place on the following dates: 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, and 29.

    I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a direct answer, but hopefully that gives you some guidance! If you have any other questions, let us know. We’re always happy to help! 

    We’ll see you real soon!
