    Are there dining options that come with viewing of starlight parade on Jan 4 2026?

    Hi there, Deborah!  Thanks for bringing this de-light-ful question to planDisney.  Since your trip is just a few dreams away, let's get to floating.

    It sounds like you are interested in securing a fantastic viewing location for Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, Walt Disney World's newest nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom.  While dining packages that include viewing for this parade aren't currently available, I'm optimistic for your chances of scoring a dreamy spot to watch as well as enjoying a delicious meal.  

    Deborah, I checked the Entertainment Schedule for the night you will be there and saw that the parade has two performances, at 7:45 PM and 10:00 PM. Right in between at 9:00 PM is Happily Ever After, Magic Kingdom's nighttime fireworks spectacular.  In my experience, many families watch the first parade performance, stick around for the fireworks and then exit the park right after.  Because of this, I've had good luck in finding a front-row view for the 2nd performance of the parade, particularly in Frontierland.  If all else fails, let a friendly Cast Member be your guide by asking for help in finding a spot. Times are subject to change and could be impacted by inclement weather, so it's always a good idea to double check the schedule.

    Now let's talk about dining.  I'm not sure how many people are in your party, but I checked the My Disney Experience Mobile App and found availability while you are there for a party of 4 at several Magic Kingdom Table Service restaurants.  My personal favorite is Liberty Tree Tavern for one reason, Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake, and I have a tip for you.  The Diamond Horseshoe serves the same menu, so be sure and check availability there, too, if you don't find the table you are looking for at Liberty Tree Tavern.  

    Deborah, I hope your night at Magic Kingdom sparkles and shines.  I'm wishing on a star for you to secure the view of your dreams for Starlight.  If you have any other questions, please bring them back so my planDisney pals and I can shed some light on them.  

    Have a magical trip!
