Hi there, Garrett. Welcome to planDisney.
What a wickedly fun vacation you have planned during the spookiest season of the year. Visiting Walt Disney World in October may be one of my favorite times to visit. With pumpkin wreaths and fall decorations, it's all just a bunch of magical Hocus Pocus!
You've asked a fantastic question! I'm just as excited as you are to see the new, enchanting
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" nighttime parade. This parade will be filled with Blue Fairy magic and feature some of our favorite characters in beautiful illuminating fun.
Garrett, at this time, I don't have any information on the opening date of the parade or what the time will be. I am hoping that this information will be announced soon. What we do know is that this sparkling parade is scheduled to begin sometime this summer, which is good news for your fall vacation. When the opening date for this parade is announced, it will be very exciting news. I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for this announcement. As we get closer to the opening date, be sure to check the
Hours & Events Calendar for show times.
A few new shows will be premiering at Hollywood Studios at the end of this month, so make sure to add to your plans,
"The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure" and
"Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After." Fall seems like the perfect time to check out a show featuring the villains we love to loathe!
I hope to hear more about the nighttime parade soon. Like Blue Fairy magic, maybe if we both wish on a star each night, we'll hurry that announcement along. In the meantime, have fun planning your perfect October vacation. Visit us again at planDisney with any questions you may have. We will be here, and we're happy to help!
Happy magical planning!
Shonette
