Hello there, Michael!
I’m so glad you asked about
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away because it’s such a special experience, and I'm so glad that Walt Disney World has a nighttime parade again.
As of right now, the official Disney calendar shows that the parade is scheduled to run nightly at 9:00pm and 11:00pm through Saturday, October 4, 2025. After that date, there aren’t any listed performances on the schedule, as you have mentioned.
Now, it’s always possible Disney could update or extend the parade schedule, but as of what’s posted now, there won’t be performances on October 21 or later in the month. I’d definitely recommend checking the official Walt Disney World calendar closer to your visit, since entertainment schedules can change depending on the season, crowd levels, or special events.
If the parade isn’t showing during your dates, don’t worry, you’ll still find plenty of nighttime magic to enjoy in October. For example,
Magic Kingdom will be in full swing with
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on select nights, which features its own exclusive Boo-to-You Parade, fireworks, and character meet-and-greets.
EPCOT will also still be hosting the
International Food & Wine Festival, which makes for a fun evening experience with entertainment and dining all around the park. You can also catch a great concert during the
Eat to the Beat concert series.
Michael, be sure to check back with us or the Walt Disney World website closer to your travel dates to see if the parade schedule has been updated.
In the meantime, if you find that you have more questions, please don't hesitate to stop by and visit with us again soon.
Toodles,
Korliss
