    My husband and I are going on a Disney cruise and we’re adding on a day at Magic Kingdom on September 6. Based on the events calendar, I can’t tell if starlight parade will be that day. When will I be able to know?

    Hi Abbie!

    Welcome to planDisney! What an incredible vacation you have coming up! 

    Unfortunately, it looks like the scheduled times for the new Starlight parade are not available for September at this time. But the good news is that Magic Kingdom is not hosting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party that night, so there’s a good chance you’ll be able to enjoy the parade! 

    Something else to consider is that Happily Ever After is currently scheduled for 9:30 PM on September 6, 2025. Upon its debut, the Starlight parade has been shown one hour before Happily Ever After and one hour after it. So, that may give us an idea of what to expect. 

    Keep checking the Hours & Events Calendar as your trip gets closer. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it updates for you soon!

    In the meantime, as you plan your Magic Kingdom day, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to stake out a spot for the parade, especially if you’re hoping for a spot along Main Street or near Cinderella Castle so you have a great view of the fireworks, as well. I think I might go the opposite route, though, and try to catch the parade in Liberty Square, then make my way behind the castle for the fireworks. 

    No matter how you choose to experience it, I hope you have the most magical night! Let us know if you have any other questions as you continue to plan. We’re always happy to help!
