Hello to my fellow Disney fan from Pennsylvania! Thanks for coming to planDisney, Mary Ellen! I’m happy to help with your Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning!
Based upon your question, I’m guessing you’re visiting Magic Kingdom Park and hope to see the
Disney Festival of Fantasy parade and the
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade. These are great opportunities to see some of your favorite Disney characters, listen to some of your favorite Disney music, and enjoy the magic of Disney!
I see that times are not currently listed for either parade beyond January 2026. Times will likely be listed for both parades in the coming days. For example, during the third week of December 2025, parade times for the Disney Starlight parade were only available for dates through January 10, 2026. So, I anticipate times will be announced soon.
Mary Ellen, in addition to the Magic Kingdom parades, you won’t want to miss the
Happily Ever After fireworks show. The nighttime sky will light up over Cinderella Castle as Disney tunes fill the air, and projections bring the castle to life! Happily Ever After will be presented at 9:00 PM on February 13, 2026!
Dreams do come true!
Jonathan
