    I’m planning a visit for the week of Oct 11–16 and when I checked the entertainment calendar the new Starlight Parade only appears through Oct 4. Will more dates be announced for mid-October or is the parade not going to run past Oct 4?

    Hiya Victoria,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your Starlight Parade question! Can you believe that in just a few short weeks you’ll be walking right down the middle of Main Street?  This is one of my absolute favorite times to visit Walt Disney World Resort. I just love seeing the glowing pumpkins that line Main Street and all of the festive fall foliage—it feels like stepping straight into a Disney fairytale! 

    Now, let’s twirl right into your Starlight Parade question. You’ll be happy to know that the parade will be running on select nights the week of October 11–16 with two showtimes each evening—8:00 PM and 10:00 PM. The parade does not run on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights, which in your case means October 13th, 14th, and 16th. On those evenings, party Guests will instead get to enjoy Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, one of my very favorite spooky-fun traditions, with a special event ticket. To double-check all the dates and times, I recommend keeping an eye on the Hours & Events Calendar before your trip—it’s a great way to see what’s happening each day.

    And while you’re there, don’t miss EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival! It’s like having a passport to delicious bites and sips from around the globe. Plus, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series is the perfect way to end an evening filled with Disney magic.

    Victoria, if any other questions pop up while you’re planning, please feel free to visit us again. We’d love to help make your vacation practically perfect in every way.

    See ya real soon,

    Christina
