    We will be in MK of July 28. Is the night Starlight parade running on that night weather permitting

    Welcome to planDisney, Joyce! Thanks for sharing your question with us! 

    Your visit to Walt Disney World is just under a month away. To quote a very famous mouse: “Oh, Boy!” You’ll be enjoying everything the Vacation Kingdom of the World has to offer, including amazing parades and fireworks, in no time at all. 

    I checked the Hours & Events Calendar (which you can find here), and it does not currently show Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away as happening on July 28th, 2026. I jumped over to the parade’s webpage to double-check, and it appears that there are no scheduled performances after July 18th. My guess is that the nighttime parade’s schedule hasn’t been updated yet, and I would suggest checking back regularly ahead of your visit. 

    I wish I had more information to share with you, but the good news is that it appears that other parades and nighttime shows are currently scheduled for your visit.  At the Magic Kingdom, the Festival of Fantasy Parade is scheduled for 3 PM, and the Happily Ever After fireworks show will start at 10 PM. Over at EPCOT, Luminous The Symphony of Us is scheduled to start at 9 PM at EPCOT, as will the Wonderful World of Animation at Hollywood Studios. Remember, all schedules are subject to change. 

    I hope you have a great visit to Walt Disney World, Joyce. Don’t hesitate to come back if you have more vacation planning questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help! 

    Magical travels!
