    What nights for the week of August 22-29 will the nighttime parade in Magic kingdom happen? I know it will not occur during nights of the Halloween party, but I cannot find it anywhere in the calendar that week. Thank you!

    Hiya, Allison! 

    Thank you for stopping by planDisney again, this time with a question about Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away! You are in for such a treat. With dazzling floats, beloved Disney Characters, and plenty of pixie dust lighting up the night, this parade is truly magical. 

    Let’s shine a little light on your question! You are correct that the Starlight Parade is not scheduled on the evenings of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. During your visit, the party will take place on August 23, 25, and 28. On non-party evenings, the parade is currently scheduled twice, at 8:45 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Keep in mind that entertainment schedules are always subject to change, so I recommend checking the My Disney Experience app as your visit gets closer and again on the day you plan to watch. 

    While waiting for the parade, my family loves to stop by Main Street Confectionery for a sweet treat. One of our favorites is creating our own popcorn mix at the Kernel Kitchen. It is delicious, easy to share, and makes the wait for the parade feel even more magical! 

    Allison, I hope this helps to answer your question. Please come back and visit us again if you have any additional questions. 

    See you real soon!
