    Will the Starlight Parade be offered in January 2026?

    Hi Carole and welcome back to planDisney - it's so lovely to see you here, again.

    Let me start off by saying that Disney Starlight - Dream The Night Away was the thing that I loved the most when I visited with my family, back in August and again, when I visited with some of my planDisney pals, in October. I simply cannot put into words just how amazing it is to watch - pure Disney magic!

    Top Tip - Frontierland is my favourite place to watch the parade from. I find that it is a little quieter than other parts of the parade route and there are even a a few places where you can sit/which are under cover.

    Carole, I have just checked the show times on the Walt Disney World website from the date of your arrival and am very happy to share that Disney Starlight - Dream The Night Away is currently scheduled to take place at 7:45pm on the 12th - 15th January 2026 and at both 7:45pm and 10:00pm on the 16th and 17th January 2026. 

    I personally, always find that there are less crowds when watching the later performance so, if you are planning to be at Magic Kingdom until late evening/park close, this might be a good idea.

    Currently, no times are available to view from the 18th January 2026 onwards but, if you will still be at Walt Disney World on, or after the 18th, I would highly recommend that you keep checking, periodically, from now until your arrival, to see if further show times have been released. 

    Carole, I hope that you have the most amazing time. Please feel free to re-visit us, here at planDisney, if we can be of any other help with the planning of your trip. 

    Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
