Hey Liam,
Thanks for bringing another question to planDisney! I am also excited about everything
coming to Walt Disney World in 2025, and the new nighttime parade is at the top of my must-see list!
At this time, the official debut of
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away has not been announced. Unfortunately, that also means we don’t have any information about the nighttime entertainment schedule at Magic Kingdom. You can check the
Hours & Events Calendar on the Walt Disney World website for current parade and fireworks schedules, but this is subject to change. In the past, Main Street Electrical Parade was before the fireworks show. I have fond memories from my honeymoon of watching
Main Street Electrical Parade before the showing of
Wishes during a fireworks dessert party.
Disney Parks Blog will share any official announcements about the opening date of this new nighttime parade. They have already shared
previews of some of the floats we’ll see during the parade. As I mentioned earlier, in the past I was able to watch the nighttime parade and fireworks from Tomorrowland Terrace during a dessert party. If Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is available during your vacation, maybe you can consider one of the Magic Kingdom Dessert Parties. Once we find out the official time of the parade and fireworks, see if one of the Dessert Parties works with your schedule. Right now, the
Pre-Party begins in Tomorrowland Terrace 90 minutes before fireworks for treats and beverages before heading to Plaza Garden for a reserved viewing of
Happily Ever After. The
Post-Party asks you to check in 60 minutes before the fireworks so you can view Happily Ever After before returning to Tomorrowland Terrace for snacks and drinks. There is also the
Seats & Sweets option which remains in Tomorrowland Terrace for the party and fireworks show. These offerings are subject to change, so keep checking back before your
reservation window opens 60 days in advance.
I hope you get to enjoy the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away Parade, Liam! I’m sure you’ll have a magical vacation no matter what. If you have more questions as you continue planning your vacation, I’d love to help you here at
planDisney!
