Disney Shortens ‘Starlight’ Parade Listings and Moves Times Earlier at Magic Kingdom
The update shifts both nightly performances ahead of park closing to improve end‑of‑evening flow.
Overview
- Beginning August 31, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away will run at 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., replacing the 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. pattern used since debut.
- Disney’s official site now lists performances only through early September, with showtimes after September 6 removed from the calendar.
- Magic Kingdom hours remain 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and the final parade will now end 30 minutes before closing instead of at closing time.
- Dates missing from the parade schedule align with Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party nights when the parade does not perform.
- Happily Ever After fireworks moves to 9:30 p.m. starting August 31, positioned between the two parade showings.
