Following a few operational adjustments, including removing restrictions for Annual Passholders and lifting Magic Kingdom blockouts for Cast Members, Walt Disney World has updated showtimes for the Disney Starlight nighttime parade as well. Earlier today, we wrote an article pointing out that Magic Kingdom’s new nighttime parade did not have showtimes past this Saturday, August 2nd. Now, Walt Disney World has posted showtimes through August 30th – and it’s good news!
Disney Starlight Parade to Continue Twice-Nightly Performances
According to an update to the Walt Disney World website, Disney will continue to present the new Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade twice per night, through August 30th. There are no showtimes posted past the 30th, but hopefully Disney gets in the habit of regularly updating the schedule in advance so guests can plan their Magic Kingdom nights confidently. Here’s the latest.
Disney Starlight Parade Schedule August 2025 and beyond
- Now – Aug. 14th: 9pm and 11pm
- Aug. 15th – Oct. 31st: no performances during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, 9pm and 11pm during non-party nights
- Nov. 7 – Dec. 21: no performances during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
While showtimes are only listed through August 30th right now, we expect that Walt Disney World will continue the 9pm and 11pm showings through the Halloween and Holiday season. It’ll be interesting to see what Disney does during Christmas week, and then the 2026 performance schedule could be a bit of a wild card.
If you’re planning on watching the Disney Starlight parade over the next few months, our advice is to enjoy lower wait times on rides during the 9pm parade and 10pm fireworks show. Following Happily Ever After at 10pm, a mass of guests will exit Magic Kingdom, making an 11pm viewing of Disney Starlight a much easier endeavor.
