Annual Passholder Reservations Vanish Following Disney Starlight Parade Debut at Magic Kingdom
It’s a starry, starry sold-out night over at Magic Kingdom! Annual Passholders hoping to catch the new nighttime spectacular, “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away,” might need a little extra pixie dust (or a Park Hopper strategy) because Park Pass reservations for the two days after the parade’s debut have filled up.

“Disney Starlight,” the first year-round nighttime parade to grace Magic Kingdom since the Main Street Electrical Parade flickered its final farewell in 2016, officially premieres on July 20. While that date has been fully booked for nearly a month, July 21 and 22 have now joined the “no-go” list for Annual Passholders hoping to snag a reservation.
But there’s still hope for those determined to bask in the glow of those dazzling floats. Reservations are still available for EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Passholders can enter those parks and then hop their way over to Magic Kingdom after 2 p.m.—just remember, capacity rules still apply and there’s no guarantee you’ll make it in.

And here’s where things get a little more glowingly complex: Starting July 20, new rules go into effect for Passholder park entry. While most days still allow Passholders to stroll into any park after 2 p.m. without a reservation, Magic Kingdom now requires a Park Pass every day of the week—unless you’re entering via Park Hopper. Yes, even weekday evenings are no longer a reservation-free ride at the Kingdom.
