With this dreamy new parade lighting up Main Street, U.S.A. twice each night—once at 9:00 p.m. and again at 11:00 p.m.—park hours are being extended to match the magic. From July 20 through at least August 2, Magic Kingdom will now close at 11:00 p.m., giving guests extra time to soak in the sparkle. After August 2, park hours are currently listed as returning to 10:00 p.m., but don’t be surprised if more late nights are added!

This marks the first time since 2016 that Magic Kingdom has had a year-round nighttime parade, and it’s a big one! “Disney Starlight” features a Mary Blair-style lead float starring the Blue Fairy, Peter Pan, Wendy, and Elsa, followed by glowing tributes to Moana, Encanto, Disney Princesses, Coco, and Wish. The grand finale brings in the big cheese himself—Mickey & Friends—riding in style on a sparkling float to close the show.
The parade travels backwards along the traditional parade route, starting on Main Street, U.S.A. and ending in Frontierland.
