🎪 Big Fun Under the Big Top at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is the heart of the action with two brand-new summer parties designed to keep your whole crew moving and grooving.

• Big Top Bash at Storybook Circus – It’s part dance party, part circus spectacle! Join Pluto and a DJ Ringmaster for some silly summertime shenanigans, complete with stilt walkers and jugglers bringing the circus energy to life.
• Galactic Blast at Tomorrowland – Over at Rocket Tower Plaza Stage, Stitch is ready to boogie down at a high-energy DJ-fueled bash. And don’t miss a hands-on craft inside Merchant of Venus, inspired by Disney-Pixar’s upcoming film Elio.

Later this summer, keep your eyes on the skies for the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade, lighting up Magic Kingdom nights with floats and characters from Encanto, Frozen, Coco, Wish, Moana, and more!
