Disney has finally revealed the official names for the upcoming new Starlight Parade at the Magic Kingdom and the new Villains show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Last night, during the The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular, Disney unveiled the official names for these new shows.
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away.
This is the name for the parade coming to the Magic Kingdom meant to be the successor to the Main Street Electrical Parade.
The parade theme is wishes and dreams. The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio brings all the stories in a “Disney constellation” to life, so we are getting stardust, dreams, magic, and wonder.
Disney Starlight was first announced during the D23 presentation last August in Anaheim by Disney’s Chairman of Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro.
The Disney Parks Blog gave this description of the new parade saying,
“Disney Starlight” will continue the nighttime spectacular legacy started by the “Main Street Electrical Parade” using the latest technology to tell new stories about the characters you love. All of this is brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy, in addition to beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios films “Peter Pan,” “Encanto,” “Frozen,” and more.”
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is set to debut in the summer of 2025 at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.
I’m just thrilled to have a night-time parade return, and if it’s as good as the Main Street Electrical Parade or Paint the Night, it’s worth it!
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
A couple of months ago, Disney announced they were closing the Lightning McQueen Racing Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and replacing it with a new Villains-themed show.
Last night, the name Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After was revealed for the show.
The new show will be in the Sunset Showcase and will be led by the Magic Mirror from Snow White.
From the concept art we can see villains like Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jaffar, Ursula, Hades, Scar, Yzma, Gaston, and the Queen of Hearts.
This show will also debut sometime next year at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the Walt Disney World Resort.
