The Disney Starlight Parade opens with the Blue Fairy herself, lighting the way with her magic wand, to a world of dreams and magic.

Honoring family, the Encanto float brings Isabela, Bruno and Mirabel to life. Complete with a glowing candle, Mirabel’s butterflies, and Isabela’s flower swing, this float is colorful, and fun.

Moana

Sailing high above the waves, this bioluminescent Moana float features Moana, Pua, and Hei Hei, among swirling glittered waves. You can also see Gramma Tala as the glowing manta ray always at Moana’s side.

Coco

Featuring a mariachi music segment, this Disney Starlight Parade float features characters and scenes from Coco. Miguel, Dante, and Pepita set high atop a marigold bridge, leading them to the Land of the Dead.

Wish

Featuring the latest Disney Animated feature, this float includes Valentino, the Wishing Star and Asha herself! Decorated in lights on a beautiful tree shaped float, with mushrooms, this one reminds us of the Alice in Wonderland mushroom float from the Main Street Electrical Parade.

Disney Princesses

In an homage to the classic Main Street Electrical Parade, the Royal Court Dancers have a float of their very own. Featuring Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip, Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming and Beauty and the Beast, this float features swirled, “dancing on a cloud” elements.

Grand Finale Float

Goofy, Pluto, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck lead a whole float filled with Disney moments. Included are Snow White and Dopey in a twinkling minecar, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider and Aladdin and Jasmine taking a magic carpet ride. And of course, Mickey and Minnie themselves are in a carriage all their own, closing out the parade.

Disney Starlight Parade Lyrics

Filled with familiar sounds, and themes, the Disney Starlight Parade lyrics include a mashup of melodies. Choreographed by Cindy Wilson, this parade offers a variety of dance styles, across dancers on the ground in the parade. In the tradition of the Main Street Electrical Parade, there are only a few spoken words by the characters throughout the parade, set against the backdrop of the instrumental score.

Spoken by the Blue Fairy:

Good evening dear friends, come with me on a magical journey kissed by starlight. By virtue of starlight and all that is good may each and every one of your dreams come true. Do as dreamers do and wish upon a star. Welcome on this journey in the stars, where anything is possible and your most cherished dreams come true.
