Over at Walt Disney World, the “Disney Starlight” nighttime parade meanders through Magic Kingdom Park beginning summer 2025 — and fans of the “Main Street Electrical Parade” won’t want to miss it! The Blue Fairy will bring the magic of Disney characters from classic Walt Disney Animation Studios films to life, including “Peter Pan,” “Encanto,” “Frozen” and more.
