Have I got some great news for you, Sarah! I think your first-time visit to the Walt Disney World Resort vacation is about to get a little extra magical!
The
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade at
Magic Kingdom Park is scheduled to be presented most nights during the last week of January. The only night the parade is not scheduled is Tuesday, January 27, as Magic Kingdom closes at 4:30 PM that day.
The Disney Starlight parade will take place each night at 7:45 PM. There will be an additional presentation at 10:00 PM on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday that same week.
Sarah, if you’re planning to attend one of the evenings with both 7:45 and 10:00 shows, I recommend the later showing. The later showing is slightly less crowded. I also recommend watching the parade from the area around the Main Street, U.S.A. main entrance to the park. I like to view from the area where the flagpole is located. That area then allows you to leave the park after viewing the parade without much congestion.
Have a great first visit, Sarah! Don't forget to grab your complimentary "first-time visit" buttons! These are available at the front desk of your resort hotel and at
Guest Relations at any of the theme parks!
Dreams do come true!
