The Parade Storage Building, located backstage behind Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, is a crucial hub for Magic Kingdom’s parades, providing storage for floats and a workspace for maintenance and repairs. With Disney Starlight expected to showcase cutting-edge technology and a cast of beloved characters, updates to this facility—such as expanded storage space and upgraded power systems—seem likely to accommodate the parade’s ambitious scope.
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away promises to carry forward the legacy of nighttime spectaculars like the iconic Main Street Electrical Parade, which last graced Magic Kingdom in 2016. This new parade will tell enchanting new stories with the help of the Blue Fairy, who will guide guests on a journey featuring characters from Peter Pan, Encanto, Frozen, and other Disney classics. Using state-of-the-art technology, vibrant floats, and mesmerizing lighting, Disney Starlight will capture the magic of Disney storytelling in a way that’s both nostalgic and groundbreaking.
