With the debut of Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away just a few months away, Disney has revealed new details, including the official parade poster and a first look at the Coco float concept art.

Official Disney Starlight Poster

Disney shared a first look at the official poster for Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away. This design will be displayed among the iconic artwork below the Main Street, U.S.A. train station. The poster combines familiar Disney nostalgia with new stories, visually capturing the parade's creative vision.

Disney also released concept art for a new Coco float that will join the Disney Starlight parade at Magic Kingdom. Inspired by the Pixar film, the float will feature Miguel performing at the base of a vibrant marigold bridge to the Land of the Dead. Above him, a larger-than-life Pepita will soar with its wings spread wide. Sugar skull fireworks and vibrant colors will enhance the float’s energetic, Mariachi-inspired theme.

Other Parade Highlights

While the poster reveals several key floats, Disney also confirmed additional details about other parade units:

Blue Fairy Float: The parade's opening float will feature the Blue Fairy, guiding guests to wish upon a star as the parade begins.
Encanto Float: Isabela will swing on floral vines in a lively tribute to Encanto, joined by her fellow Madrigal family members.
Moana Float: Moana will travel on glowing waves, accompanied by Pua, HeiHei, and a manta ray representing Gramma Tala.
Princess Float: Inspired by Disney Legend Mary Blair, this float will feature beloved princes and princesses like Aurora and Prince Phillip, Tiana and Prince Naveen, and Belle and the Beast. Royal court dancers will bookend this princess unit as a nod to the Main Street Electrical Parade.

They haven't added anything yet.

I still think there should be lamplighters singing “trip a little light fantastic” but what do I know?

I was thinking the same thing. I know Tangled is used in everything but “At Last I see The Light” seems perfect for this parade. I could definitely see a combo float similar to Spectros finale. For Aladdin though I wish we could get the Genie float from Dreamlights or have another float with similar lighting. I feel like it gives Mack Paint The Night vibes but in an elaborate way. Hopefully Starlight has a fun wild float like that.

I'd guess Ariel or Jasmine.

I'd be pretty surprised if we don't have a Tangled unit. A very prominent scene is designed well for a light parade. If they got real creative we could have an At last I see the light, A whole new world and Kiss the Girl combo unit.

Have you seen anything added yet to the bracket?

Keeping my fingers crossed there will be smaller floats to accompany the larger floats like MSEP and Spectro had.

Cram more people into the hub for a single parade effect instead of spreading them out along the parade route?

Tiana is already on the princess float with Cinderella, Belle and Princess Aurora.

I'm really hoping its a hint that castle projections could be incorporated into the show, even if its just a starry night sky simple vibe. Could also be cool for the castle to sparkle a bit once the blue fairy gets right in front of it. I just wonder if the lighting around the hub will be too bright to see the projections nicely enough, or if the floats are too tall to block the projection path.

Has anyone else noticed Cinderella castle appears to be outline in lights in the Coco concept art? 🤔

My guess is Tiana to maybe encourage people and give 'em a little push to see a certain attraction that they still need to see return on investment on..... also could be a good chance to feature Tiana in her iconic ball gown look that many complain isnt in the ride. Also allows Tiana to still be in a parade at MK if FoF is reworked or replaced in the near future (it cant last forever)

I do think a “Magic Kingdom” parade float would be a cool idea with icons such as Cinderella Castle, Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Space Mountain. They probably won’t do it but I think it’s a cool idea. A small train could also go around the edges of the float.
