Big news for Walt Disney World fans! ✨ Beginning July 20, 2025, Magic Kingdom will light up the night with the debut of the Starlight Parade — a dazzling new nighttime experience that blends classic Disney magic with cutting-edge technology and unforgettable entertainment.

What Is the Starlight Parade?

The Starlight Parade is Magic Kingdom’s newest nighttime offering, featuring beloved Disney characters, glowing floats, shimmering costumes, and an all-new original musical score. Picture Main Street, U.S.A. bathed in light, as Mickey and friends lead a procession of illuminated dreams through the heart of the park.

This new parade celebrates the joy of wishing on stars, with appearances by:

🌠 Tinker Bell soaring on a glittering comet
🌠 Moana, navigating glowing waves
🌠 Elsa and Anna, surrounded by a flurry of magical snow

🌠 And of course, Mickey and Minnie, shining brighter than ever!

Tips for the Best Parade Experience

If you’re planning to experience the Starlight Parade, here are a few tips to make the most of your night:

1. Arrive Early – Guests will line up along the route early for the best view. Main Street and Frontierland are popular viewing spots!
2. Check the Times Guide – Parade times may vary slightly depending on the day. Always check the official Walt Disney World app for updates.
3. Consider a Dining Package – Disney often pairs parades with reserved viewing areas when you book a dining package. Ask me for the latest options!
4. Bring a Light-Up Toy – Kids will love feeling like part of the magic. Light-up Mickey wands, bubble wands, or glow ears add to the fun.

Everything You Need to Know About Walt Disney World Buses 

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation comes with lots of excitement — and a few questions, too! One of the most common I hear is: “How do the buses work?” 
Well, good news: Walt Disney World’s bus system is one of the easiest ways to get around the magic, and it’s completely free for all guests! 

Let’s break it down so you can ride like a pro. 

🚌 What Are the Walt Disney World Buses? 

Disney buses are complimentary transportation provided throughout the resort. They connect all Disney resort hotels, theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, these buses are your main way to get around. 

🗘️ Where Do the Buses Go? 

Here’s a general guide to where you can take a Disney bus: 

• From Disney Resort Hotels: 
  Buses run to all four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom), both water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon when open), and Disney Springs. 

• From Theme Parks: 
  Buses run back to resorts and to other parks after 1 PM, but not directly to Disney Springs. 

• From Disney Springs: 
  Buses run only to resort hotels, not to theme parks. 

⏱️ How Often Do Buses Run? 

Buses generally run about every 20 minutes, though times can vary. 
Each resort has an electronic sign at the bus stop showing estimated arrival times. Early morning buses start running around 6:30–7:00 AM, depending on park hours. 

💡 Tip: If you have an early breakfast reservation, ask the front desk about the “breakfast buses” that run before regular hours! 

📍 Where Do I Catch the Bus? 

Each Disney Resort Hotel has clearly marked bus stops. Some resorts, like Pop Century or Art of Animation, have one central stop, while larger ones like Caribbean Beach or Coronado Springs have multiple internal stops. 

At the parks and Disney Springs, there are bus loops with numbered stops. Signs will show which stop is for your resort. 

🧒 Strollers, Wheelchairs, and ECVs 

Disney buses are very accommodating! Strollers must be folded before boarding. 
Guests in wheelchairs or ECVs can board via a ramp, and the driver will secure them safely inside. 

💭 Final Thoughts 

The Walt Disney World buses make getting around the resort simple and stress-free. While you might wait a few minutes during busy times, they’re reliable, convenient, and part of the magic! 

And remember — if you ever feel overwhelmed by the details of planning, I’m here to help! From transportation to dining and the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass systems (formerly Genie+), I’ll make sure your trip is practically perfect.
