Get a sneak peek at the new ‘Coco’ parade float coming to Disney World!
Exciting changes are on the horizon for Magic Kingdom at Disney World, with new attractions and lands set to transform the beloved park. Villains Land is currently under construction, Cars Land is in the permit process, and the sad news of saying farewell to Tom Sawyer Island looms. However, the most recent addition to the lineup of upgrades is the introduction of a brand-new nighttime parade called Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, set to debut in the summer of 2025.
One of the highlights of this upcoming parade is the new float inspired by the beloved Pixar film “Coco.” The float features Miguel, Dante, and Pepita on the marigold bridge leading into the Land of the Dead. Revelers can expect to see Sugar Skull fireworks, hear mariachi music, and witness Pepita’s majestic wings spreading over the crowd. Other Disney characters like Elsa, Moana, Peter Pan, and Cinderella are also represented in the parade, as depicted on the vibrant poster designed to capture the magical essence of the parade.
The design of the floats draws inspiration from the rich history of nighttime parades at Disney parks and pays homage to Walt Disney Animation Studios’ earliest animated films. The princess unit, for instance, honors the original concept artwork by Disney Legend Mary Blair for “Cinderella.” Guests can anticipate a visually stunning spectacle that weaves together iconic Disney stories and characters.
In addition to the parade, visitors can look forward to the exciting developments at Villains Land and Frontierland. Villains Land promises to offer a sinister immersive experience with two new attractions, dining options, and shopping outlets. On the other hand, Frontierland will undergo a significant transformation with the addition of “Cars” themed attractions. However, these enhancements come at a cost, as Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Belle Riverboat will be permanently closed to make way for these new experiences.
With construction on these new developments set to commence in 2025, Disney fans have much to anticipate and bid farewell to. Stay tuned for more updates on these upcoming changes and immerse yourself in the magic of Disney as the park continues to evolve and delight visitors.
