Disney World, Disneyland to get new theme park lands and attractions
Disney announced new lands and attractions for its global theme parks at its 2024 D23 fan event, including "Monsters, Inc." and villains-themed areas.
For the first time in nearly a decade, Walt Disney World will have a nighttime parade for everyday guests.
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away will debut at Magic Kingdom on July 20, the Florida resort shared Tuesday. The parade was first announced at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event last summer, but the start date had been under wraps.
Inspired by its long-running predecessor, the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade, Disney Starlight will center on the power of a wish and feature a mix of characters from classic and contemporary Disney Animation and Pixar films.
'What guests are going to be able to get in this parade is a nod to the past but also eyes firmly set on the future,' Tara Anderson, show director with Disney Live Entertainment, said in a teaser video shared by Disney Parks. 'So you're going to hear melodies from older films, newer films in a very magical, mystical way.'
The Blue Fairy, whom guests may remember from 'Pinocchio,' will power the illuminated parade with her magic. Other characters will include Elsa, Moana, Asha from 'Wish,' members of the Madrigal family from 'Encanto,' Miguel and Pepita from 'Coco,' Peter Pan and Wendy, various Disney princesses with their princes, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse , and more.
A train, inspired by the Main Street Electrical Parade, will be among the many floats.
This is Disney World's first regular nighttime parade since 2016. Other nighttime parades, like Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade and Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, are exclusive to specially ticketed after-hours events and not included with standard park admission like Disney Starlight will be.

CALF adjusts plans amid Cypress Street construction
ABILENE, Texas () – Due to the ongoing revitalization project on Cypress Street, the Children's Art & Literacy Festival is adjusting its usual procedures to accommodate the construction. Every year, the Children's Art and Literacy Festival (CALF), as it is often referred to, strives to bring interactive and educational experiences to children all over the Big Country. However, this year's festival will experience some differences in its everyday operations with the reconstruction of Cypress Street. Ordinarily, the CALF sees Cypress Street in downtown Abilene transformed with features including live entertainment, street vendors, and families navigating from venue to venue. Normal operations for the festival include shutting down Cypress Street for regular foot traffic, but the progress with construction currently has the roadway along Cypress completely tore up. For safety, a temporary fence blocks public access to the street area, and festival goers will now have to utilize the sidewalk for certain sections of Cypress Street strictly. One of the main organizers for the CALF is the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council, and Executive Director Lynn Barnett spoke about how, despite the construction, they've worked to ensure patrons have an easy experience. 'The city has been great about working with us and making sure that, you know, people are still able to navigate the festival. We still have transportation running, and we are still close to the same, you know, North First along here. So really, I don't think festival-goers will notice any real change,' Barnett said. Although the changes should only cause minor inconveniences, Lynn Barnett of the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council advises anyone attending the CALF to ensure a smooth experience. 'Plan your agenda, plan your visits to the various readings, to the marionettes, to the singing zoologist. We're really excited about this year's Calf Festival and look forward to seeing people downtown,' said Barnett. The Children's Art and Literacy Festival will begin on Thursday, June 12, and will run until Saturday, June 14. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
