Walt Disney World Announces New ‘Coco’ Float for Its ‘Starlight’ Nighttime Parade

Last summer, Walt Disney World announced a new nighttime parade. It’s called Disney Starlight, and it’s debuting in the summer of 2025. Although there’s no official launch date, today Disney has announced its newest float — and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Disney’s ‘Coco’ Is Coming to the Disney Starlight Parade

According to Disney, the Starlight Parade will continue the nighttime magic visitors have come to enjoy over the years.

“Disney Starlight will continue the nighttime spectacular legacy started by the ‘Main Street Electrical Parade‘ using the latest technology to tell new stories about the characters you love. All of this is brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy, in addition to beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios films ‘Peter Pan,’ ‘Encanto,‘ ‘Frozen,’ and more.”

For those who aren’t familiar, “Coco” follows a young boy, Miguel, who finds himself in the land of the dead trying to lift his family’s ban on music. It’s a stunningly colored film with incredible music. That tradition is continued with the new “Coco”-themed float in the Starlight parade.

Disney has released its first renderings of the float, and they do the film justice.

Along with the “Coco” announcement, Walt Disney World has also released the official Disney Starlight parade poster.

Eagle-eyed Disney fans will spot several famous Disney characters, including Elsa from “Frozen” and scenes from “Cinderella,” “Coco,” “Peter Pan,” and “Moana.”

And “Coco” isn’t the only float for which we have a sneak preview. The “Moana” float is looking pretty good.

So is the Blue Fairy’s, which sports both Peter Pan and Elsa.

These are in addition to the previously released rendering of Disney’s princess-themed float.
