Starlight Parade Schedule?

Does anyone know how the parade will work after summer? Do you think they will run it on weekends? Only over the summers? I am tossing around the idea of taking my DD in April/May but being able to see the parade could potentially affect when we want to try to go.

I was under the impression its the new nightly parade and will be nightly other than on party nights for the forseeable future...

It is believed that the parade will continue to run nightly on non-party nights. As of now it runs twice each night. Anything beside that would be purely a guess on someone’s part as Disney has not announced any changes.

It is too early to predict if it will run once or twice each night in April/May of next year but it will run.

Wow, I’ve been keeping an eye on hours for our early Oct. visit & last Thursday I took a screen shot of MK’s posted hours for 10/6 - 10/10 to send it to my son & the new Starlight parade was listed on non party nights.

I just checked those nights again & poof - it’s gone

@sndral There’s no way they won’t have the parade on nonparty nights. They spent a lot of money on imagineering, floats & CM training. Plus promoted the heck out of having a nighttime parade again. It’s really too far out for October hours to be correct online. They haven’t even finalized September hours yet.

My checking had become a bit of a habit - mostly to see which night/park would have extra evening hours for deluxe guests & to plot out our ADRs, so I was surprised when I spotted the 11 pm second Starlight parade on nights when MK was closing at 10 pm.
I agree that it might be too early for them to have nailed down their hours just yet, indeed I’ll be checking at 3-2 weeks out to see if park hours may be extended a bit as sometimes happen. But, in that case they should have omitted posting parade hours from the get go - like it is now. Posting parade hours last week at the exact time that folks were making ADRs was just sloppy IMO. They expect a great deal of planning from those of us who travel far & stay on-site for several days, the least they could do would be to not post misleading information.
