The parade, which will be the first nighttime offering of this type at the Magic Kingdom since the East Coast version of the Main Street Electrical Parade concluded its final run in 2016, will use the latest in entertainment 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” according to Disney.
