The coming nighttime parade at Disney's Magic Kingdom will feature an abundance of wonder and whimsy


On the latest episode of Disney's "We Call it Imagineering", the team shared several new insights to the coming 'Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away' Parade. One of the episode highlights was the exclusive first look at an all new original character for the parade.

Whimsy, the locomotive chugging away with the final train float, is an all new character bringing magic to the "Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away" Parade. Made from starlight, Whimsy is described as playful and childlike with his youthful spirt that dances through the parade route. Inspired by Walt Disney's Silly Symphony animated shorts, Whimsy helps bring some of the older animation feels to this new parade.
