If you’re already making plans in anticipation of Disney World’s brand-new NIGHTTIME parade, there’s something BIG coming soon, and you need to see it.

Disney Starlight Popcorn Mix

Disney’s just dropped some HUGE news about its new nighttime parade coming this summer, Disney Starlight. The parade will feature new floats and Disney character outfits, all set to an incredible original score. But while you watch the show, you might as well enjoy a little treat, right? Well, you’re in luck! 

Let’s back up for a second. In case you missed it, Disney World just revealed new information about its upcoming nighttime parade. Disney Starlight will debut in Magic Kingdom beginning July 20th, and we’re SO excited to see it finally come to life! Peep the new costumes — they are GLOWING!

Goofy, Mickey, and Minnie are READY to light up the night in Disney Starlight!

Not only did Disney reveal the opening date of the parade, but they also shared several other additions that will debut alongside the parade. An entire merchandise collection will also be coming soon, as well as a new snack! We got the chance to see the new Starlight Popcorn Mix up close (and got to taste it for good measure)!

Starlight Popcorn

Just like the popcorn mixes we’ve picked up at Magic Kingdom before, you’ll find this one at Main Street Confectionery. This dreamy new popcorn mix is made of Bubble Gum and Blue Raspberry Candy, Popcorn, M&M’S Milk Chocolate Candies, Mini-Marshmallows, and White Chocolatey Drizzle, all served up in a classic popcorn bowl. First of all, those ingredients? Wow! There’s a lot going on there. Second of all, WOW — this popcorn mix is PRETTY!

We got to try a bit of this mix, and wow (yep, our third “wow”), this is SO sweet! The blue raspberry popcorn is a bit chewy and gets stuck in your teeth easily. We were actually impressed by the bubble gum popcorn, even though that was the flavor we were more skeptical about. It’s very festive and, like all the other Confectionery popcorn treats, this one would last you a while, even when sharing. If you’re wondering how soon you can get your hands on this new star-kissed popcorn mix, you won’t have to wait too long! This new mix will be available beginning the first night of the new parade.
