Description: Welcome to The Travel Genie Show! Join Brandi, Cory, Joel, and Sherida as they dive into Disney’s brand-new nighttime spectacular: Disney’s Starlight Parade. After nearly a decade without a nighttime parade at Walt Disney World, expectations were high—so does Starlight deliver the magic fans have been waiting for?

In this episode, the Travel Genies share their first-hand experiences, critiques, and favorite moments from the parade. From nods to classics like the Main Street Electrical Parade and SpectroMagic, to dazzling floats featuring Elsa, Moana, Peter Pan, and even Asha from Wish, we break down what shines and what falls flat. Hear our honest thoughts on the music, choreography, float design, and whether it’s worth lining up early for a spot.

In This Episode:

• Disney’s Return to Nighttime Parades: How Starlight compares to past favorites like Main Street Electrical and SpectroMagic.
• Standout Floats and Characters: From the Blue Fairy and Tinkerbell to Moana and Peter Pan, which floats impressed us most.
• Where the Parade Falls Short: Critiques on float count, missing street performers, and overall pacing.
• Tips for Watching: Should you camp out on Main Street, or find a hidden viewing spot in Frontierland?
• Who Will Love It Most: Why kids may still find the magic while longtime fans might feel underwhelmed.
