Walt Disney World is poised to launch 'Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away,' its first new nighttime parade in years, boasting floats that seem less about traditional Disney magic and more about placating modern political correctness. The concept art reveals a clear agenda to prioritize diversity and inclusion over the timeless entertainment values many families seek from Disney. While inclusion is important, this move by the Magic Kingdom might be seen as another step towards the politicization of entertainment, potentially alienating longtime fans who visit the park for escapism, not social commentary.
