Tokyo Disney Retiring Rain-Only Parade Nightfall Glow on March 31, 2026

The compact show has functioned as the rain-only substitute for Electrical Parade Dreamlights.

Overview

  • Tokyo Disney Resort set the retirement for after March 31, 2026, with the actual final performance dependent on whether it rains beforehand or that evening.
  • No successor has been announced, leaving the park’s future approach to rainy-night entertainment unspecified.
  • Nightfall Glow debuted in May 2011 during a Dreamlights refurbishment, then became the wet-weather backup and later ran nightly from September 2020 through October 2021 during the post‑reopening period.
  • The parade features four waterproof, color‑changing LED floats with characters including the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty, Mickey and Friends, and Disney Princesses.
  • Tokyo Disneyland’s rainy-night backup tradition is unusual among Disney parks, and the retirement is being announced during a broader period of change that includes the Fantasy Springs expansion.
