Walt Disney World Finally Gets a Nighttime Parade This Summer

With summer vacations on the horizon, Disney Experiences are popping off at their bi-coastal theme parks, Disney Cruises, and international destinations. Walt Disney World is getting a nighttime parade featuring new Pixar and Disney Animation Studios favorites, while Mickey Mouse and the Fab Five get dapper outfits to shine along with Starlight. Spooky fun is already beginning with the Disney Villains getting their own show at WDW’s Hollywood Studios and Halloween party tickets going on sale. Over at Disneyland, the 70th anniversary party is in full swing with fun festive foods and more. At Disneyland Paris, the theme park dances the summer away with a new music festival. And Disney Cruises prepares to set sail with the fleet’s newest ship in this week’s theme park news. Walt Disney World – Starlight This summer brings an all-new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, which will debut July 20, 2025. The Magic Kingdom Park exclusive will bring back nighttime parades to the Walt Disney World resort and will feature classic and new Disney and Pixar fandom faves along the parade route on Main Street. The sparkling floats will light up the night and of course we’re excited to see the updates to Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Daisy’s costumes for the summer premiere.

Walt Disney World – Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After There has been a need for more indoor shows as Walt Disney World’s humid summer gets underway, so why not some chilling tales from the Disney Villains to beat the heat? We’re excited to check out Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After for a fun musical romp through villain showstoppers and more. Walt Disney World – Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Haunted Mansion’s Butler Broom extends the invitation for what’s sure to be a swinging wake. New this year will be a Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse spooky meet and greet at the Town Square Theater. For those of us with little tots, the Storybook Circus will get a “happy haunt” transformation to help the smallest of Disney fans ease into the spirit of the season—since it is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween after all. Along with popular returning faves, the event will run August 15 to October 31. Tickets here. Disney Imagineering tour of Epcot’s Moana: Journey of Water Delight in one of our favorite walkthrough attractions at Walt Disney World to keep summer visitors cool with Imagineering’s fun-fact filled behind the scenes look at Moana: Journey of Water.

Disneyland 70th Food This summer, aside from watching all the nighttime shows and scavenger hunting with the key to Disneyland, we’ll be eating our way through the parks. Our current fave dish is the 70th celebration Mickey Waffles at Schmoozies which are like confetti cake in flavor and have a creamy strawberry center that’s not to be missed. Disneyland France – Disney Music Festival © Disneyland Paris Disneyland Paris makes a debut as a music festival destination from now until September 7 with the Disney Music Festival.

The event will combine all genres of music with experiences inspired by Pixar and Disney Animation favorites, with hubs dedicated to various genres of music. That includes a mariachi band with Coco’s Miguel in Frontierland, jazz with Mary Poppins in Town Square, rock n’ roll with Elvis Stitch in Discoveryland, and more characters getting in on the fun. I want to know to know the story of DJ Chip and Dale, who just by the looks of their outfits look like they mean house music business. Disney Cruise – The Disney Destiny The comic book action and fairytale magic of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel heroes and villains will soon take over the Disney Destiny, the newest ship set to embark on ocean adventures in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. The Destiny will begin its trips later this year on November 20 with 4-5 night cruises taking off from the port of Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. We’re excited for the ship’s epic looking Hercules show and the gorgon battle teased in the image above.

Duffy and Friends Celebrate 20 years at Tokyo DisneySea The iconic international bear Duffy and his friends are turning 20. The celebration is hittingTokyo DisneySea for seaside fun this year with special food, entertainment and merch. I hope we get some stateside soon! We need LinaBell and other plushes for those of us collecting. Star Wars BDX Droids on a World Tour – Tokyo Disneyland International Disney fans can meet the Star Wars droids which will be featured in Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu until June 30 at Tokyo Disneyland.

Spider-Man themed land breaks ground at Shanghai Disney Resort The Marvel CinematicUniverse expands at Shanghai Disneyland with a new Spider-Man inspired land which will host new shows, dining, and attractions. Notably there will be a high-octane coaster that will swing you around on a heroic action encounter with Spidey. Land broke on May 18 for the area which will neighbor the recently opened Zootopia land. Makes sense, the Wonderful World of Disney insects living next to animals and all. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what’s next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who Solves the Mrs Flood Mystery: Post-Credits Scene Explained

Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who episode “The Interstellar Song Contest”
The first thing you need to know about post-credits villain reveal at the end of “The Interstellar Song Contest” is that it’s hilarious. When Mrs Flood stepped out of that cryogenic chamber and was revealed to be the Rani, you had one of two reactions. Either “Who?” or a groan that shook the light fittings.
Let’s go back a bit.

It’s Never the Rani
Season six, Matt Smith’s second season as the Eleventh Doctor. From “The Impossible Astronaut” onwards, Amy keeps seeing a mysterious woman with an eyepatch and big shoulder pads. “Is that the Rani?” fans whispered to each other, referencing Kate O’Mara’s renegade Time Lady character from Classic Who.

It wasn’t, it was someone called “Madame Kovarian”.
A few years later, the Doctor and Clara are manoeuvred into meeting each other by a mysterious “woman in a shop”, and soon the Twelfth Doctor and Clara’s adventures are trailed by a campy yet domineering woman manipulating them across time. “Could Moffat by bringing the Rani back for real?” fan asked one another. “She really does seem like his type…”
But no, it was the Master, regenerated into an evil Mary Poppins.
Flash forward again, the Thirteenth Doctor runs into some Judoon chasing an alien fugitive on Earth. A Time Lady who has used a chameleon arch to wipe her memory and appear human. She wears red. She has a chain with the initial “R” on it, could it be… could it really be…?
It turns out to be an as-yet-unseen previous incarnation of the Doctor.
Flash forward again, everywhere the Fifteenth Doctor goes, the same face keeps turning up, the same old lady, over and over again, following them through time…

This time it’s Sutekh.

I mean, the truth is, nobody ever really expects it to be the Rani, and her chances of coming back diminished still further with the introduction of Michelle Gomez’s Missy, allow the Master to pull double duty for male and female evil Time Lords.
The Rani is a third tier villain at best, a camp joke with only two TV stories to her name, neither of them turning up in anyone’s all-time favourites list. Those stories are “The Mark of the Rani”, a two-parter historical where she teams up with the Master, and “Time and the Rani”, Sylvester McCoy’s introductory story.
And yet, if you watch those stories, you will see that, she is potentially the most dangerous Evil Time Lord the Doctor’s faced yet.
More Than a “Female Master”
The big difference becomes obvious when you watch “The Mark of the Rani” and see her working alongside the Master.
Because let’s be honest, the Master’s never really wanted to conquer the universe. Like Missy says to Clara in “The Magician’s Apprentice”, for the Doctor and the Master, trying to kill each other is just their version of texting. Creating grand, over-elaborate schemes for universal domination is simply the Master’s love language. When the Master’s arch nemesis is found by the Time Lords, stripped of his ability to travel and marooned on a primitive little planet well out of the way of galactic civilisation, does the Master use this as an opportunity to finally take over the rest of the Galaxy without interference? No, he rushes straight to planet Earth and starts tugging on the Doctor’s pigtails.

In “The Mark of the Rani”, his and the Rani’s priorities are clear. While the Master spends the whole time obsessing over the most fitting way to kill the Doctor, the Rani rolls her eyes and gets on with the actual work of trying to conquer the universe.
When she runs into the Doctor again in “Time and the Rani”, she quickly captures and takes advantage of a discombobulated post-regeneration Doctor so she can use his genius to finish her plan. But while the Master would get an absolute kick out of having the Doctor as his puppet, the Rani spends her time irritated and impatient with the whole thing.
So, if she’s been following the Doctor around time and space for a while, we can trust that this is about more than vengeance. The Master might go through Time and Space, building a virtual afterlife to create a Cyberman army to give the Doctor as a present while screaming “Notice me!”, but that is not the Rani’s style. With the titles of the final two-parter, “Wish World” and “The Reality War”, we can safely guess that the destruction of planet Earth is merely a byproduct on the way to conquering reality itself.
But there is an added twist in the tale…
A Rani and The Rani
Our first real clue to the identity of the Rani is when she starts regenerating. But this is not just any regeneration. Whatever happened to make the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctor’s “bi-regenerate” in “The Giggle”, it seems to have had wider repercussions, because as the Rani regenerates she splits into two.
Now what’s interesting here is that normally in any multi-incarnation Time Lord encounter, there is an established dynamic. Namely, bickering. Put Missy and the Master, or any two given Doctors in a room and they will be immediately start sniping at each other in an attempt to assert dominance. That and maybe flirting a bit.

But when the Rani bi-regenerates, it’s different. The Time Lady formerly known as Mrs Flood is identified as “a” Rani, and is happily subservient to the newly created “definite article”, played by The Good Wife‘s Archie Panjabi. Why is that? Is this bi-regeneration process different somehow? Or is the Rani simply so organised that she already has an agreed inter-incarnation hierarchy agreed with herself? We’ll have to wait until “Wish World” and “The Reality War” to find out…

#333;">Our 15 Favorite Cottage Gardens
A few summers ago, when the culture was moving through micro trends as fast as they could be Instagrammed, Cottage Core was born.
The trend, which came out of a Covid-influenced romanticism for living close to nature (but not ruffing it, à la gorpcore, fashion’s cousin trend), inspired an infusion of chintz and whicker-filled interiors, and, of course, lush English-style gardens.Flash forward to 2025.
All those cottage gardens planted in early 2020—rustic, sophisticated, chic—are at their peak.
And there really is something to an outdoor space that merges with the indoors, is there not? On a warm summer evening, when the bougainvillea is in bloom, and the grass is a bit damp, what could be more appealing than a home built to nestle into a fantastical garden.Here, we’ve collected some of our favorite cottage gardens.
They range from fairy house gardens to campground landscape, historical (Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage that has inspired Shakespeare devotees the world over) to contemporary compound gardens in the woods.While we may have a specific notion of a cottage garden, but they are—and should be—as unique as the people who tend them.
One lesson for planting your own? A small space is an asset rather than a limitation.Below, you’ll find 15 of our favorite cottage gardens from Marin County California to Stratford-Upon-Avon, England.William Jess LairdThis Amagansett cottage was literally designed for “summertime snoozes.” It’s also a good reminder that a delicate slate garden pathway can take you far.
Designer Melissa Lee noted how “unexpected” the whole place felt, surrounded by the many mansions of the Hamptons.
As she rightfully notes, the charm is in the surprise.
A suggestion of mystery always adds to a cottage! Think The Secret Garden or the unexpectedly expansive Weasley Family home.Noe DewittVines climb up this 1920s English Art and Crafts style cottage in the Hamptons.
The elegant and eclectic cottage was re-designed by Nick Olsen to emphasize outdoor living with comfy couches, a tiled patio and a pool.William James LairdThis pink cottage kitchen looks out over a garden in Litchfield County, Connecticut.
Designer Clive Lonstein’s work is vibrant and unexpected, particularly for a modest Connecticut cottage built in the late 1800s.
In a way though, the bright colors all throughout the house are a reflection of the original design for the house.
The architect, Ehrick Rossiter was known for his own whimsy, and even included a turret in this design.
This cottage is a great reminder to leave the door open all summer long.Stephen Kent JohnsonThis former fishing shack in Provincetown proves that a sprawling garden can fit into a small space.
From Windex yellow fox gloves to arching lavender, this is a bucolic slice of heaven.
A classic shingled home, complete with flower boxes and a white picket fence, it has a deeply cottage-core sequence backstory.
It was used as an artist studio for William Maynard until his death in 2016, and when it was sold, prospective buyers were asked to write why they wanted to live there.Rachael SmithWe love an indoor / outdoor cottage garden.
Ideally, you have a branch that grows through a window, like this one in Suzie de Rohan Willner’s English Country Garden.
It is a charming marriage of dynamics: English and French, contemporary and historical, and, of course just as eclectic as a cottage should be.
Willner notes, “The whole house is a collection of things from each period of my and my husband’s lives.
I love to pick up bibs and bobs and it all comes together very happily.”Chronicle / Alamy Stock PhotoKate Middleton’s Adelaide Cottage conjures images of an Arthurian fantasy.
The Wales family made this their Windsor home since 2023.
Built in 1831 for Queen Adelaide (the German-born wife of William IV, who was the Uncle of Queen Victoria).
It went through a transformative renovation in 2015 which left the historical decorations in tact.
Fun fact: the Wales family pay market rent for their use of the home.Photo 12//Getty ImagesThe poet, actor, and playwright Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage and accompanying garden must have inspired her husband’s plays (that would be Shakespeare).
This might be what comes to mind when you think of a cottage garden.
Now open to the public daily, it was originally built more than 500 years ago, and is the site of Hathaway’s own birth in 1556.CostcoThis Costco (yes, Costco!) shed turned cottage is an ideal backdrop for your cottage garden fantasy.
If you’re feeling very DIY this year, start here.
Priced at $6,499, it measures 12’ x 24’ feet, a perfect amount of space for your own summer hide away or gardening shed.Richard PowersThis glass house is a reminder that a cottage garden doesn’t have to follow a prescribed style.
The Amagansett cottage, originally built in 1960, is a marvel of mid-century design, an aesthetic reflected in the mod-furniture choices.
Again, we love a stylistic mix in an updated cottage.
Japanese Maple Trees complete the woodsy vibe.© David Hockney, Photo By Jonathan WilkinsonDavid Hockney illustrated his own cottage garden during the Pandemic.
His drawing is illustrative of the benefits of an English garden: a bit wild, extremely lush, and more green than anything else.
If we could, we’d jump right into this scene like Mary Poppins on a rainy day.John M.
Hall for ELLE DecorHere’s a rule of thumb: trust Ina Garten.
This cottage-like structure, on the grounds of the East Hampton home Garten shares with her husband Jeffrey, is perennially perfect.
Note, too, the green and purple color scheme here.
This is perhaps the dream cottage garden and something of a childhood playhouse.
It has just enough space for a cozy chat and is a reminder that you can build your own little cottage on a very small plot of land.Photo 12//Getty ImagesMarie Antoinette’s Hamlet on the grounds of Versailles still sets the standard for the cottage garden with a thatched roof, hedges, and roses straight out of a fairy tale.
During the former French Queen’s reign, her hamlet was used as a faux farm house, where she and her young daughter, Princess Marie Thérèse, would dress as idealized versions of French peasant farmers and milk cows.
The interior, though, of this modest cottage, is appropriately grand with silk furnishings and canopy beds.Douglas FriedmanA garden that proves succulents and cottages are a match made in heaven.
This one, in Marin County, California, adds a bit of desert flair.
On the other side of this cottage is a water way and a perfect little dock for launching paddle boards.
We love how the greens liven up this side of the house and create a completely different, almost modern desert-like, aesthetic.
As with any great cottage garden, there is a distinctly transportive factor.Michael CliffordA light wood sauna and cold plunge on the grounds of Jenni Kayne’s Hudson Valley farmhouse are hidden behind shrubbery for a sense of privacy against a wide open landscape.
We love the idea of adding a spa-like ambiance to a cottage garden as well as finding inventive ways to use the space.
This is exactly where we want to be in the summer!Getty ImagesThis is sort of cheating, but Bunny Williams is a necessary inclusion! Williams’s Oak Spring Garden in Upperville, Virginia continues to inspire garden and cottage enthusiasts the world over.
Rather than one cottage, the grounds of Williams’s large estate feature a guest cottage and a basket house, both of which are charming in the extreme.Dorothy ScarboroughDorothy Scarborough (she/her) is the assistant to the Editor in Chief of Town & Country and Elle Decor.

Our 15 Favorite Cottage Gardens
A few summers ago, when the culture was moving through micro trends as fast as they could be Instagrammed, Cottage Core was born. The trend, which came out of a Covid-influenced romanticism for living close to nature (but not ruffing it, à la gorpcore, fashion’s cousin trend), inspired an infusion of chintz and whicker-filled interiors, and, of course, lush English-style gardens.Flash forward to 2025. All those cottage gardens planted in early 2020—rustic, sophisticated, chic—are at their peak. And there really is something to an outdoor space that merges with the indoors, is there not? On a warm summer evening, when the bougainvillea is in bloom, and the grass is a bit damp, what could be more appealing than a home built to nestle into a fantastical garden.Here, we’ve collected some of our favorite cottage gardens. They range from fairy house gardens to campground landscape, historical (Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage that has inspired Shakespeare devotees the world over) to contemporary compound gardens in the woods.While we may have a specific notion of a cottage garden, but they are—and should be—as unique as the people who tend them.
