A fan-favorite after-hours event is making its return to Disneyland Park this summer.
Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is back for two nights only, taking place on June 16 and June 18, 2026, celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community with an evening filled with entertainment, themed food, and a high-energy atmosphere throughout the park.
Tickets and Pre-Sale Details
Tickets for Pride Nite will go on sale to the general public no earlier than 9 a.m. PT on April 9, with pre-sale opportunities for Magic Key holders on April 7 and April 8.
Given the popularity of past After Dark events, these nights are expected to sell quickly.
A Night of Celebration at Disneyland
Pride Nite transforms Disneyland into a vibrant celebration after hours, with special décor, entertainment, and experiences designed exclusively for the event.
Highlights include:
- A fireworks show inspired by Walt Disney’s iconic welcome message
- The Welcome Pride Cavalcade featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and friends
- Live musical sing-alongs featuring classic Disney songs
- Multiple dance parties, including a country line dancing area
- Themed photo opportunities inspired by Disney characters and films
The overall vibe leans more toward celebration than spectacle, with music, color, and community at the center of the experience.
Exclusive Event Food and Drinks
Like many Disneyland After Dark events, Pride Nite also brings a lineup of limited-time specialty food and beverage offerings available only during the event.
Menu highlights include:
- Santa Maria-style tri-tip sandwich
- Butterscotch beignets
- Rainbow cereal churro with rainbow dipping sauce
- Jackfruit and mushroom loaded fries (plant-based)
These items tend to be just as much a part of the experience as the entertainment, especially with the more playful, colorful offerings.
A Growing Tradition
Pride Nite has quickly become one of the more meaningful After Dark events at Disneyland.
While it still includes all the elements guests expect like rides with shorter wait times and themed entertainment, it also creates space for a celebration that feels inclusive, joyful, and a little more personal than a typical park day.
It’s one of those nights where the park feels different. A little more expressive, a little more energetic, and very community-driven.
