Pride Nite is back! Disney has unveiled the 2026 lineup for its Disneyland After Dark events, a series of separately ticketed after-hours celebrations running from January through June. These events offer a chance to experience the park after regular closing, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., featuring themed entertainment, unique character encounters, and specialty food and drinks.
The 2026 schedule introduces one new theme alongside four returning favourites. The new event, 70 Years of Favorites, celebrates seven decades of Disneyland magic with nostalgic entertainment and appearances by iconic classic characters. Scheduled for March 3 and 5, this event promises fans a trip down memory lane with rare experiences and themed culinary offerings inspired by Disneyland's history. Tickets go on sale to Magic Key holders on December 9 and 10, 2025, before general public availability begins on December 11.
Returning events include Sweethearts’ Nite, a celebration of love featuring rare characters, exclusive entertainment, and shorter attraction lines over multiple nights from late January into February. Other fan-favourite themes making a comeback are Disney Channel Nite, which pays tribute to the beloved TV channel with themed entertainment and music; Star Wars Nite, offering immersive experiences with characters and photo opportunities from the galaxy far, far away; and - most importantly - Pride Nite, a celebration of the community featuring rainbow-themed décor, entertainment, and festivities. Dates for these latter three events span from April to June, with ticket sales and pricing details expected to be announced in early 2026. Source: Noah Wire Services
