Hiya, Rosemary, and welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! Your question fills me with excitement because
Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is one of the most vibrant, joy-filled events I’ve ever experienced at the Disneyland Resort. I’ve been lucky enough to attend the past two years, and each time I’ve been amazed at the energy, colors, and celebratory spirit that fill the park—it truly feels like a one-of-a-kind evening.
As for 2026, official dates haven’t been announced just yet. If history is our guide, the
lineup of Disneyland After Dark events for 2025 was revealed in December of 2024. If the pattern continues, we may see Pride Nite dates announced around December this year—but of course, nothing is guaranteed until the news comes straight from Disney. My best tip is to keep a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and official
Disneyland Instagram account, since those two places are usually where announcements like these typically appear first.
This past June, I had the chance to experience Pride Nite during the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, and the two celebrations blended together beautifully. The anniversary décor sparkled alongside rainbow lights, and festive treats from both events shared the stage in the most delicious way. One of my favorite moments was joining the ‘Ohana Dance Party in Tomorrowland, where Stitch and friends kept the energy high and the dance floor packed—it was pure joy from start to finish. And since the 70th Celebration is expected to run through at least the summer of 2026, there’s a good chance we’ll see that perfect blend of events again next year!
In the meantime, Rosemary, I can tell you from experience that these events are absolutely worth the wait. Between exclusive entertainment, themed photo ops, delicious specialty treats, and a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere, Pride Nite brings a kind of magic you won’t find anywhere else.
Here’s to hoping you’ll be part of the celebration in 2026—it’s bound to be unforgettable!
Wishing you pixie-dusted planning!
