    For the paint the night parade...will there be special ticketing options?

    Greetings, Nicole, and welcome to planDisney! Can you feel the excitement building for the return of the Paint the Night Parade? I can already hear the upbeat music and picture the colorful LED lights illuminating the streets of Disneyland.

    Here’s the best part, Nicole: No special tickets are needed to enjoy this incredible nighttime spectacular. As long as you have a valid Disneyland Resort theme park ticket and a reservation (for Disneyland unless you have a Park Hopper ticket), you’re all set! The Paint the Night Parade will return in May 2025 as part of the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, running through summer 2026. As your visit approaches, check the entertainment schedule on the Hours & Events Calendar to see the exact parade times. The calendar is updated on a rolling basis, looking ahead 60 days out, which means we should start to see schedules for May starting in March.

    Now, a little extra sprinkle of magic: Sometimes, the Disneyland Resort offers dining packages that combine delicious meals with premium viewing of a parade or nighttime spectacular. For example, during the holiday season, Plaza Inn offered a dining package that included lunch or dinner along with a voucher to access a designated parade viewing area. As of now, announcements have not been made regarding dining packages for Paint the Night. However, it's a possibility! Keep an eye on the Disneyland Parks Blog, the Disneyland website, or the planDisney Instagram page for updates.

    During the 70th Anniversary Celebration, there will be so much to do and see. In addition to the Paint the Night Parade, there will be special entertainment, colorful decorations, food and drinks, collectible merchandise, and an all-new World of Color experience. It’s truly going to be a magical time to visit!

    Nicole, I’m so excited about your trip! I haven’t seen Paint the Night since 2015, so I’m already planning my own visit to see it again. If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We at planDisney are always happy to help.

    Wishing you magic!
