“Disneyland After Dark”: Dates, Details, Themes & How To Get Tickets
Disney today revealed the dates and themes for its 2026 Disneyland After Dark events.
The lineup for the special events, which take place from January to June next year, includes one all-new theme and four that are returning. They are: Sweethearts’ Nite, Disney Channel Nite, Star Wars Nite, Pride Nite and — the new one — 70 Years of Favorites.
Much like Universal’s popular Halloween Horror Nights, Disneyland After Dark events are separately ticketed. They take place after the park’s regular hours end, and run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Ticket prices announced thusfar are $159, though the later events are TBD.
One detail that might help defray those costs is that admission to Disneyland After Dark also includes entry to Disneyland park from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Parking fees are not included in the ticket prices. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is not available during the events.
