With one all-new theme and four returning themes, the 2026 Disneyland After Dark events will create magical evenings of love, memories, nostalgia, adventure and community for guests of all ages!
Disneyland After Dark events are separately ticketed, themed evenings that feature access to Disneyland park and select attractions after-hours (often with shorter wait times), imaginative entertainment, character encounters, scrumptious food and beverages, special merchandise collections and so much more!
The parties take place on select nights January through June 2026.
Whether guests are experienced fans or first-time attendees, there’s a Disneyland After Dark event for them in 2026. Read on for everything they need to know about these soirees, and bookmark this link for future updates.
Each Disneyland After Dark event takes place at Disneyland park, beginning at 9 p.m. and continuing until 1 a.m. That is 4 hours to play the night away, after the park closes!
Pre-party park mix-in: Admission to Disneyland After Dark also includes entry to Disneyland park from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. — giving guests a three-hour prelude before the party begins! During this time, guests should be sure to check out offerings available during regular park hours.
Photos from the party: Guests can enjoy unlimited digital downloads of Disney PhotoPass* photos captured during the party. That means there’s literally no limit to the memories they can make! They simply scan the QR code on their event wristband via the Disneyland app** to access their photo gallery.
Commemorative event guide: In addition to the uniquely themed fun, their admission ticket also includes a commemorative keepsake and event guide map. The map is handy to reference during the party and so beautifully designed, they'll want to keep it as a collectible souvenir to remember their visit.

Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite is a joyful celebration for guests and their valentine, whether spouse, family member or bestie.
New for 2026, the “Celebrate Love Cavalcade” will glide down Main Street, U.S.A., in a grand celebration honoring loved ones: best friends, soulmates and family alike. Guests can look for Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their pals to fill the air with love during this enchanting procession.
Also new for 2026, the romantic “Once Upon a Dream - A Musical Journey Through the Disney Songbook” show is a musical look at love and romance, featuring live singers and a variety of Disney royalty and culminates in a nighttime ball beneath the stars.
Partner up for the new Disney Duets festive karaoke in the beloved Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland with a uniquely Disney twist.
Guests can swing, sway and twirl to their heart’s content with Donald Duck and Daisy Duck at the Valentine’s Dance Party at Tomorrowland Terrace.
Scenic photo backdrops throughout the park invite guests to “step into the scenes” of fan-favorite films such as Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Aristocats,” “Tangled,” “Aladdin,” “Lady and the Tramp,” and more.
As the saying goes, the way to the heart is through the stomach! Guests will fall in love with specially curated sweets and savory treats.
New for 2026 at Galactic Grill is a triple berry slushy with a Mickey-shaped glow cube. Returning favorites include surf n’ turf loaded fries at Red Rose Taverne and Mickey-shaped strawberry cream puff at Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante.
More specialty menu items will be available at table-service restaurants: Cafe Orleans, River Belle Terrace and Carnation Café, subject to availability. Reservations are recommended for table-service restaurants and can be booked online closer to the event dates. Keep your eyes on Disneyland.com.

The ultimate souvenir is one guests can show off, both during the event and after! This year’s collection includes a Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse ear headband, trading pin, T-shirt, zip-up hoodie and tumbler.
