Grad Nite at the Disneyland Resort is a special ticketed event for local graduating seniors, held every year on select nights at the start of summer. The Grad Nite parties take place at Disney California Adventure after the park closes, but graduates can also purchase tickets that include daytime park access.
Disney California Adventure will close early on Grad Nites to accommodate the event and graduating seniors, which makes knowing the dates relevant for anyone visiting Disneyland during this timeframe. We just got the full dates and ticket details for 2027. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including the new Hallmark Disney World movie trailer release and the special ticket offer for Disneyland evenings.

When Grad Nites takes place, Disney California Adventure will close to regular guests at 9 PM for the event, which takes place from 9 PM to 2 AM. This is about an hour earlier than usual, as Disney California Adventure typically closes at 10 PM on regular park days during the summer. Guests can still enjoy World of Color on nights when Grad Nites takes place, so the impact on the park isn't too drastic outside of the early closing.
The 2027 Disneyland Grad Nites dates have been announced for May and June at Disneyland 2027:
- May 7, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26 and 27, 2027
- June 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 11, 2027
The biggest impact Grad Nites has on Disneyland is the atmosphere and crowd levels at the parks, as guests will noticeably see an increase in teenagers on these event days, especially during the evenings before the event.
