In 2026, there will be three Disney Channel Nite parties taking place in April on the following dates:
- Sunday, April 12
- Tuesday, April 14
- Thursday, April 16
These events are happening just before 2026 Star Wars Nites at Disneyland.
We do not yet have ticket sale details for Disney Channel Nite in 2026. We anticipate that they will go on sale in early February. For the Disneyland After Dark events, there will typically be a pre-sale for Inspire Key holders with a select number of tickets, followed by a day where all Magic Key holders can purchase from a select number of tickets. Then, on the third day, tickets go on sale to the general public.

Last time, tickets cost $139 for both days of the event, but we can assume that prices will be higher this year. Sweethearts’ Nite pricing starts at $159 in 2026, so we anticipate that it will be this amount or higher for the party nights. We will keep you updated when this information is released.
