Disneyland’s 2025 Early Closures and Late Openings Could Disrupt Your Trip – See All Dates!

This is the second year that Disneyland has released its special events calendar for the entire year. Typically they hold these Disneyland dates to be released throughout the year. This early release gives us the ability to share the dates that we know the parks are closing early for you to consider when making key decisions.

There are a variety of fun events to look forward to during the next year. While many will be looking to attend the popular Disneyland After Dark events and Oogie Boogie Bash parties during the Halloween season, these special after-hours events close down the park early for the rest of the guests at the park. Some other events are also returning that cause the park to open later.

Some are caught off guard by Disneyland's early closures and late openings and end up having to unexpectedly cut their park plans short without a Park Hopper ticket or alternative plan for the evenings or to start later.

We want to help you avoid this, so sure you're in the know about the dates that the Disneyland parks will be closing early! We will take you through all of the 2025 early or late closures that could disrupt your park experience. For ride closures, see our what rides are closed at Disneyland article here.

This article has been checked for accuracy for 2025 and updated with all currently available information.

Disneyland 2025 Early Closures

On certain nights during the year, Disneyland closes early for Disneyland After Dark nights, Cast Member celebrations, Oogie Boogie Bash nights, or other special events. At certain times during the year, the parks also just close on the earlier side generally. You can read all about Disneyland 2025 hours and hours predictions here.

There will be four Disneyland After Dark themes in 2025, with parties taking place on select nights each month from January through mid-June, and the Oogie Boogie Bash parties occur in the fall months during the Halloween celebration at Disneyland. On event nights, guests without a special event ticket will not be able to continue enjoying the park after its early closing.

If you are at the park during an Oogie Boogie Bash party night, for example, you will see signs warning that the park will close at 6pm when the event starts. Those who are attending the event are given special wristbands so that Cast Members can identify they have a ticket and they can remain in the park. When park closing time arrives, guests without wristbands are moved to the front of the park and not allowed to go deeper into the park or onto attractions.

Guests who have a Park Hopper ticket on event nights can simply go to the park that is not closing early, but those without a Park Hopper ticket may find their park day cut unexpectedly short.

There are also a few running and walking events throughout the year that can disrupt the park schedule and cause the parks to open late. Disneyland is now hosting runDisney events again at the park with the return of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend and Halloween runDisney Disneyland race in 2025. There is also a charity walk called the Disneyland CHOC Walk that may interrupt park mornings.

Below, we will take you through the months when Disneyland will have early closures or late openings at both Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.
