The energy at the party was high! The spirit was in the air and it felt like a happy and upbeat atmosphere. The guest costumes for the event were a standout!

The crowd levels were low, so there were low wait times for almost all of the attractions and short waits for food and mobile orders.

Anyone can go to the Pride pre-party at Hearthstone Lounge at Disney's Grand Californian, as you don't need a party ticket or park admission for this. This was a great way to start the evening! See the cool Pride carpet leading up to the Hearthstone Lounge below.

Check-in was a fast and easy process. Early check-in inside of the park was in Fantasyland.

The music was upbeat and fun, and there was tons of entertainment to enjoy throughout the night. In addition to the entertainment by Disney, there were even more random dance parties started by guests and Cast Members because the energy was so great. Everywhere you turned, there was something fun to see or experience!

The line dancing inside of Golden Horseshoe was a blast! Whether you were participating in the dancing or watching, it was a good time.

See some of the fun foods offered at the event like a Rainbow Trifle from Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe:

Here's the Loaded Churro Bites from Galactic Grill! All of the treats were super fun and tasty.

The event was lots of fun, and guests did not want to leave! The event ended at 1 am, but at 1:45 am there were still people having a blast dancing on Main Street.

The photo ops were unique and had short waits. See some cute ones like this Tea Cup photo op:

And this photo op at the train station with a beautiful colorful background!

The fireworks show was short and ended a bit abruptly without a big finale. This was the first fireworks show of any Disneyland After Dark event this year, which was great and added to the vibe. The highlight of the fireworks show was the song sequence featuring “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman.

The After Dark events which did not have fireworks this year but did in the past had a different and noticeably passive atmosphere.
