Disneyland Pride Nite 2025 – Dates, Character List, Details, Prices

Pride Nite at Disneyland is an after-hours celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community featuring rainbow projections, colorful décor, special entertainment, and more that will be returning in 2025.

As part of the Disneyland After Dark events, Disneyland introduced the first Pride Nite to the park during Pride Month in June a couple of years ago. This was a big deal for the LGBTQIA+ community, as it was Disneyland’s first official pride event! Previously, an outside group celebrated Gay Days at Disneyland, and Disneyland recognized that event with special merchandise and food and beverage offerings. Disneyland Paris has also held official events previously, but this was the first official Disney-hosted pride event in the domestic Disney parks.

Keep reading for the 2025 Disneyland Pride Nite dates, ticket sale details announced, details about entertainment and offerings, and tips for making the most of the experience. See our review of last year’s Pride Nite for our thoughts and highlights of the event!

Some of the information from previous years has been kept here to give you a sense of what will likely be offered in 2025.

2025 Disneyland Pride Nite Tips

We have a few tips for making the most out of your experience at Pride Nite based on our experiences at past Disneyland After Dark events. Be sure to keep the following in mind if you are planning on attending Pride Nite this year:

1. Consider a day off from the parks. While it is tempting to power through a day at the parks before Pride Nite, keep in mind that the event will be taking place very late in the evening after the park closes. We recommend taking the day off from the parks to sleep in and rest up at your hotel so that you are energized enough to enjoy all of the night’s offerings. Because Pride Nite will be taking place during the summer, this could be a good opportunity to enjoy the hotel pool to stay cool (see the best hotels with pools in our guide) or spend some time at the beach for the first part of the day.
2. Make sure you arrive early and not right at 6 pm when the mix-in hours start. Because you only get limited time to enjoy the parks before the party begins, you’ll want to arrive at least 30 minutes before the mix-in hours start so that you can be through the line and not lose any time. Some guests are caught off guard by the long entry lines, so make sure you plan for this so you can make the most of your time.
3. Use your mix-in hours and party hours wisely. When the Pride Nite offerings are announced, we recommend going through them and making a list of priorities for what you will want to experience during the party. If there are any activities, attractions, or other experiences that will not be available during the party, make this your priority during the mix-in hours. That way, you’ll be making the best use of your pre-party mix-in hours and will be able to focus on the unique offerings and special entertainment at Pride Nite during the event. Keep in mind that character meet and greets can often take up time during these events, especially for rare characters, so if you have a particular one in mind, you’ll want to make that a priority.
4. Mobile order your food early. This way, you won’t get stuck in long ordering lines during the event which can eat up valuable time. We recommend mobile ordering your food as early as possible so that you get the exclusive snacks and selecting a pickup time of 8 pm or later. See our guide to mobile ordering at Disneyland for everything you need to know!
