During the evening, you can enjoy atmospheric details like projections and music throughout the park, events like a lightsaber meetup, and entertainment like the Cantina band “Figirin D’an and the Modal Nodes” on the Rivers of America.
A major highlight of the event is the rare characters you’ll see, like Ewoks, Luke and Leia, Queen Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, etc. While the offerings have not yet been announced for the 2026 Disneyland Star Wars Nite parties, you can see all of the highlights from last year in our review.
In 2026, there will be four Star Wars Nite parties taking place in late April and early May. For the past few years, this celebration coincided with the Star Wars: Season of the Force celebration at the park.
Notably, there will be half the number of Disneyland Star Wars Nite parties. We know that attendance was lower than Disney maybe would have liked for these events this year, and since demand is down, the move to cut down the number of parties makes sense.
You can see all of the Disneyland Star Wars Nite 2026 dates below:
- Tuesday, April 28
- Thursday, April 30
- Monday, May 4
- Wednesday, May 6
We do not yet have ticket sale details for Disneyland Star Wars Nite in 2026. Last time, Star Wars Nite tickets went on sale in late January. Because the parties start later than this year’s did, we don’t anticipate that tickets will go on sale until February.
For Disneyland After Dark events, Disney typically does 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 year, Star Wars Nite ranged from $169-$189 per person, so we expect we may see a price increase for peak pricing on May the 4th. This is usually the date that sells out the quickest. Given that there are fewer party nights in 2026, we do anticipate this event will sell out fairly quickly.
