The 2025 Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite marks the final event in the series of Disneyland After Dark events this year. While there are still after-hours events during the Halloween season with Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure, this is the final after-hours event at Disneyland. Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is being offered on two nights this year, June 16 and June 18, 2025. There are several different entertainment offerings throughout this event that are a lot of fun. They lean into nostalgia, love, care, and tolerance. Below is a look at the offerings for this year’s Pride Nite, along with the times they are offered.
Welcome Pride Cavalcade
9:05 PM & 11:30 PM – Parade Route
The Welcome Pride Cavalcade really kicks off the night. The first cavalcade starts at it’s a small world, and the later one at Town Square. There ARE show stops near it’s a small world and Main Street, U.S.A. Keep this in mind when picking a spot. If you don’t want to wait as long for this cavalcade, watch the second one.
Welcome Fireworks
9:40 PM – Skies Above Disneyland
The Welcome Fireworks is a quick fireworks show that has some favorite tunes that are accompanied by fireworks over the skies of Disneyland. This fireworks show is best watched from Main Street, U.S.A. or in the Hub. Basically, anywhere you can see the castle is probably the best. It is fairly easy to grab a spot on Main Street, U.S.A. after the first Welcome Pride Cavalcade.
A Musical Celebration of Pride
10:15 PM, 11:15 PM, 12:15 AM – Near it’s a small world, Fantasyland
A Musical Celebration of Pride is a wonderful presentation along the it’s a small world Mall (we wish they’d put it in a bigger location!). This starts and ends with music from Hercules. In the middle are songs about love and identity of all kinds. This includes a fun medley of songs that is reminiscent of Animazement! years ago. Show up a few minutes early for this show as the parade route/viewing area is kept clear until shortly before the show.
Fond Farewell with Mickey Mouse & Friends
12:45 AM Train Station, Main Street, U.S.A.
The Fond Farewell with Mickey Mouse & Friends takes place at the end of the event. Mickey and friends come out at approximately 12:45 AM. After dancing and waving for a little under 10 minutes, they said goodnight and disappeared! This is a cute way to say goodnight. If the second night goes as the first night, don’t expect to see the Disney characters if you arrive in Town Square after 12:55 AM.
Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite also has some other entertaining offerings. This includes two dance parties. One is along the Rivers of America. The other is at the Tomorrowland Terrace (with Stitch and friends!). There is also Country line dancing at the Golden Horseshoe. On top of that, the Tapestry of Happiness is also presented in the evening on the facade of it’s a small world. There are also Disney characters, specialty foods, merchandise, and photo ops found throughout Disneyland during the event as well.
At the time of this writing, there are still tickets for the June 18th Pride Nite. They can be purchased on the Disneyland website.
