One of the highlights of the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration is the return of the Paint the Night parade. Paint the Night is a modern iteration of the Main Street Electrical Parade. It electrifies the night with its LED lights, incredible floats, upbeat music, and energetic performers. First debuting at Disneyland during its 60th anniversary celebration in 2015, it quickly became a favorite for Disney fans visiting the Disneyland Resort. It ran until January 2017. It then returned the following year, this time at Disney California Adventure. Fast forward to 2025, and the parade has returned and continues to delight!
The parade is taking a break for the holiday season and is scheduled to return in early 2026. The Daps Magic team was on hand for the final performances of the parade in 2025 on Sunday night. Here is a full video of the parade on Sunday night:
The following video of the final parade of the night during its final moments was also shared with Daps Magic by a good friend of the site, Spencer:
With Paint the Night taking a break until the new year, A Christmas Fantasy Parade will take its place along the parade route. It will open on Friday, November 14, 2025, and continue throughout the holiday season until January 7, 2026. This will be just one of many offerings for guests to enjoy during the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. Believe… in Holiday Magic will return to the skies over Disneyland at night. There will also be numerous food and beverage offerings throughout the Disneyland Resort during the holidays. On top of that, Disney Festival of Holidays will also have food and beverage offerings. For those who are into seeing entertainment or Disney characters, there will be plenty of opportunities for this as well, including some awesome character dining experiences!
