In a celebration of diversity and inclusion, Disneyland Park will once again become the kaleidoscope of colors as it gears up to host Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite for the second consecutive year. This special LGBTQIA+ community event is set to illuminate the park for two nights on June 18 and 20, 2024.
As the park transitions into the night, a palette of rainbow projections and lively decor will set the stage for an array of event-exclusive experiences. The celebrations kick off with the Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite fireworks show “WELCOME!,” an explosive display of pyrotechnics and music that sets the tone for the evening. Not to be missed is the Welcome Pride Cavalcade, a colorful procession featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends dressed in multi-hued outfits.
The festivities continue with the Pride Nite Dance Club along the Rivers of America and the Ohana Dance Party in Tomorrowland, where Stitch and a resident DJ unite everyone through the universal language of dance and celebration of family. Meanwhile, multiple immersive photo opportunities allow guests to capture their vibrant memories against backdrops inspired by Disney characters and films.
Culinary delights are on the menu as well, with new offerings including a key lime pudding and red berry sangria at River Belle Terrace, and the Instagram-worthy funnel cake with cereal milk and multi-colored marshmallow cereal topping at Stage Door Café. Café Orleans and Hungry Bear Restaurant join in with their own specialty items. For a cherry on top, the Plaza Inn presents a dining package with coveted reserved viewing for the fireworks and cavalcade.
The event opens with a mix-in period starting from 6 p.m., where guests with tickets can enjoy early access. Commemorative keepsakes such as an event guide map, Pride Nite credentials, and unlimited digital downloads of Disney PhotoPass photos add to the exclusive party favors.
Magic Key holders get first dibs on tickets starting on April 9 from a select pool of pre-sale tickets. Two days later, the general public will have their chance to join the event, with tickets going live on April 11. Attendees can make use of the virtual queue system’s new feature to be notified when it’s their turn to purchase.
