Disney Introducing New After-Hours Event!

For almost 70 years, Guests have headed to Southern California to visit The Happiest Place on Earth — Disneyland Resort. Every day, they ride fun attractions, eat delicious food, interact with classic characters, and watch nighttime spectaculars light up the sky. A day at Disney is always a magical experience. However, Disney also gives Guests the chance to extend their magical day even later into the evening. Throughout the year, Disneyland hosts separately ticketed “After-Hours” events.

Disneyland After Dark events are incredibly popular and have only grown in demand over the years. Each year, events like Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite and Disneyland After Dark: Sweetheart’s Nite have returned to much fanfare. There have also been other After Dark events that have varied over the years, like Villains Nite, Throwback Nite, and Princess Nite.

And now, Disney is introducing another new Disneyland After Dark event!

On April 13, Disney revealed that Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite would be coming to the Resort in June! The new event will include themed entertainment, specialty food and merchandise, photo ops, and more. Guests who purchase a ticket to Pride Nite will also be able to enter Disneyland Park three hours before the party starts, so they can enjoy extra time in the Parks!

Here’s more information on the brand-new event, courtesy of Disney Parks Blog:
