Disneyland California Confirms Another Kid-Friendly Pride Celebration This Year

Disneyland Resort is kicking off its Pride Month celebrations a little early—and this year’s festivities promise to be as family-friendly as ever. Even before June begins, the Southern California destination has already installed one of its beloved rainbow displays and confirmed the return of Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite.

Scheduled for June 16 and June 18, 2025, Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is a separately ticketed event offering after-hours access to Disneyland Park. It features exclusive experiences designed for guests of all ages. Attendees will enjoy character meet-and-greets with Disney favorites in colorful rainbow costumes, live entertainment including the “Welcome Pride Cavalcade,” and the special fireworks display, “Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite Fireworks—WELCOME!”

Tickets, which are on sale now, cost $169 per person aged 3 and up. Admission includes entry to Disneyland Park beginning at 6:00 p.m., with the event itself running from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Event-exclusive food, drinks, and merchandise will also be available for purchase throughout the park.

In addition to Pride Nite, Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and the Downtown Disney District will celebrate Pride all month long. Decorations honoring the LGBTQIA+ community are being installed throughout the Southern California Disney parks, and themed treats and merchandise will be offered at select locations.

One standout addition is the fan-favorite rainbow Mickey Mouse topiary, which recently reappeared in Downtown Disney. X (formerly known as Twitter) user @DisneyScoopGuy shared photos of the colorful floral display just after it went up:

“Celebrate diversity and inclusion at the Disneyland Resort with a Downtown Disney District installation inspired by Colombian floral arrangements called silletas (see-yeh-tahs),” a sign near the display reads. “This silleta honors the Disneyland Resort PRIDE BERG, which fosters an environment where all LGBTQIA+ cast members feel encouraged to be their true, authentic selves. The Disney PRIDE BERG advocates, celebrates, and educates on behalf of their community, fostering a culture of authenticity and inclusivity.”

Disneyland Resort’s Pride Month decorations will stick around through at least June 30, 2025, providing guests with plenty of opportunities to experience the magic.
