Themed Entertainment, Food and More Coming to Pride Nite
Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community, bringing allies and community members together as Disneyland park is illuminated with rainbow projections. In addition to the colorful décor, here’s just some of the entertainment, photo opportunities and themed menu items in store for guests:

- The Welcome Pride Cavalcade invites guests to celebrate with favorite characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto and Clarabelle in their multicolor outfits for an upbeat procession through Disneyland park.
- Whirl, twirl, sparkle and sway under the stars at the Pride Nite Dance Club along the Rivers of America.
- Everyone’s favorite extraterrestrial, Stitch, leads the Ohana Dance Party in Tomorrowland, where a DJ will be spinning tunes to celebrate “ohana” – family.
- If guests’ feet favor a twist to a western beat, they should be sure to join the Country Line Dancing at The Golden Horseshoe.
- Immersive photo opportunities throughout Disneyland park allow guests to step into the story with photo backdrops inspired by Disney characters and films.
- Guests can enjoy savory snacks and sweets curated specially for the party, including these new items: Key Lime Pudding and Red Berry Sangria at River Belle Terrace, 5 Spice Popcorn Chicken at The Tropical Hideaway, Funnel Cake with Cereal Milk and Multi-Colored Marshmallow Cereal Topping at Stage Door Café and Firecracker Loaded Fries at Hungry Bear Restaurant, to name a few!
