Disneyland® Park Star Wars Night: The After-Hours Party Where Disneyland® Goes Full Galactic

Star Wars Night Disneyland® Park (a.k.a. Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite) is what happens when Disneyland® Park says, “Let’s close the park… and then reopen it for the nerds.”

You get a separately ticketed, after-hours event in Disneyland® Park with shorter waits, exclusive entertainment, themed snacks, and enough lightsabers to make you check your reflection like, “Do I… look heroic?”

In 2026, it lands on four select nights in late April and early May—so yes, this is your sign to start practicing your dramatic cape turns now.

Tickets, Ages, and the “Don’t Wait Too Long” Reality

This isn’t included with daytime admission. Star Wars Nite is its own ticket, and tickets are limited.

For 2026, prices start at $174 per guest (ages 3+), and the official event nights are April 28, April 30, May 4, and May 6.

Also, guests ages 2 and under don’t need a ticket—tiny Jedi perks.

Here’s the power move: your event ticket also lets you enter Disneyland® Park as early as 6:00 PM (the party runs 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM).

That’s three extra hours to eat, ride, and “accidentally” buy something that lights up.

Where It All Goes Down (Disneyland® Park, Obviously)

Star Wars Nite takes place inside Disneyland® Park in Anaheim, California.

You’ll be bouncing between lands like it’s your job—Tomorrowland for the First Order drama, Galaxy’s Edge for peak immersion, and random corners for surprise photo ops you’ll pretend were candid.

Address: 1313 S. Disneyland Dr., Anaheim, CA 92802.

When to Go (And Why the Clock Matters)

Star Wars Nite 2026 happens on: April 28, April 30, May 4, and May 6.

The event runs 9:00 PM–1:00 AM, with mix-in entry starting at 6:00 PM.

One more thing: you’ll want the Disneyland App handy.

You’ll use it for event-day convenience (and, yes, photo stuff—more on that in a second).

Who This Night Is For

This one’s for guests of all ages who love Star Wars, love Disneyland® Park, or love the idea of seeing Disneyland® Park with a little less elbow-to-elbow chaos.

It’s also a sneaky win for groups with mixed priorities.

The “rides first” people can sprint to Star Wars attractions, the “I came to vibe” people can chase entertainment, and the snack hunters can immediately start their culinary side quest.

Everybody gets their moment.

The Highlights That Make It Feel Like a Movie Scene

Star Wars Night Disneyland isn’t just “stay late and walk around.” It’s stacked with specific, can’t-do-this-on-a-normal-day stuff, like:

• Lightsaber Instructional: learn how to wield a lightsaber from elite instructors (aka: you become 12 years old again).
• March of the First Order (with Captain Phasma): Tomorrowland gets very “comply or else.”
• Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes: the Cantina Band makes special appearances on the Rivers of America. Yes, really.
• Fleet of Fandom cosplay showcase: dress up and join a march down Main Street, U.S.A.
• Choose Your Path: scan QR codes around the park to show allegiance to the light side or dark side. The park tallies votes and announces results during the night.

And then there’s the food. New 2026 bites include Pizza Five Blossom Bread at Oga’s Cantina, a Galactic Bundt Cake at Jolly Holiday Bakery Café and Galactic Grill, and Banth-gogi at Edelweiss Snacks and Maurice’s Treats.

Parking, Fees, and the Walk of Mild Regret

Let’s keep it simple: parking fees (starting at $40) are not included in your Star Wars Nite ticket price.

If you want fewer stress levels, plan to arrive early for security and parking, then take advantage of that 6:00 PM entry.

That way, you’re not power-walking like you’re late to your own rebellion meeting.

Book It the Easy Way With Tripster

If you’re going to Star Wars Nite, you might as well make the whole Disneyland® Resort trip smooth—tickets, hotel, packages, and the part where you don’t have to juggle a million tabs while whispering, “Why is planning fun like this?”

Tripster was literally built for that kind of whole-trip convenience.
