food IS a theme park
Did you know that there’s a lot to do in Disneyland at night?
Grad Nite at Disney California Adventure
There are some fun separately ticketed nighttime events that guests can attend: there’s a Halloween party, a holiday party, and even Star Wars nights! There’s also a Grad Nite event, which is for graduating high school seniors — and we now have more information about the event for the class of 2023, including ticket prices.
Disneyland is constantly bringing us new treats to try!
The Rocket Sundae!
We recently tried some holiday-inspired food to celebrate being halfway to the holidays like the Christmas dinner corn dog and the peppermint churro! Disneyland’s Grad Nite events also had some special foods like a cheese covered burger and a spicy pizza! We tried it all, including a new treat in Avengers Campus!
The Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion After Hours event just took place in Disneyland, and you know we had to check it out!
Look at Chip in his cap and gown!
The event takes place in Disney California Adventure park and is an after hours, separately ticketed 4-hour event. It celebrates the last six decades of graduating classes with exclusive offerings like cafeteria-inspired dishes, special characters, entertainment, and more. Come along with us to try out one of the special food offerings at the event!
If you’re just a daytime guest, you may not realize that Disney World and Disneyland Resort host all kinds of nighttime special events!
Disney California Adventure
Throughout the year, you can attend holiday parties on both coasts for the Halloween and Christmas seasons, as well as special events like Star Wars Nights in Disneyland or H2O Glow Nights in Disney World. This week, we got the chance to visit Disney California Adventure’s Grad Nite event, and if you’re planning on stopping by soon, we’re breaking down all the excitement we got to experience!
There’s so much going on at the Disneyland Resort right now!
Disneyland
Main Street Electrical Parade, World of Color, Disneyland Forever fireworks, and Fantasmic! have all returned to the parks! And, to add to the excitement, Disneyland Resort’s graduation season is in full effect, with the first-ever series of Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion events set to begin on June 23rd. But it’s not all good news, as Disney California Adventure will be shortening hours and getting rid of a popular show on the days of this event.
Not long ago Disney announced the first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion ticketed event, a four-hour event during which Disney will celebrate the last six decades of graduating classes in Disney California Adventure.

This event will allow guests to experience exclusive offerings not typically available in Disneyland Resort, such as special cafeteria-inspired dishes, characters, photo ops, entertainment, and more. Today Disney revealed a few more details about this brand new event, and we know the dates and some of the food that guests can choose from!
We LOVE all of the after-hours events that Disney puts on throughout the parks.

We just learned that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is coming back to Disney World, and Disneyland fans will be happy to hear that Oogie Boogie Bash will be returning as well! Disneyland recently announced that a new kind of after-hours Grad Nite event would be coming to the park — and tickets just went on sale!
Let’s face it, Disneyland Resort had some KILLER after-hours events in 2021. Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure was full of spooky delights (like Agatha Harkness and a Zombie Captain America!) and Merriest Nites in Disneyland was a ton of festive fun and even the Muppets were there (we may or may not have cried when we saw them).

More nighttime fun is on the way! Disneyland After Dark will be coming back in 2022, and now we just got word about another classic event returning to Disneyland this year.
As the Disneyland Resort reopening remains unknown, another event has been canceled.

Last graduation season, Disneyland Resort had to cancel Grad Nite celebrations. Typically, these nights give recent grads a chance to explore Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in celebration of their accomplishments. Now, the 2021 events have been canceled as well.
For years, Disneyland has hosted Grad Nites. This event allows high school seniors to create once-in-a-lifetime memories with their friends… and some Disney magic!

And since the 2019 dates have come to a close (CONGRATS, Grads!), Disney has released the Grad Nite dates for 2020!
