After regular park hours end at 9pm, guests will be able to party and ride some rides at Disneyland until 1am. There will also be a Pride Nite Cavalcade on Main Street featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Clarabelle in specially designed Pride outfits.

Other special events include the Ohana Dance Party at Tomorrowland Terrace featuring Stitch, Pride Nite Dance Club along the Rivers of America, country line dancing at the Golden Horseshoe, photo backdrops featuring Disney characters and inspirational messages, and riding the Haunted Mansions, Indiana Jones Adventure, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

There will also be special snacks created for the event, including a Chocolate Almond Churro, Spiced Beef Potato Loaded Bites, Berry Cheesecake Funnel Cake, and Grapefruit Lemonade Soda.
