In 2026, two nights have been announced for Disneyland Pass members, both at Disneyland Park. The first, the Disney Pirates & Princesses Celebration Night, took place on Friday 11 September, from 18:30 to 2:30. The second, the Christmas Wishes Night, will take place on Friday 20 November. Tickets went on sale on 29 September at 11:00 and have all gone. I cover it in detail further down, after the recap of the September night.
Worth noting: the season started much later than usual. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the first night was held as early as March. In 2026, you had to wait until September, with no spring night.
For the September night, tickets went on sale on 2 July 2026 at 11:00, priced at €65, and went very quickly. The night was sold out. Disneyland Paris revealed the full programme on 7 September, and you’ll find it in detail below. To understand how these nights work (who can go, how to buy tickets, what to plan for), see my guide to Disneyland Pass Nights.

Disney Pirates & Princesses Celebration Night
For this edition, Disneyland Paris brought two worlds together: pirates and princesses. The theme isn’t new. It’s the return of a concept already offered to members in 2018. The teaser even gave a nod to the characters Jimmy Ocean and Betty Rose, who first appeared at that original edition. The night was held at Disneyland Park, entirely closed to the public for Disneyland Pass holders, with up to two paying guests per member.
Disneyland Paris shared the running order on 7 September 2026. The night stretched from the first show, at 20:15, to the final cavalcade at 2:30.
For shows, five highlights set the pace of the night:
- Minnie and the Pirate Academy Frontierland Theatre, at 20:15, 21:10, 22:05, 23:00 and midnight. Minnie and her crew take you to pirate school, with dancing and a touch of mischief, alongside Captain Hook and Mr. Smee.
- The Disney Royal Ball Central Plaza, at 22:30. An invitation to a ball.
- Disney: Where Paths Cross Videopolis Theatre, at 22:55, 23:50, 0:45 and 1:40. Betty Rose and Jimmy Ocean in a reworked version of the Pirates & Princesses show.
- The Pirates’ Celebration Central Plaza, at 0:30. Several scenes from the pirate films.
- Pirates and Princesses: The Parade along the parade route, at 2:30. The final cavalcade, with pirates, Disney Princesses, Mickey and Minnie.
For entertainment, there were three activities:
- Sing, Dance and Dream! Discoveryland Theatre, at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 and midnight. A chance to sing a Disney Cruise Line song and dance.
- DJ Party Central Plaza, from 23:30 to 0:30, then from 1:15 to 2:15.
- Photo opportunity at Autopia from 22:00 to 1:30. Take the wheel and pick up a collector’s driving licence on the way out (limited quantity).
For character meets, the programme listed around twenty characters, from 22:00 (some from 20:00), with times shown on the day:
Fantasyland: Mickey or Goofy as pirates, Rapunzel and Flynn, the princesses Belle, Ariel, Cinderella and Snow White (at the Princess Pavilion), Anastasia, Drizella and Lady Tremaine, Jaq and Suzy, Gus and Perla, Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip.

Part of the park stays open during the night.

Disney Christmas Wishes Night: the 2026 Christmas night
The Disney Christmas Wishes Night will take place on Friday 20 November 2026 at Disneyland Park, from 22:00 to 2:00 (early access from 18:30). A ticket costs €65 (free for under-3s). The tickets went on sale on Tuesday 29 September 2026 at 11:00 and have all gone: the night is sold out. The night is reserved for members holding a Disneyland Pass Gold, Silver or Bronze, or a Bronze Max or Bronze One, with 1 paying guest.
It’s the 2026 Christmas annual pass party, and Disney Christmas Wishes Night is its official English name. Compared with the Christmas nights of 2024 and 2025, three things change. First, sales opened about two weeks earlier: they had opened in mid-October (15 October 2024 and 14 October 2025). Next, the ticket goes up to €65, as in September, compared with €59 for those two nights. Finally, you can only bring 1 guest, compared with 2 for the September night and for the 2024 Christmas Night.
Disneyland Paris has already announced several character meets, exclusive shows, an immersive atmosphere throughout the park and other surprises. The full programme is yet to come. A selection of restaurants and shops will be open from early access until the end of the night.
As for tickets, they’re sold subject to availability and can’t be exchanged, refunded or transferred. Children’s passes can’t be used to buy a ticket, either online or on site on the day.
These nights sell out fast. In 2025, the Christmas Ball Night sold out on the day tickets went on sale. The September 2026 night also sold out very quickly, just like the Disney Christmas Wishes Night. For the next night, I recommend being logged in to your Disney account, under "My Disneyland Pass", a few minutes before sales open.
