Three posters for the 2025 Disneyland Pass evenings: Sounds of Magic, Disney Starlight Night, and Christmas Ball Night

In 2025, Disneyland Pass members enjoyed three private nights spread across the year. The first, Disney Sounds of Magic, took place on March 21, built around Disney’s timeless songs.

The second, Disney Starlight Night, was held on September 12, themed around the movies and the stories of Disney and Pixar. The third, Christmas Ball Night, took place on December 5 to celebrate Christmas with the Disney Princesses. Each one cost €59 per person and included access to one park.

I went to all three, and this page gathers their programs, one edition at a time. To understand how these nights work (who can come, how to buy tickets, what to plan for), see my Disneyland Pass Nights guide.
