In 2026, two nights have been announced for Disneyland Pass members, both at Disneyland Park. The first one, Disney Pirates & Princesses Celebration Night, took place on Friday, September 11, from 18:30 to 2:30. The second one, Disney Christmas Wishes Night, is set for Friday, November 20. Its tickets, released on September 29 at 11:00, are all gone. I cover it in detail further down, after the recap of the September night.
One thing stands out: this year’s season got going far later than in the past. Back in 2023, 2024, and 2025, members got their first night in March already. In 2026, nothing happened until September, and there was no spring night at all.
For the September night, the tickets went on sale on July 2, 2026, at 11:00, priced at €65, and sold very quickly. The night was sold out. Disneyland Paris released the full program on September 7, and you’ll find it in detail below. To understand how these nights work (who can come, how to buy tickets, what to plan for), see the Disneyland Pass Nights guide.

Disneyland Pass Nights in 2026: a quick overview.
Disney Pirates & Princesses Celebration Night
This time, Disneyland Paris paired up two worlds, pirates on one side and princesses on the other. It’s not a brand-new idea: members already had a night built around it in 2018. The teaser actually winked at the characters Jimmy Ocean and Betty Rose, introduced at that earlier night. Disneyland Park was reserved entirely for Disneyland Pass holders for the evening, and each member could bring up to two guests who paid for their own tickets.
Disneyland Paris shared the schedule on September 7, 2026. The night stretched from the first show, at 20:15, all the way to the closing cavalcade at 2:30.
For shows, five performances set the pace of the night:
- Minnie and the Pirate Academy the Frontierland theater, at 20:15, 21:10, 22:05, 23:00, and midnight. Join Minnie and her crew for a lesson at pirate school, full of dance moves and a little mischief, with Captain Hook and Mr. Smee along for the fun.
- The Disney Royal Ball Central Plaza, at 22:30. An invitation to a ball.
- Disney: At the Crossroads the Videopolis theater, at 22:55, 23:50, 0:45, and 1:40. A fresh take on the Pirates & Princesses show, starring Betty Rose and Jimmy Ocean.
- The Pirates Celebration Central Plaza, at 0:30. Several scenes drawn from the pirate movies.
- Pirates and Princesses: The Parade along the parade route, at 2:30. The grand finale cavalcade: pirates and Disney Princesses together with Mickey and Minnie.
For entertainment, there were three options:
- Sing, Dance and Dream! Discoveryland Theatre, at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00, and midnight. Time to sing along to a Disney Cruise Line tune and get moving on the dance floor.
- DJ Party Central Plaza, from 23:30 to 0:30, then from 1:15 to 2:15.
- Photo fun at Autopia from 22:00 to 1:30. Get behind the wheel, and pick up a collectible driver’s license at the exit (while supplies last).
For character meet and greets, the program listed around twenty characters, starting at 22:00 (some from 20:00), with times posted on site:
Fantasyland: pirate-costumed Mickey or Goofy, Flynn with Rapunzel, plus Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, and Snow White at the Princess Pavilion, then Lady Tremaine with Anastasia and Drizella, Jaq and Suzy, Gus and Perla, and finally Prince Phillip with Princess Aurora.
Adventureland: Wendy with Peter Pan, Mr. Smee with Captain Hook, Jasmine and Aladdin alongside the Genie, plus Mushu, Raya, and Jake the pirate.
Frontierland: Meeko and Pocahontas, then Tiana and Naveen joined by Louis playing with his jazz band.
Main Street, U.S.A.: Princess Sofia, from 23:00 at the Casey’s Corner gazebo.
Discoveryland: Rey, Boba Fett, Asha, Vanellope, Kida and Milo.
Part of the park stayed open during the night.
Rides: in Frontierland, Big Thunder Mountain and Phantom Manor. In Discoveryland, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, Star Tours, Orbitron, and Autopia. In Fantasyland, Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains, Les Voyages de Pinocchio, Dumbo, Le Carrousel de Lancelot, Peter Pan’s Flight, it’s a small world, and the Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups. In Adventureland, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril.
Restaurants (closing time): Casey’s Corner closed first, at 23:30. Midnight was closing time for The Lucky Nugget Saloon, Casa de Coco, and Overland Trail Café. Cookie Kitchen and Café Hyperion stayed open until 1:00, and Market House Deli until 2:00.
Stores: closing at 2:30, including the Emporium, Boardwalk Candy Palace, Disney Clothiers, Main Street Motors, Crystal Arts, Constellations, and Light Speed Photography.
Two restaurants served cocktails and mocktails created just for the night (no Disneyland Pass discount on these): at Toad Hall Restaurant, the Midnight Ball cocktail (€10) and the Sweet Wonder mocktail (€8), and at Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, the Captain’s Treasure cocktail (€10) and the Little Cabin Boy mocktail (€8). There was also a box of 3 macarons (€6).

Disney Christmas Wishes Night: the 2026 Christmas party
Disney Christmas Wishes Night takes place on Friday, November 20, 2026, at Disneyland Park, from 22:00 to 2:00 (early entry from 18:30). A ticket costs €65 (free for kids under 3). The tickets, released on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 11:00, are all gone: the night is sold out. It’s open only to Disneyland Pass Gold, Silver, Bronze, Bronze Max, and Bronze One members, with 1 paying guest.
This is the 2026 Christmas annual pass party, and Disney Christmas Wishes Night is its official English name. Compared with the 2024 and 2025 Christmas nights, three things are different. First, sales opened about two weeks earlier: they used to open in mid-October (October 15, 2024, and October 14, 2025). Next, the ticket goes up to €65, the same as in September, versus €59 for those two nights. Finally, you can bring only 1 guest, versus 2 for the September night and for the 2024 Christmas Night.
Disneyland Paris has already announced several character meet and greets, exclusive shows, an immersive atmosphere throughout the park, and other surprises. The full program hasn’t been shared yet. A selection of restaurants and stores will be open from early entry until the night ends.
As for tickets, they’re sold while spots remain, and they’re non-exchangeable, non-refundable, and non-transferable. Kids’ passes don’t let you buy a ticket, either online or on site on the night of the party.
These parties go quickly. Back in 2025, Christmas Ball Night was full on the same day sales opened. The September 2026 night also filled up in no time, and Disney Christmas Wishes Night did too. For the next party, my advice is to be signed in to your Disney account, in "My Disneyland Pass", a few minutes before sales start.
