Star Wars Nite is a unique special event that you can only find at the OG Disney park, Disneyland.

This special ticketed experience takes place in the park after dark. There are tons of exciting things to experience during this event, and you won’t want to miss any of them!
In 2024, Star Wars Nite took place on April 16th, 18th, 23rd, 25th, 30th, and May 2nd, 7th, and 9th.
When will 2025 Star Wars Nite Tickets Go on Sale?
Based on previous years, tickets will be available at the end of February. Magic Key Holders will have a few days to purchase tickets before they are available to the general public.

In 2024, ticket prices started at $159 for guests ages 3 and up. And we’ll keep you posted on the 2025 ticket prices as soon as Disney releases them!
The 2025 Star Wars Nite dates haven’t been released, so let’s help you decide if this event is for you.
Entertainment
One of the biggest ride draws is the special ride overlay at Hyperspace Mountain, which you can check out with minimal wait time! You can also experience multiple other attractions in the park without ride overlays, but they also have very low waits due to the event’s capacity.

You also won’t want to miss some of the special dance party, Galactic DJ Party Zone, on Main Street, U.S.A.

And don’t forget about the Lightsaber Instructional over near “it’s a small world” This activity is open for all ages to enjoy, and it’s sure to be popular, so expect to wait a little while!
There’s even a Lightsaber Meet-Up with Rey near the Millennium Falcon.

Jam out to some classic cantina tunes played by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, who cruised the Rivers of America.

You also won’t want to miss the special themed cavalcade with Mickey and Minnie that will parade down Main Street, U.S.A. The best part? If you’ve dressed up for the night, you may be invited to join the parade!
Food
There are also tons of special eats available for purchase at this event! For example, you can grab the Galactic Princess Sundae, inspired by Princess Leia.

There’s also the Pineapple and Ube Crescent Sundae at The Tropical Hideaway or Lah’mu Burger!
Characters
What’s Star Wars night without characters? Throughout the night, you’ll be able to meet tons of your favorite Star Wars characters in different areas of the park. Some of these characters are VERY rare, like C-3PO.
We even got to meet up with some Jawas and their Droid (or rather, probably a Droid they “acquired.”

We even got to say hello to Padme Amidala.

Mickey and Minnie greeted us in their special Star Wars-themed outfits. Mickey’s outfit was inspired by R2-D2, while Minnie’s outfit was inspired by BB-8.

Speaking of that sassy Droid, we also said hello to BB-8 later in the evening.

Don’t underestimate the power of the Dark Side: Emperor Palpatine also put in an appearance.

His apprentice, Darth Vader, was on hand to intimidate us — he even brought some Stormtroopers.
Darth Maul had to steal the spotlight.
