Overview of Star Wars Nite at Disneyland Park

Imagine a night of immersing yourself in "Star Wars," in a galaxy far, far away, but only having to travel as far as Disneyland to enter. No need for lengthy space travel! You can dress as your favorite "Star Wars" character, meet characters and get your photo taken in front of themed backdrops to show off your creative talents. You'll be surrounded by like-minded super fans, see some characters or troops in action and enjoy a special battle between the Light and Dark sides. At Star Wars Nite, you are, according to our old pal Yoda.

The park is lit up in "Star Wars" decor with special projections on Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and the façade of "it's a small world."

When you enter or check in, you'll receive a commemorative credential and guide map. You can also find the guide map in the Disneyland app before and during the event. In fact, it's a great way to plan ahead and scout out your top character locations and entertainment for the night, as well as any special menu items you want in your belly. The event guide and map are usually available a few days in advance in the Disneyland app.

Star Wars Nites can sell out. In 2025, the prices start at $169 for guests ages 3 and up. Parking fees are not included.

Reach hyperspeed in your race to get tickets this year! For Star Wars Nite in 2025, tickets go on sale to the general public Jan. 30, 2025, no earlier than 9 a.m. PT. (Some pre-sale tickets are available for Inspire Magic Key holders on Jan. 28, then for other Magic Key holders on Jan. 29.)

A new feature for purchasing Star Wars Nite tickets lets you leave your computer while you wait, as long as you still have a mobile device on you. Here's how it works: Once in the queue, choose the “Notify Me” option and enter your email address. You’ll then receive an email on your phone notifying you that it’s time to return to the waiting room and enter the ticket store site. From that point, you are given 10 minutes to use your link.

Pre-party mix-in admission to Disneyland Park starts at 6 p.m. (and you do not need to make a theme park reservation). You can check in when you enter the park or in Tomorrowland near the Space Mountain exit. The party kicks off at 9 p.m. and ends at 1 a.m., with parking lot buses and shuttles running until 2 a.m.

Hop over to our post on Disneyland After Dark events to find out more about these events. Let's take a look at the 2025 offerings:

Characters and Photo Locations at Star Wars Nite

Capture all the photos you can! Your party ticket includes unlimited downloads of Disney PhotoPass digital photos taken during the party. You can scan the QR code on your event wristband into the Disneyland app to access Disney PhotoPass digital photos captured during the event. Photos can be downloaded from your Disney account as often as desired, up to 45 days. Disney PhotoPass photos must be linked to your Disney account to be downloaded.

Meet and Greet Locations

You can meet or see rare and popular characters in 2025, including the following confirmed characters and locations (P designates PhotoPass photographers at that location):

• Queen Amidala and Anakin Skywalker - Fantasyland Royal Theatre
• Jawas - Adventureland (P)
• Ewoks - Bayou Country (P)
• Chewbacca - Millennium Falcon
• Rey - Millennium Falcon
• Luke Skywalker - Tomorrowland Star Wars Launch Bay (P)
• Princess Leia and Han Solo - Tomorrowland Star Wars Launch Bay (P)
• Emperor Palpatine & Royal Guards - Tomorrowland
• Captain Phasma & Stormtroopers - Tomorrowland
• Darth Vader - Tomorrowland Star Wars Launch Bay (P)
• Darth Maul - Tomorrowland Launch Bay Roof
• Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla & Chopper - Tomorrowland near Star Tours (P)
• Droids of the Galaxy - Tomorrowland Terrace Stage
• Boba Fett - Tomorrowland
• Gamorian Guard and Jabba the Hutt statue - Fantasyland Theatre
• The Mandalorian with Grogu - Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

• Fennec Shand - Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
• Kylo Ren - Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
• Fond Farewell with Mickey and Minnie in "Star Wars" clothes at Main Street U.S.A. Train Station at 12:30 a.m.

The characters in Launch Bay are a little tricky to meet. Be aware that although you get to choose meeting a light or dark side character upon entering the building, you won't know who you are waiting in line for until you get to them. The light side rotation is Luke Skywalker or Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Many popular characters may be distanced from guests. You keep moving as you pass them except for a quick selfie. That is to allow as many guests to see them as possible. For others, you can wait in line to chat with them one-on-one and take photos.

You can see times for each character in the Disneyland app. Find them on the map and tap their name to see their appearance times. Most characters are out for the event, but they may alternate with other characters so they can go on break.

But that is not all! There could be surprise characters in addition to the ones in the event guide. Catch Mickey and Minnie in their R2-D2 and BB-8 outfits in front of the train station in Town Square (and during the Fleet of Fandom). On the event guide, any character that does not have a green PhotoPass icon is likely a walk-through experience.

Star Wars Nite Attire

You do not need to be a Jedi or a member of the First Order to attend Star Wars Nite, but you are welcome to dress up like one anyway! One of the best parts of Disneyland After Dark events is that guests of all ages can dress up, just like for Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween parties. It's a great time to capture photos in "Star Wars" clothing with a lightsaber in front of iconic spots in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

Just be sure that your out-of-this-galaxy attire meets the Disneyland After Dark costume guidelines, is safe and exhibits good judgment:

• Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground (e.g., full-length dresses or robes).
• Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.
• All guests may dress as their favorite character, but they may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other guests.
• Costumes may not contain any items that resemble (or could easily be mistaken for) an actual weapon. Lightsabers are welcome!
• Costumes may not contain sharp/pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another guest.
• Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.

For Guests Ages 13 and Under

• You may wear costumes, as well as some masks, as long as they don't cover the entire face and the eyes remain visible.

For Guests Ages 14 and Older

Adults and teens: keep safety and good judgment in mind and adhere to these guidelines:

• Capes cannot go below the waist.
• You can wear themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts and hats.
• Acceptable accessories include transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords and tutus.
• Headwear may not cover the face.
• No masks of any kind, except for medical purposes.

The above rules apply only during event hours (and mix-in time when you're allowed to enter the park three hours early for the event). Standard theme park attire rules apply during all other times. All rules, regulations and guidelines may change without notice. If you don't adhere to the guidelines, Disney may remove you from the event, unless you can modify the costume to meet the above standards.

Attractions Open for Star Wars Nite

Don't froget about Hyperspace Mountain! Space Mountain gets a Star Wars overlay during Season of the Force! Hyperspace Mountain is our favorite version of the ride.

Certain attractions and lands may not be available during the event, including Critter Country and Matterhorn Bobsleds. Visit them before 8 p.m. if they are important to you. Matterhorn Bobsleds may be under refurbishment on select nights.

Star Wars Nite Merchandise

Purchase special event merchandise (limit one of each item per guest) usually at the following locations:

• Jewels of Bith (Behind the Millennium Falcon)
• Starcade
• Emporium

Merch is available early, even before 6 p.m. mix-in time, so arrive early and get your shopping out of the way before the party starts.

Don't froget to hop through the Candy Palace to see if there are any themed treats to take home and enjoy. Mommy Frog loved her Grogu apple last year. You can often find Grogu apples at Marceline's Confectionery in Downtown Disney on other days, but they are usually sold in the park only on Star Wars Nite. You may also buy food novelties, such as sippers.

Disney Citizen Watches

Find the time to hop by Emporium for these limited offerings.

Disney by Crislu Jewelry Trunk Show (7 p.m. to 1 a.m.)

Shop for jewelry and meet designer Amireh Parstabar at Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. You need an event wristband and credential to shop.

Pandora Disney Parks Collection

Magic Key Keepsake

Magic Key Holders can pick up a special trio of Star Wars buttons next to Hungry Bear Jamboree.

Tips for Star Wars Nite at Disneyland Park

Here are a few tips for Star Wars Nite:

• Arrive early to avoid long lines at parking and the park gate.
• Food service stops before the park closes to day guests at 8 p.m. but reopens pretty quickly with the After Dark menus. We suggest eating before party time.
• Mobile order food in advance of the party.
• Dress for the weather.
• Identify your must-do photo-ops or must-see characters and get in line early before the lines close (some may close early).
• Visit attractions before they close for the party between 6 and 8 p.m.
• Check restaurant and attraction closing times in the app. Some rides and restaurants close before the end of the night.
• Try to sleep in the next day if you can.
• Bring your lightsaber.
• If you want to purchase an inexpensive lightsaber, you might find one on a cart outside Galaxy's Edge (about $40) near the tunnel to Frontierland.
• If you also have a day ticket, you can check in for the event in the tunnel from Fantasyland to Galaxy's Edge.
