We’re excited to share new details for the first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion, taking place at Disney California Adventure park June 23, 28, and 30, 2022.
That’s right! It’s almost time for the most epic throwback to your high school grad night! As we’ve previously shared, this separately ticketed Disneyland After Dark event is a reunion party celebrating past and present decades. We invite you to remember the fun, reunite with friends and get a little nostalgic. From entertainment experiences to unique cafeteria-inspired foods, park attractions access, usually with shorter wait times, and more, it is an evening of grad nights of yesteryears and today’s “Greatest Hits!”
New details:
Dance and Sing the Decades Away
Put on your dancing shoes and belt out your highest notes!

Savor Nostalgic Flavors

Mobile order is available at select locations, so don’t forget to download the Disneyland app in advance to mobile order many of these limited-time food and beverage offerings during the event!
Here are a few to look out for that I’m going to call “Most Likely to be Photogenic and Tasty!”
