Here’s everything you need to know about Disney Friends Dance Party during the 2026 Kids Rule Summer promotion at the Disneyland Resort.

About the Show

Taking place nightly from 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm, the Disney Friends Dance Party is aimed at the littles but everyone is welcomed to get into the beachy festivities which feature a dancing host who keeps the summer heat going with the help of a few Disney friends. Some of the friends you can expect to see joining include Chip & Dale with Clarice, Max, and Horace Horsecollar.

How to See It

Once the show kicks off, characters tend to arrive every 15 minutes or so and stay on the dance floor out for about 30 minutes so you get a an overlapping rotation of different characters all evening.
