The Paint the Night parade at Disneyland typically lasts about 17 minutes in duration. However, if considering the entire parade route from start to finish, it takes about 40 minutes to pass a particular spot along the route since the parade keeps moving without stopping. This means you experience the whole parade flow for approximately 40 minutes at a given viewing point as the floats and performers pass by.

Currently, during the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration in 2025, the parade runs twice nightly with show times at 8:50 pm and 10:50 pm.
