The Proud Family cast members Kyla Pratt and Tommy Davidson stepped out with their children for Penny Proud’s Disneyland debut during Disneyland After Dark: Disney Channel Nite on April 12, 2026.
Pratt, who voiced Penny in the animated series, attended with her daughters. Davidson, who voiced Oscar Proud, brought his daughters and son.
Davidson later shared snapshots from the event on Instagram. In a video clip, he could be heard shouting “Truudy” at the Penny Proud character.
He captioned the post, “TRUUUDDY!!!!! @theproudfamily at @disneyland for a Special Disney after Dark Disney Channel Edition! HONORED to see PENNY PROUD and all the fans with my own PROUD FAMILY,” he wrote.
Pratt also reflected on the experience and confirmed the debut. “Penny Proud officially made her DISNEYLAND debut April 12, 2026 during Disney Channel Night at DISNEYLAND park!” she wrote. “Knowing how much this show means to so many people and seeing a character i have grown up playing be acknowledged in this way is an unreal feeling.”
She also spoke about creator Bruce W. Smith and what it meant to see his work recognized in that setting. “Watching @brucealmighteee witness a character he created being celebrated at this magnitude was heartwarming,” Pratt shared. “I love yall and love being apart of this journey. Thank you.”
The Proud Family premiered in 2001 and ran for two seasons before ending in 2005. The series returned in 2022 with The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, and brought back several original cast members. A fourth season is expected later this year.
Guests visiting Disneyland on April 16 can still see Penny in the park, where she appears alongside other Disney Channel characters for photos.
It’s not known whether Penny will remain at Disneyland Resort or if her appearance was limited to Disney Channel Nite.
