The Disneyland After Dark Nites are specialty ticketed events at the Disneyland Resort, at which Guests can visit the Park after hours to experience their favorite attractions, rare character meet-and-greets, exclusive food and drink offerings, unique entertainment, and more. The events are a massive hit with Guests, who get to experience the Happiest Place on Earth in a completely new way with unique theming. In fact, they’re so popular that the most recent themed Nite, Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts Nite, sold out in under two weeks.
