We're at the First Night of Disney Merriest Nites!

It’s officially the holiday season, and Disney Merriest Nites is kicking off its first event of the season in Disneyland!

And, we’re here to give you a look at all the eats, merchandise, entertainment, and more that you can find around the event! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive on in!

Merriest Nites Pricing and Dates

Disney Merriest Nites is a separate limited-ticketed after-hours event at Disneyland Park that runs from 8PM to midnight on select nights. The sold-out event is set to take place tonight, November 11th, as well as taking place on November 16th, and 30th, and December 7th and 9th.

Tickets for the event started at $165, giving access to SIX holiday parties in one, with different sections of the park celebrating in different ways! Mickey will be on Main Street, U.S.A. to welcome guests along with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the other Muppets who are ready for a holiday sing-along.

Start of the Night

The separate ticket for Merriest Nights gives guests entrance into Disneyland starting at 5PM, with the party officially starting at 8PM. When we got to the entrance around 4:30PM, we were met with an already large group of excited guests!

All six nights for the event are sold out, with a sign at the entrance confirming that tonight’s event had no availability.

Park Map & Lanyard

Once inside, we were given a park map that gave an overview of everything that would be available throughout the night.

The map showed a full look at the park…

…a list of exclusive snacks…

…a list of attractions that are available during the event, a peek at specialty merchandise…

…a look at the entertainment and photo-ops…

…and more!

Along with the park map, we also got a Christmas lights lanyard. How cute is that?

Merchandise

During the event, you have the chance to buy a variety of exclusive merchandise.
