Have you ever attended a Disneyland After Dark event?

These special ticketed events take place AFTER park closing and usually revolve around a specific theme, offering exclusive entertainment, character meets, snacks, and more to guests who attend. Well, now, Disneyland has announced some special events that’ll be coming in 2023, and there’s a brand NEW one joining the bunch.
Disney has announced that Disneyland After Dark events will be BACK in 2023!
Thus far, they’ve announced 2 specially-themed events: Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite and Disneyland After Dark: Princess Nite. Princess Nite is brand new!

A ticket to a Disneyland After Dark event gets guests into a private party at Disneyland Park from 9PM to 1AM, as well as entry into Disneyland at 6PM — three hours before the party officially starts. Attendees get unlimited downloads of all PhotoPass photos taken during the party plus free souvenirs, including an event guide map.

Here are details about both events.
