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!
