Hey there, hi there, Samantha, and welcome to planDisney!
What a wonderful way to celebrate your son's birthday by taking him to the Disneyland Resort! I remember taking my kids back when they were that age and some of my favorite pictures came from those visits.
Your information is indeed accurate for Disneyland Park because on those nights, they will be holding
Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nites and the Park will close early for the general public in order to accommodate the event. If you have a
Park Hopper ticket, however, you may simply walk across the Esplanade to finish the evening over at Disney California Adventure, which will remain open until its normal closing time!
I'm afraid that
Theme Park Tickets will not be discounted on those nights. You'll still be able to enjoy a full day of magic at Disneyland Park and don't forget that the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will be going on, so there's definitely plenty to see and do. Would your son enjoy a royal makeover at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique? It's a great way to make him feel even more special as he enjoys a day at the Parks. I also like to commemorate special occasions by having a portrait done by the caricature artist at the exit of Pirates of the Caribbean. It'll make for an unforgettable memory! And definitely grab him a
Complimentary Birthday button at Guest Services so that everyone can celebrate right along with him!
Samantha, I hope that this response clears things up for you and I wish your son a happy and magical birthday trip! Please return again if you have any further questions because we'd love to hear from you. You're always welcome at planDisney.
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
