Bright suns, Christopher!
We're so happy you stopped by planDisney on your way to the galaxy far, far away. I'm guessing you may have tickets to
Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite either tonight (May 4th) or May 6th, so let's kick it into lightspeed and get you an answer to your question!
Your access to the parking benefit that's included with your
Magic Key is available, provided the date of the event does not fall on a blackout date for your particular key. I'd recommend taking a look at the
Magic Key Park Reservation Availability Calendar to double-check the availability for your key. I can see that May 4th is only open for Inspire Key Holders—all other keys would not have access to the parking benefit that day. May 6th is not a blackout date for any of the keys, so if that's your party night, you should be all set no matter what!
Now that we've gotten that sorted, it's time to tap into the force and get excited about your evening in the galaxy. While the galactic festivities don't kick off until 9:00 PM, your party ticket grants you admission to Disneyland Park as early as 6:00 PM to enjoy some of your favorite attractions and experiences before the Resistance and First Order take over. I highly recommend using some of this time to eat dinner and scan through the
event guide map that you will receive when you check in and earmark some of your must-do experiences. Once the clock strikes 9:00 PM, you will want to focus on all the exclusive offerings only available during this event! If you have your heart set on a particular character meet and greet (I'm looking at you Han Solo and Princess Leia!), some of those can be quite popular, as you can imagine. I'd recommend heading to their meeting spot 30-45 minutes ahead of the posted time to be one of the first in line. If you're just attending for the vibes and a race through
Hyperspace Mountain, my planDisney pals and I had a blast hopping into the
themed photos, which generally had a very reasonable wait time, if any at all!
Christopher, I sure hope this helped plan your evening at
Star Wars Nite! If you have any more questions, please come back to see us again soon here at
planDisney.
May the magic be with you,
Tara
