Shelli and Jim! Thank you for coming to planDisney with your question - I just wish I had better news for you two!
Based on the dates of your arrival, I'm guessing the
Disneyland After Dark event you're pining after is Sweethearts' Nite. Tickets for
Sweethearts' Nite did go fast and unfortunately all the dates for this special event are sold out, and there is no waitlist available.
The good news is that you still have an upcoming visit to the Happiest Place on Earth on the books! Not only that, but you'll also be there during my very favorite celebration -
Lunar New Year in California Adventure Park! And that is, indeed, something to celebrate! Don't miss the bright and beautiful
Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession that travels from Hollywood Land to Paradise Gardens. My favorite spot to view the procession, with plenty of spacious seating, is across from
The Little Mermaid attraction. Check the Entertainment Schedule in the
Disneyland app for performance times.
Or, if you happen to find yourself in Disneyland Park on February 8 or 15, you won't want to miss a resort tradition for more than a decade -
Celebrate Gospel, an uplifting concert with performances by community choirs from across Southern California and award-winning artists. A few minutes in Fantasyland Theatre with these powerful tunes, will make you forget all about wanting to go to the After Dark event. Sweethearts' Nite, who?
Lastly, if you have your
heart set on pink and red, keep a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog. Any day now we should be getting a peek at all the delicious treats coming to Disneyland in February for Valentine's Day in their annual Foodie Guide. Oh boy! I hope this news is helping your broken heart!
So, Shelli and Jim, although it seems attending Sweethearts' Nite may not be in the cards for you this year, the joy of being with the ones you love, in a place you love, is all the magic you need. I wish you both much love in the new year.
