Hi Briana! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
You have quite a day and night of magic ahead of you! With such a long day of fun just around the corner, be sure to pace yourself, maybe enjoy a sit-down meal at a Table Service
dining location to rest your feet, wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and drink plenty of
water. I always bring a refillable water bottle with me to the parks, which I keep tucked in my bag. I want you to be in top form for the Disneyland After Dark fun.
You won't have to leave and reenter the park to check in for the evening. If you're enjoying Disneyland Park prior to
Sweethearts' Nite, be on the lookout for a check-in location starting around 6:00 PM Pacific Time. You should always check with a Cast Member about where to go because check-in locations can change from night to night. But they often set up to check Guests in near the entrance on Main Street, U.S.A. You'll be given your credentials when you check-in. Those credentials will identify you as a party-goer, as Cast Members begin closing the park to non-ticket holders.
I hope you have a night to remember!
Elizabeth
