Hi there, Lupie! Welcome to planDisney. How exciting that you'll be attending
Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites! This special event is a fantastic way to celebrate Disneyland history in a truly nostalgic and immersive way.
This throwback celebration lets you relive cherished memories through entertainment, beloved characters, and delicious treats inspired by seven decades of Disney magic. You can dance the night away at themed parties like the neon-filled Videopolis Dance Party at Tomorrowland Terrace or join in on a lively line-dancing celebration at the Golden Horseshoe.
The event also features rare and beloved Disney character encounters, immersive "Step into the Scene" photo opportunities, custom projections honoring 70 years of Disneyland magic, and the opportunity to shop for event-themed merchandise while enjoying specialty treats and beverages available for purchase.
Your event ticket includes admission to Disneyland Park as early as 6:00 P.M., giving you 3 extra hours in the park before the party officially begins on your valid event date. You won't need a theme park reservation to enter Disneyland at 6:00 P.M. or later. If you'd like to visit Disneyland earlier in the day or head to
Disney California Adventure, a separate park ticket and theme park reservation will be required.
When I've attended special ticketed events myself, I've found those extra hours to be the perfect time to get settled, grab a quick bite, and enjoy a few attractions before the party begins. I also love using that time to explore
Downtown Disney. From browsing shops like
World of Disney to playing with my son in the grassy area near the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage, it's a fun and relaxing way to ease into the evening. My family always finds a Downtown Disney visit just as magical as time spent inside the parks.
Lupie, thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. I hope this information helps you make the most of your upcoming trip. From entertainment to treats and everything in between, it's such a special time to visit. If you have any additional questions along the way, planDisney is always here to help!
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
Bev
