Hi there, Jazmin!
Welcome to planDisney. I am glad you sent your question to us!
I have good news! Guests do not need regular theme park tickets to attend a
Disneyland After Dark event, such as
Sweethearts' Nite. In the past, Disneyland After Dark tickets included admission to Disneyland Park 3 hours before the party began, and park reservations were not needed. I like that Disneyland After Dark events offer Guests opportunities to enjoy exclusive experiences, meet with unique Disney Characters, and spend less time waiting in lines at most attractions in that theme park. My family had a blast at the Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite a couple of years ago!
We don't yet know if Sweetheart's Nite will take place in 2025, but given its popularity, I feel optimistic! Last year,
Disneyland After Dark dates were announced in early December for 2024 events. I am eagerly awaiting details about the 2025 events! Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and Disneyland social media pages for future announcements.
In the meantime, you may want to visit Disneyland during this most festive time of year! The theme parks are extra magical during
the holidays. I like grabbing a Hot Cocoa and Mickey Gingerbread from
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe and strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. To save time, I mobile order my snacks ahead of time on the
Disneyland mobile app.
Jazmin, thank you again for contacting planDisney. I hope that Disneyland After Dark: Sweetheart's Nite takes place next year!
Happy holidays!
Jen
