Happiest Greetings on Earth, Jasmine! Thank you so much for sharing your question with planDisney. It is always such an honor to help Guests like you plan their magical moments at Disneyland Resort!
Your question really resonated with me because I have taken my preschool-age daughter to a Disneyland After Dark event in the past, and although she gave it her best effort, she certainly wasn't able to stay up until the 1:00 A.M. closing hour! The
Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts' Nite tickets are special event tickets and do not require a separate theme park reservation. I confirmed with a Cast Member today that Guests who hold a special event ticket may leave and re-enter Disneyland Park without any problem during the after-hours event. So, it sounds like you can rest assured that the fun will still be there for you to enjoy when you return to the park!
I hope you're getting excited for all the limited-time event offerings during Sweethearts' Nite, Jasmine! One of my favorite
sights during last year's event was the
glowing projections on Sleeping Beauty Castle and one of my favorite
bites on the Sweethearts' Nite menu was the Chocolate Strawberry-stuffed Croissant. You can find it, and lots of other
special event treats at Jolly Holiday Café and Bakery!
I'm wishing you an absolutely memorable time with your loved ones at Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts' Nite, Jasmine! Please feel welcome to come back to
planDisney if we can help with any other questions in the meantime.
Love is an open door,
Tishra
