Hey there, hi there, ho there, you’re as welcome as can be to planDisney, Mary!
I’m so excited for you to attend
Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite tomorrow evening! I followed along as some of my favorite Disney Instagrammers attended the first event last night, and it looks amazing! From the delicious treats to the adorable photo opportunities to the magical entertainment and fireworks, you’re going to have a blast!
It sounds like you’re also hoping to visit
Disney California Adventure Park tomorrow. So, here’s how your special event ticket works for Sweethearts’ Nite – your ticket allows you to enter
Disneyland Park as early as 5:00 PM for an early “mix-in” to the park. Disneyland Park closes to regularly-ticketed Guests at 7:00 PM, and then the party technically begins at 8:00 PM and goes until Midnight. This ticket doesn’t allow entrance into Disney California Adventure Park, and unfortunately, it can’t be upgraded to a Park Hopper, either. However, you can still
purchase a separate ticket for the day that would allow you to enter Disney California Adventure Park. You’ll want to
check the park reservation availability first before purchasing your ticket, just to make sure there’s availability for tomorrow.
You could either purchase a One Park Per Day ticket just for Disney California Adventure Park, or you could purchase a Park Hopper ticket that would allow you to go back-and-forth between both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. My recommendation would be to opt for the One Park Per Day ticket so you can enjoy Disney California Adventure Park until 5:00 PM, then you can head over to Disneyland Park to “mix-in” early for Sweethearts’ Nite. Just keep in mind that
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Critter Country, and Mickey’s Toontown won’t be available during the event, so you'll want to head to those spots before the party starts if they're on your "must-do" list.
I recommend checking out this special
Foodie Guide to Valentine’s Day 2022 before your visit tomorrow. Just scroll down the post until you get to the “Disneyland Resort” section, and look for the Sweethearts’ Nite section for special treats that will only be available during the event! Plan ahead by
downloading the Disneyland app and
placing mobile orders for the treats you’re most excited to try first thing tomorrow morning – this way you can avoid some of the longer lines for these coveted Valentine’s Day treats!
I hope this helps you plan your day tomorrow, Mary! Wishing you a romantic, magic-filled day and night at the Happiest Place on Earth!
