Disneyland After Dark returns in 2024!
In 2018, Disneyland introduced special after-hours themed events called Disneyland After Dark. The themed events were huge hits, selling out quickly and bringing in a ton of extra revenue for the Resort. Plus the events give us something that is much needed at the Resort – an experience created for the adult Disney fan.
These events aren’t officially marketed as events for grown-ups, but let’s face it … a late night, after-hours party until 1am? With themes such as Sweethearts Nite and Pride Nite? It sounds like a good excuse for adults to get out of the house, leave the kids with a sitter, and enjoy Disneyland without the massive crowds.
The events have been incredibly popular so it’s no surprise Disneyland After Dark is back again this year and the number of event nights have increased!
