So sad…no Marvel night again. I must be the only person out here who wants one…

I would love that one! I'm surprised they haven't done that yet.

Anyone know what time the park will close on party nights for regular guests ? Looks like 9pm , or did I hear 8pm somewhere ?

From DIsney ............
"Each Disneyland After Dark event begins with a three-hour pre-party mix-in at Disneyland park from 6 to 9 p.m. PT before the party officially begins."

We will be in the park during the first week of Sweetheart Nights in Jan , and this def. throws a wrench into our plans !

In the past, the park closed to regular guests at 8pm.

Bit disappointed they aren't doing the graduation after dark. My son was hoping to attend grad nights but his school isn't participating. So the next best thing would have been grad nite after dark.

Have they ever done that? I've only heard of grad nites. Not of any graduate themed after party for the general public.

They did that last year. It was called, "Grad Nite Reunion."

Ah! I remember now, wasn't that marketed for grown ups tho? Still, I can see why it would be the next best thing to use pp's words.

We'll be there for both pride nights and I'm so bummed our son likes to call it a night by 9pm! Definitely going to wear some Pride stuff to the parks those day though!

Does anyone know when these tickets usually go on sale? It's one of the Star Wars Nites (May 2) we're considering.

When I went in 2022 I bought the tickets on January 11. Last year I bought them on February 23. I haven't seen any announcements yet about when they go on sale for this year.

Question, how quickly do tickets for the Star Wars Nites sell out? Considering a trip at the end of April as we haven't been to Disneyland in 7 or 8 years, but if we go we want to attend a Star Wars Nite.

Last year most dates sold out within a day of going on sale to the public (there is usually a passholder presale 2 days earlier). There will be a virtual queue the morning they go on sale, and the wait can be hours long.

You should plan to buy them as soon as they're available. The tickets go fast.

I assume it's DL Passholder only? I'm a WDW AP.

I believe it’s DL only.

How do Early Entry/After Dark Parties effect the daily crowd experience? We will be there for the 2nd week of May staying at DHV and will not be attending the After Dark parties.

I don’t think you’ll see a big difference in crowds until the mix-in later in the day. Lots of people who do the event aren’t in the park until the party starts.

 

[ClaraOswald]

We were there during Sweetheart nights last year and didn't noticed an uptick in crowds until they started letting party guests in.

So, I didn't see anything about after dark events for DCA. Is that right? Only at DL? TIA
