How will Sweetheart nights change crowd levels?

[aebeauregard]

Will the Sweetheart nights have an affect on the normal crowd levels in the parks during the day? I was planning to be in DCA on the 23rd (no park hopper). Will DCA be busier than normal because people will avoid Disneyland Park with Sweethearts Night starting at 6pm? Anyone have any opinions?

Most of the day will be regular crowds, but you're right that people will be heading to DCA when Sweethearts night starts at 6. You'll have plenty of time to get things done before then, though.

After Dark events start at 9pm. (I think the park closes at 8?) Only OBB starts at 6.

From the website:

"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."

Yes, this means if you are at DL that day without a ticket for After Dark, you have until 9pm before you have to leave the park. After Dark ticket holders can enter as of 6pm.

Oh right. Thanks for clarifying.
