If you were hoping to snag a ticket for Disneyland’s 2025 Sweethearts’ Nite, you’re out of luck. The romantic event, held on select nights from late January to mid-February, has officially sold out. The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise—after all, these exclusive after-hours events are known for their unique perks, from character experiences to shorter wait times on popular attractions.
Running from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Sweethearts’ Nite lets guests soak in Disneyland’s charm after dark, complete with early park access starting at 6 p.m. Whether it’s the themed photo ops, heart-shaped treats, or magical cavalcades, it’s no wonder this event draws such an enthusiastic crowd each year.
What Makes Disneyland After Dark So Popular?
Disneyland After Dark events have become a fan-favorite way to experience the park in new and exciting ways. 90s Nite offers a nostalgic trip back to an era of scrunchies, mixtapes, and boy bands, while Star Wars Nite brings the world of Jedi and Sith to life with immersive character encounters and themed food offerings. Pride Nite, with its dazzling performances and inclusive vibe, has quickly become one of the most anticipated events in the After Dark lineup.
These limited-capacity events make guests feel like VIPs, offering lower wait times, exclusive parades, and fireworks shows that aren’t part of regular park programming. It’s not just about the attractions—it’s about the ambiance and the chance to experience Disneyland in a whole new light.
More Ways to Enjoy Disneyland
Beyond After Dark events, Disneyland offers year-round seasonal celebrations that draw fans from around the world. The Lunar New Year festivities at Disney California Adventure are known for their vibrant cultural performances and food, while the Halloween season transforms the resort with spooky decor, costumed characters, and the fan-favorite Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.
During the winter holidays, Disneyland is a sight to behold. The festive decorations, seasonal snacks, and heartwarming shows create a truly magical experience, with “it’s a small world” Holiday and A Christmas Fantasy Parade serving as must-see attractions.
What’s Next for 2025?
If you missed out on Sweethearts’ Nite tickets, don’t worry—there are still more After Dark events to come. Star Wars Nite and Pride Nite will offer new chances to experience Disneyland under the stars, though tickets for these events are expected to sell out quickly. And for fans of 90s nostalgia, tickets for 90s Nite are still available as of now.
One thing is certain: Disneyland’s themed events provide a one-of-a-kind way to experience the magic. Whether you’re there for the nostalgia, the romance, or a galaxy far, far away, Disneyland After Dark events are worth the hype—and the wait.
