Disneyland After Dark is Back with More ‘Nites’ of Fan-Favorites for the Winter and Spring 2022 Events

Guess what, Disneyland fans?! Disneyland After Dark events are returning to the Disneyland Resort in 2022! We’re thrilled to bring back Sweethearts’ Nite, Villains Nite and Star Wars Nite, offering more nights than ever before of each of these

The additional $66 fee in order to exchange your 2020 tickets to Star Wars Nite for the Friday date is scummy. That's about as much as I can bring myself to care about these "nites."

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

I'm stupidly tempted by the Villains night. But I'm irritated they're putting those on sale at the same time as the Star Wars nights to make getting through for tickets even more difficult.

Will there be cardboard cutout photo ops with hour long lines? If so this event is a steal! #magical

In all seriousness, how long do you think it will take before Disneyland closes daily year round at 6pm for regular guests to support these "events". I see it happening within the next few years.

I don’t get it. Then again I’m not a meet n greet or photo op kind of guy. The only thing that appeals to me are things like the Mark Twain cruise with a jazz band or very short lines for rides but even then I’ve been on them countless times and the up charge isn’t worth it. If they tried to recreate an old timey Date Night at Disneyland I’d be interested. Not sure if that’s what they re going for with SweetHearts Night.

I think they're going for a Date Nite-esque vibe, yes, but they're treating it like any other party which makes it feel tacky. I'd be more interested if they tried reviving the Carnation Plaza Gardens swing dancing.

Of course it's scummy.
It's 'Order 66' !

Emperor Palpatine was not a very nice guy.

I think they're going to set the pricing for that particular date $66 higher than the others. Similar to how they did the Ooogie Boogie Bash pricing, with certain days higher than others. They had Saturday nights at $169, while the early Tuesdays were only $114.

That being the case, I see nothing wrong with them charging the difference for what they consider a premium night, different than what was originally paid for.

 

[DLR92]

I’m not interested

 

[AFriedrich86]

I for one, am so excited! My husband surprised me with a trip for our anniversary which happens to fall on same day as a Sweethearts Nite event! We’re more about strolling Main Street and people watching anyways

 

[Harleygirl]

As someone who's interested and finally able to go to a Star Wars night, any tips on getting tickets? I'm not interested in stupid cardboard cut outs, I just want access to rides, the cantina, and walking around Disney at a possibly less busy time.

Honestly just show up at opening for Disneyland or if you are a late riser stay till closing.

Before 1130am and after 9pm are dead any day I've gone.

You mentioned yourself you aren't into cardboard cutouts, so it makes sense to not bother with this event.

 

[Harleygirl]

My husband likes to dress up and as he can actually wear a costume for this, is a big selling point for us going and it being "themed" since we like Star Wars. That's really our biggest draw.

 

[Tha Realest]

Does anyone know when these tickets go on sale? Looking at one of the Villains nights but unsure when it opens for sale, other than tomorrow (also no clear indications as to what attractions are offered and such, but oh well)

 

[AJFireman]

I asked when I exhanged my Star Wars tickets and no time was known. I called the ticket number today as well and she stated they were not given a time either

As for rides for Villains the website only says no Grizzly River Run but more could be added.

 

[AJFireman]

After many error messages this morning for all in the last hour. Tickets are now on sale and can enter the queue

 

[Tha Realest]

I'm in queue hell.

I did get a Genie+ notice pop up saying I can purchase a LL to in turn purchase tickets for $18 per ticket. (kidding)

First photos/videos from Sweethearts Nite are trickling in:










Mostly the same things as 2020 but with characters being socially distanced from guests and each other. Some design treatments (particularly with the castle) are baffling. Nice to see entertainment like the band still happens at DL but wish it weren't paywalled.

 

[CaptinEO]

This whole account makes the event look like a disaster.

It's amazing Disney found people willing to pay the price of a Full Day Ticket for a 4 hour event where you wait in line for cardboard cutout photos.

 

[TP2000]

Last night there was a burst of fireworks on the horizon from Disneyland. It didn't look like a normal show, it was only a minute or two of fireworks over the Castle. Was that it? The wind was calm last night, so I doubt it was a mid-show cancellation.
