Don't see anything about Villains Nite (we went last year in March) or Star Wars night (not sure if advertised with these events, or separately)

Sweethearts Nite they've done a couple times and I enjoyed since you get the couples together not just the princesses who are always out anyway.

Princess Nite seems redundant right after Sweethearts but people love princesses. Would be great to get Giselle or other really rare princesses, but between the two, I'd opt for Sweethearts.

I'd expect we'll get at least one or two more - possibly one for summer - maybe May 4th & 5th for Star Wars? - and one for fall? But I don't know if they'd run a Villains Nite close to Oogie Boogie so maybe different theme?

Though Villains Nite was also fun and hope it returns.

I just don't see the value in these experiences when many of the park's marquee attractions do not run.

Throwback Nite sounds like they're trying to do their own Dapper Days event.

Star Wars Nite will no doubt be popular though.

Interestingly, while I believe it supposedly officially "sold out", there were tickets for sale at the park this week for a Sweethearts Nite event on the day of the event. Usually sold out means signs saying "tonight's event is sold out", not that there were tickets still available. Wonder if something happened or they just wanted to squeeze more people in?

Three cheers for Princess Nite excluding Rapunzel from the listed princesses that you can meet during the event, like how they ignored Punzie in most of the following where they give Merida more love than the lost princess of Corona:
-It's a Small World finale of the Main Street Electrical Parade
-Harmonious(even though she was originally set to be there, thanks to the now defunct Epcot Experience)
-The stained glass finale scene from Happily Ever After(despite "I See the Light" being one of the featured songs)
-The new-ish WDW version of Fantasmic(not counting the unchanged bubble scene)
-That episode of Proud Family: Louder and Prouder where the characters dress up as Disney characters
-Magic Happens Parade

Hip hip, yay..., Tokyo still has the most love for anything Tangled

You can see Rapunzel in Fantasmic and her show in the Royal Theatre. I’m pretty sure her and Flynn do meet and greets everyday too. That’s a lot more representation than most characters.

Here are all of the characters at Disneyland's After Dark event, Princess Nite! Most of them are meet and greets, so if you want a photo, we highly recommend prioritizing your list. The longest lines were for Princess Leia, and the Belle/Cinderella/ Aurora combination line. #disneyparks...
