Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite

If there’s one thing we love sharing, it’s special events at the Disney Parks! We know you loved reading about our Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite experience, so here’s the next special ticket event you should add to your Disneyland Bucket List – Throwback Nite.

 

WHAT IS THROWBACK NITE?

Throwback Nite is a special ticketed Disneyland After Dark event on select nights at Disneyland Park. Once the park closes for the evening, Throwback Nite guests get to enjoy to the park as it takes a trip back to yesteryear. Throwback Nite runs from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM, but guests with a Throwback Nite ticket can enter Disneyland Park as early as 6:00 PM on their party night! This year tickets are $129 for April 18 and $145 for April 20 for guests ages 3 and up.

Here are Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite dates for the 2023 season:

  • April 18, 2023
  • April 20, 2023

While there were only two dates for guests to enjoy this year, we’re hoping for an influx of dates like we saw with Sweethearts’ Nite earlier this year!

 

THROWBACK NITE ACTIVITIES

Spending time at Disneyland Park after hours is only one of the many perks of this Disneyland After Dark event! Throwback Nite also features Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks that debuted at Disneyland in 1958, specialty snacks, and rare character experiences you won’t want to miss.
