Sweethearts’ Nite
Sweethearts’ Nite is an exciting ticked event that is exclusive to Disneyland. This event runs throughout various nights of January and February from 9pm to 1am. Guests who purchase a ticket to this event can enter the park 3 hours ahead of time around 6pm. The cost for this event varies but starts at $149 per ticket. Sweethearts’ Nite allows guests to stay late and play at the park while enjoying a less-crowded Disneyland. Attractions are open and ready to enjoy for little to no wait at all. Exclusive entertainment plays throughout the night like the Sweethearts Cavalcade featuring some of your favorite characters, the Royal Ball where guests are invited to dance with their love, and the “Our Love Is Out of This World” Dance Party featuring Stitch and Angel. Rare characters can be spotted like Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood, and Constance Hatchaway. Party exclusive treats can be enjoyed, and themed photo opportunities are set up throughout the park. This ticketed event is the perfect night for you and your sweetheart to enjoy Disneyland together.
Enjoy a Romantic Meal
If you didn’t get tickets to Sweethearts’ Nite then don’t worry! There are still plenty of other ways to enjoy Valentine’s Day at the parks. A romantic meal is a great way to spend time with one another during your trip and enjoy a quiet moment. There are several table-service restaurants throughout the park to choose from. Some of our favorite romantic spots include Blue Bayou Restaurant which is uniquely themed as a restaurant on the Louisiana bayou and gives guests a view of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.
Stay DVC
Staying at a DVC resort is the perfect way to elevate your romantic getaway. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel have luxury DVC villas to accommodate your needs. Stay in a studio, 1-bedroom, or multi-bedroom villa and experience all that these deluxe resorts have to offer. With websites like DVC Shop you can save money by renting DVC points, giving you deluxe accommodations for a moderate price!
