New Disney Merriest Nites After Hours Events Coming to Disneyland This Holiday Season
Walt Disney World might have Very Merriest After Hours this year but Disneyland isn’t going to be outdone as they have just announced new Disney Merriest Nites After Hours events coming for the 2021 holiday season!
Disney Merriest Nites is not one but actually six different themed parties for just one ticket! Mickey Mouse has been tapped to host the event and will be joined by some of his pals to help bring holiday magic to Disneyland Park on five nights this holiday season.


The Disneyland Resort will once again transform into a merry and magical place as guests return to enjoy their holiday season from Nov. 12, 2021, through Jan. 9, 2022. Many beloved traditions return providing cheerful entertainment, yuletide treats, specialty merchandise, sparkling décor and seasonal transformations of select attractions. (Disneyland Resort)
The magic of Disney Merriest Nites starts as soon as you step foot on Main Street U.S.A. in Disneyland Park! Guests will be welcomed by Mickey Mouse and will spot Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and their pals caroling in a coach. And, since it’s our favorite Muppet characters, be prepared for some shenanigans and maybe a chicken or two!
At New Orleans Square, Princess Tiana will be greeting all of her fans with a party inspired by her home down in the Louisiana boyou.

Over in Frontierland, Miguel from Coco will be on hand to wish a “Feliz Navidad.” Guests are also invited to dance along to the beat during a happening dance-filled fiesta!
But, there’s more! In Adventureland, Guests will be hosted by Lilo & Stitch. There is also a wintertime celebration in Fantasyland hosted by Queen Elsa and Buzz Lightyear will take the holiday season to new heights in Tomorrowland!

Guests attending Merriest Nites events will also be treated to “enhanced entertainment” including exclusive photo backdrops and character sightings and holiday-themed specialty food and beverage offerings.
What I am most looking forward to the most about the Very Merriest Nites events at Disneyland Park is the crowds! Since only a limited number of tickets are being sold, Guests will be able to enjoy most of the Park’s attractions with little to no wait times including “it’s a small world” Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday. “A Christmas Fantasy” Parade will also be offered to all Guests attending these events!
