Here’s ALL the Dining Details for the Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite Events!

January has been–and will continue to be–a busy month at the Disneyland Resort…and that’s putting it lightly. This month, a new location opened in Downtown Disney, a classic café closed for refurbishments, and a handful of key holder perks went into effect. And there’s still more to come, like the Lunar New Year Celebration kicking off on January 17th!

But there are two upcoming events only specific guests can take advantage of–the Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite events that launch on January 21st, and the 2025 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend racing off on January 30th. And more information was just released for the Sweethearts’ Nite events–take a look!

Sweethearts’ Nite Dining 

This year’s first round of Disneyland After Dark events, the Sweethearts’ Nite series, will take over Disneyland Park on January 21st, 23rd, and 28th, and February 4th, 6th, 9th, 11th, and 13th. If you haven’t bought your ticket yet, you’ll probably be heartbroken to hear the event has sold out. However, if you have secured a ticket, you’ll want to secure your dining package too!

The Disneyland Resort website has a “Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite Dining” page, dedicated to the six locations offering dining packages or special menus during the events. Two of the locations, Carnation Cafe and Plaza Inn, offer reservations, while the rest are walk-up only. To book your reservation at either of the two locations, click the “Check Availability” button…
