Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite 2024 — The Character Sightings and Photo Ops

Love was once again in the air at Disneyland this week as the first Sweethearts’ Nites of 2024 were held (even earlier than usual). Part of the ongoing Disneyland After Dark after-hours ticketed event series, this year, a total of eight romance-themed evenings are planned. In addition to special food, merchandise, and entertainment, Sweethearts’ Nite also includes a number of special character appearances and photo opportunities.

On the other side of the park, the popular Space Couple returned to Tomorrowland for the event:

Meanwhile, there were plenty of characters out in Fantasyland, starting with Esmerelda and Phoebus:

Finally, at the Royal Ball, guests could spot a number of familiar (and perhaps less familiar faces) including Jasmine and Aladdin, Aurora and Prince Phillip, Rapuzel and Flynn; Drizella, Anastasia, and Lady Tremaine; Grand Duke, and Fairy Godmother.

In addition to the character meet and greets, special photo ops were also available throughout the park. These include displays themed to Luca:
