The Entertainment, Characters, Dining, And More From The Upcoming “Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite”

Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite is set to take those with their specially ticketed admission to a Disneyland inspired by the debonair days of the ‘50s and ‘60s in a special after hours event on April 18th and 20th. We are learning more about the offerings that are coming to the event, helping guests stroll down memory lane and relive the park’s classic past with music, entertainment and characters from the early years of the over 65 year old park.

Ticketholders are allowed to mix in with regular park guests at 6:00 PM before the event begins at 9:00 PM (ends at 1:00 AM). Those with Magic Keys are also able to head to a special area near Pooh Corner in Critter Country during the event, where they can pick up a special keepsake from the event. Note that the Magic Key holder must be present, limit one per Magic Key holder while supplies last.
