  • DescenDANCE: A villain-kid-themed party along the Rivers of America.

  • The Food: Disney is leaning into the theme with “Loaded Dino Nuggies” and a brand-new Ice Cream Naco (a nod to Kim Possible).

Star Wars Nite: The Force Returns

Fans of a galaxy far, far away will see the return of the “March of the First Order,” featuring Captain Phasma patrolling Tomorrowland for Resistance spies. You might also catch a glimpse of Darth Maul at the Tomorrowland Terrace or catch a set from Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes (The Cantina Band).

New Galactic Eats:

  • Pizza Five-Blossom Bread: Debuting at Oga’s Cantina.

A Bonus Treat: 70 Years of Favorites

Disneyland also shared a sneak peek at the 70 Years of Favorites event taking place March 3 and 5. The standout feature will be “Sounds of Magic,” a riverfront serenade. This show will feature live vocalists performing medleys from retired fan-favorite shows, including Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee and Frozen – Live at the Hyperion.

Ticket Sale Timeline: Mark Your Calendars

Demand is expected to be sky-high, so fans should prepare for the virtual queue early. Tickets go on sale to the general public no earlier than 9 a.m. PT on Thursday, Feb. 5.

However, Magic Key holders get a head start with two exclusive pre-sale windows:

  • Tuesday, Feb. 3 (9 a.m. PT): Pre-sale opens for Inspire Key holders.
  • Wednesday, Feb. 4 (9 a.m. PT): Pre-sale opens for all Magic Key holders.

Disneyland After Dark events are more than just a party; they offer a “mix-in” period that lets you maximize your time in the park. Each ticket includes:

  • Early Admission: Enter Disneyland Park three hours before the official party start time.
  • Disney PhotoPass: Unlimited digital downloads of all photos taken during the event.
  • Commemorative Swag: A themed credential and event guide map.
