Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite is a special hard-ticketed event at Disneyland that celebrates all that is Star Wars. Star Wars Nite has become an annual tradition at the Disneyland Resort in recent years. It has plenty of memorable moments throughout the event. Guests can meet their favorite Star Wars characters, try Star Wars-inspired foods, event-specific merchandise, and entertainment offerings.
For guests attending Star Wars Nite, it’s always a good idea to have a loose plan in mind ahead of arrival. Make this plan flexible based on what has longer lines and what ends up looking like the most fun. Sometimes some of the offerings become incredibly popular and can end up meaning a longer wait for the experience. Below is a look at the entertainment offerings for this year’s Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite:
A Gathering of the Resistance with Rey
Guests are encouraged to bring their lightsabers to the area around the Millennium Falcon for this beautiful moment. This is incredibly popular, and the area around the Millennium Falcon can get packed quickly! Be sure to arrive early to get a decent spot for this moment.
