Disneyland is throwing a ball for princesses everywhere, and you’re invited.
We just experienced a magical Disneyland After Hours event: Princess Nite! Follow along with us to dance the night away with some of the most beloved Disney Princesses at this exclusive special ticketed event.
That’s right! Princess Nite has RETURNED as a Disneyland After Hours event! Guests were able to grab tickets for this event as early as December, so it’s built up quite the anticipation. Here’s a look at everything there is to see and do while you’re here!
Entry into Disneyland begins as early as 6PM but the event will officially take place from 9PM to 1AM.
When we arrived, we first had to check out the exclusive merchandise for the evening! We found tons of cool options, including these t-shirts!
