- I went to Star Wars Nite for the very first time! Star Wars Nite is a Disneyland After Dark event that is held various dates in April and May 2024. On event nights, Disneyland closes to regular guests at 8 PM. Star Wars Nite officially begins at 9 PM, but event ticket holders can access the park as early as 6 PM. The event runs until 1 AM.
During the event, you'll get access to exclusive Star Wars Nite foods, meet unique character only available during the event, and participate in fun fan meet-up opportunities, all while enjoying your favorite Star Wars music throughout the park.
Most rides are open during Star Wars Nite, though Rise of the Resistance does close early at 11 PM.

For someone who doesn't dress up, i think you did a great job with your cosplay/bound :)
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot.
Oh my goodness it was so crazy to see Chris Provost in this video! You to are my go to channels!!
I haven’t seen him since this night, but we usually cross paths occasionally. I’ll probably run into him on opening night for Oogie Boogie as I assume he’ll be there.
It was nice to see you at the park last night!
It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for saying hello!
Looks like a fun night. We enjoyed the event via your vlog 😀😊
Ps- thanks for visual of the inside of the Beignet 👍
So weird to see you walking around without the iconic Star Wars hat but I love the fit!
I got more helpful info from your video than anyone else's. Thanks!
My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon at Disney and we were also at the first Star Wars nite! We had a blast. We went to the parks that Saturday before and it poured down rain. We used all your genie+ tips that day and got on 13 rides in 6 hours! Your videos were such a lifesaver and made our trip so smooth! Thank you for all the tips and tricks!!!
FINALLY! You are the third vlogger I've checked and the ONLY one to actually tell us what events are going on. Others seem vague and babble on about the food, but duh! tell us about the events, character meets and photo ops. You did! Bravo! I'm gonna sub to your channel in gratitude for providing the content I actually want.
Kudos to Womping Wampa,lol! What a fun energy he gives off! That is someone I'd love to go to a Star Wars convention or event with.
David’s good fun. He does an awesome job with his outfits.
I try to approach these events from someone trying to plan their visit. Finding exact info online about who and where can be challenging as Disney itself is really vague about this stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and yes glad you in costume. I like how you said to say hi. I get very excited when I spot someone that I have seen their videos
Thank you! I went on Tuesday, and your video was so helpful!
Hope you had a good time!
@SoCalDisneyDad I had a wonderful time! My friend and I are already planning a trip for next year. We both enjoyed it immensely. We need to figure out when Spring Break is (to avoid it) and hoping that we can align vacations with Star Wars Nite again. But if not next year, there's always 2026 😁.
Looked so much fun, wish I was there!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Out of all the Disney TH-camrs that went to Star Wars night, y’all definitely dressed the best!
Thank you!
I was at SWN last night and I had the jalapeno/watermelon lemonade, which was awesome, and the walking taco (both at refreshment corner). Was surprised how spicy all the foods were! I wasn’t smart or quick enough to figure out how to get any of the other special foods. Most were sold out when I tried to get them I think. I still really enjoyed myself.
Looks like so much fun! I was in Disneyland 2 weeks ago with my son but I wish I could come back for Star Wars night. I live in BC, Canada. I priced it out just for fun and it would cost me about $2500 to come out for Star Wars night and one or 2 other park days...lol. Not happening but maybe one day!
Thank you for sharing! This was great! We are going 05/02 and can’t wait! Where did you get your saber only sheath …I need them! ❤
The Limited Edition one I purchased seems to be sold out, but he has a standard version available here:

The clip of you with the hood up was great!! Another fun and helpful video thank you
Just saw this! Man I'm so jealous, looks so fun! I've never gone to any of these nights. You guys both look awesome! I'm kinda shy to dress up but I think I would for one of these events!
I generally am as well. I joke that I am dressed up. I’m dressed up as “SoCal Disney Dad” 🤣
But I made an exception for this event. And OBB. But I didn’t dress up for Disney Channel Nite.
I haven't been to Disneyland in over 20 years and only could come to Star Wars Nite on April 16, 2024 because I was at a nearby conference. Worth the cost to attend because I wanted to enjoy the rides of my childhood with little to no wait. Cool tip for anyone going: If you want to do Savi's Workshop, it's open, but no reservations are accepted during the event; just walk up, they'll put your name on the list, tell you what time to come back, and you're in.
What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for everything you do! 🤗
Thank you!
The photo looks awesome!
Thank you!
Looks awesome! Love your videos:)
Thank you!
For an after hours event, Star Wars Nite would be one of the best. It looks like an absolute blast!
It is definitely the best of the Disneyland ones. I still think Oogie Boogie is the best overall.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Oogie Boogie is number on my wish list. Love the spooky season!
Thanks for covering this. I've always wondered if after hours events are worth it.
Yeah, they aren't. Friends and I did the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party ONCE. A bore and a disappointment and far too costly for what you get.
Thank you! Going to SWN next week, I can't wait!
Have fun!
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thanks!
I am so jelly I wish I could’ve went
Love the costume!! May the force be with you 🖖🏻
Thank you!
I’m going on April 30th, so excited!!
Hope you have a blast!
Traver, you looked amazing. Best dressed in my book. Sorry to Big Red Journeys. Star Wars night looks so much better than Disney Channel night. And I'm really not a Star Wars fan. The hamburger that you ate towards the end. I would eat that. I have tried the blue and green drinks. # no to both.
🤣 You and Amy are agreed with the Milk Stand.
I WANT MY FRITTER, I WANT MY FRITTER 😂😂😂😂
Awesome thanks. We are going in the 25th. Love that Endor picture.
That was the best photo op in my opinion. Really happy with how it turned out.
Heya! May I ask where you get your lightsaber sheath?
The Limited Edition one I purchased seems to be sold out, but he has a standard version available here:
www.etsy.com/listing/773652549/standard-lightsaber-blade-sheaths
This was a very educational video…Thank you! Will you do a full tour video of Knotts Berry farm anytime soon?
I haven’t been to Knott’s in two years. Might be time to take the family back for a visit, but I can’t promise any time super soon as we have a packed next 2 months.
@@SoCalDisneyDad it’ll be great if you can 😊 We haven’t been there in years either but we’ll probably get their annual passes instead of LEGOLAND this year since our kids are old enough for at least some rides and it’s cheaper than LEGOLAND 😊
These nights r so underwhelming to me id only get tix to ride rides quickly and to avoid the sun
The best one is Oogie Boogie, by far. At least I feel like I'm getting something for it. I come home with tons of candy, and there's a fun parade, and a villains walkthrough.
The Disneyland ones do feel a bit underwhelming, like they're mostly for rare characters and photo ops, and if those things don't interest you (they don't interest me), then it's kind of pointless.
3:29 Drippy!!
Did they not do fireworks? Or did I miss that? Loved the costume!
I heard they canceled that this year. I don’t know all the details.
Are you going to do a video of going to Wild Rivers waterpark this summer 🌞 ⛱️
I'd love to go again. I just doubt it'll be at the start of the season. But I'm sure we'll make a trip.
Great video! Would you be able to provide a link where you got your lightsaber case
The Limited Edition one I purchased seems to be sold out, but he has a standard version available here:
www.etsy.com/listing/773652549/standard-lightsaber-blade-sheaths
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thanks, for the information! Keep up the great work!
Trader Joe's has a great spreadable pimento cheese!
Hi Traver, great video! Are the characters still out in the park during normal hours (non starwars nites) ? We are travelling to Disney in 2 weeks from New Zealand (so during season of the force), but do not have tickets to star wars nite at this stage. We are really keen to try and see Darth Vader, Padme Amidala, C3PO, BB8 ... but not sure of our chances 🤔
Darth Vader is a Disney Visa cardholder only photo op. And that's if they're still doing it. I'm not even sure if they are. Amidala, 3PO, and BB8 are event exclusives.
The Star Wars characters you can meet on the regular are Kylo Ren, Rey, Chewbacca, Mando, Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and Fennec Shand. Occasionally R2D2 makes an appearance, but all the other Star Wars characters are event-only.
👍
Would it be worth going to the event for the short wait times if you’re not interested in the Star Wars stuff? Thank you for the video
That is definitely a strategy! Some people do just that.
Consider this: It costs $194 to go Disneyland on the busiest of days. If you don’t show up till 10 AM, and you leave by 10 PM, you’re there for 12 hours.
Depending on the date, Star Wars Nite can be “as little as” $159. Other events are even cheaper around $139.
You get 3 hours before the event, and 4 hours at the event with a total of 7 hours. But after 8 PM the regular guests are kicked out of the park. So it’s 5 hours of low wait times.
Those 5 hours you can accomplish way more than a full day at the parks, especially on a busier day. If you only care about the rides.
So it definitely can be a strategy to go only for the rides.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you for breaking that down.
Where did you get the light saber blade holder?
The Limited Edition one I purchased seems to be sold out, but he has a standard version available here:
www.etsy.com/listing/773652549/standard-lightsaber-blade-sheaths
Thank you so much! We Love your channel 😊
For the photo ops, do you need to get Genie+, or is that included with the After Dark pass?
The photos are included with the event. There is a Photopass QR code on your wristband.
@@SoCalDisneyDad - thank you!
I would like to know where I can order/purchase that custom sheath for the blade only. That would make it a lot easier to carry around.
The Limited Edition is sold out, but here is the standard. Just an FYI, it appears this is about to sell out as well. Lots of people have been asking me about it. 🤣
www.etsy.com/listing/773652549/standard-lightsaber-blade-sheaths
@@SoCalDisneyDad I recently got mine in the mail in brown, looks great and fits the blade perfectly in there.
Did they have light saber training for adults?
Disney wait times are up to the pre-show. They do not include the pre-show
Yes, they do. The wait times are until you get on the ride, not the pre-show. I’ve timed many a ride with pre-shows and it’s always to the ride.
If Rise of the Resistance says 45 minutes, it’s 25 minutes to Rey Room. Every single time. 20 minutes of preshows and you are on the ride at 45 minutes.
so from 6pm til 9pm can you still ride the regular rides until star wars nite begins? like at 6 when were let inside can i go and ride rise of the resistance or ride hyper spacemountain?
Yup. You have full reign of the park as any other guest starting 3 hours before the event. So 6 PM for this event.
Lah’mu burger looked yummy.
It was pretty good!
Did you see kanye west? lol
I did not. Lol. But I wasn’t really looking for him, though I did hear he was there.
Loved your costume!
Ok so I’m going for the first time next week. I don’t have a ticket to enter early, just for the event. What time would you say would be good to arrive at the front gate?
Also what time can you start ordering food, is it at 8pm?
Looks like so much fun! I can’t wait to go!
You can show up at 5:30 PM if you want to be a little early. Or just show up at 6 PM so you aren't just standing around. The line should move quickly.
You can order food whenever via mobile order. But the time window has to be after 8 PM for the event food to show up as available to order. Mobile ordering begins at 7 AM each day.
Green is king
🤮 😂
You look great!!
Thank you!
I’m going Thursday, but just got a ticket to the event. What time did people start lining up for the 6PM entrance?
I’m not positive, but about 30-45 minutes prior is a guess based on Oogie Boogie Bash that I’ve seen.
@@SoCalDisneyDad got it, where did you get the small carrying case for the “blade” part of your lightsaber?
@@joselucero368 The Limited Edition one I purchased seems to be sold out, but he has a standard version available here:
www.etsy.com/listing/773652549/standard-lightsaber-blade-sheaths
is it possible to ride hyper space mountain with a lightsaber??
You’d probably have to disassemble it, put the hilt in the storage bag on the ride, and hold the blade, but I don’t see why not. I rode Rise of the Resistance with one. Granted, it wasn’t a coaster. But it should be fine.
last year was miserable and too crowded, I wish they would charge more for tickets but sale less
I didn’t feel like it was too crowded on our visit. If we missed out on anything it was because we chose to do something else instead, not because of long lines or anything. But we also didn’t wait in any character lines.
What time did early check in start?
I’m not sure? I didn’t arrive until around 4 PM. I assume you’re meaning the in-park check-in we did by Space Mountain.
Regular check-in begins at 6 PM.
Dear sir. Can you please tell me you purchased your lightsaber sheath from I Agree with you not to have that big monstrosity that they sell
They don’t have the Limited Edition anymore, but here’s a link to the standard (and cheaper) option: www.etsy.com/listing/773652549/standard-lightsaber-blade-sheaths
If I see you I’ll say hello
Please do!
is this included in park ticket?
No. It’s an extra-ticketed event that costs between $159 and $179 depending on the date (there’s still some availability).
disneyland.disney.go.com/admission/events/
hey traver how come you don’t do lives anymore
They were never really my thing. Though I have been tossing around doing one again soon. Just as a “every so often” thing to allow for some Q&A
@@SoCalDisneyDad and also why did you stop doing the intro?
Were you able to mobile order before the event? And what time if you were able to?
Yes! I assume you can order them at 7 AM when mobile ordering opens up, but I placed them around Noon from home.
The items don’t appear on the mobile order menu until 8 PM as far as reservation windows go. So if you selected 7:45 PM to 8:00 PM, they wouldn’t be there, but would be on 8:00 PM to 8:15 PM.
Or should be anyway. It’s always subject to availability.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thanks so much! That’ll really help with my planning. It’s our first Disneyland after dark event and my son loves Star Wars so we’re trying to make the most of it!
So disappointed as to how little characters they have this year and how there are no new ones...
I can see that, though since this is the first one I've gone to, I didn't mind. But if I had gone to a previous one I'd be more tempted to compare.
Any Kanye footage ?
Nope. I’d heard he was there. But I didn’t see him.
going next month and by the look of it I will be very disappointed
It might seem a little underwhelming, but when you're there it still feels like there's plenty to do. I had fun, even though I'm not a huge photo op or character person. The in-person vibe is fun.
@@SoCalDisneyDad sorry, Disney def did the minimum
Lol, so over Darth Maul. Captain Phasma doesn't know she's dead...boo on the show...
Disneyland is no longer fun. its overcrowded not to mention expensive ( I can afford it so for me its not a problem but if you're on a budget its going to hard). young kids are standing in hot long crowded lines. Food is extremely lousy and here again expensive. I'll take my kids somewhere else... ABD= anything but disney
first to comment
You two look like you had a great time. 🤩 So glad you dressed up too! Kudos to David - costume was awesome!
Love the video as always! Thanks Traver!
Thank you!
