Smile How late have you stayed?

Other than while working, What is the latest that you have stayed at Disneyland?

Last time i went (which was unfortunatly Jan 08), i was there till like 1:00am and it was beautiful. I think it was one of the coolest experiences, since it was lit up due to the christmas decorations, and no one was there, and it was just amazing.

What are your experiences after dark?

Re: How late have you stayed?

Disneyland after dark is the BEST time!!!


We're constantly closing down the Park. Some of our best days there have been from opening til closing. I yearn for the days when it stayed open until 1am...

Re: How late have you stayed?

My latest experience occurred after getting off a guest control shift and rushing into the gates as a guest at 11:30. After getting in Alice, Astro Orbitor, Buzz and Space before closing, I camped out on a curb on Main Street and people-watched until right before one. It was wonderful!

I always stay until closing or later (finishing up on rides/shopping haha).

Re: How late have you stayed?

I've stayed a little past midnight, but that's about it. I have very limited interest in shopping, and I typically have spent fourteen hours walking around in the park by that time, so I'm about ready to go home.

I stayed all night in Disneyland during the official grand opening of DCA. It was c-c-c-c-c-cold! People were in good spirits and joking around all night, though. It was terrific having my parents with me during that trip. I was working for a congressman at the time, and had an official press kit.

Re: How late have you stayed?

We have stayed til the Security Officers escorted us to the gate....well not exactly escorted, but they would walk behind us slowly and when we were the last ones out..they closed the gate. :-)

Re: How late have you stayed?

We stay, every single trip, until Main Street closes. We only get to go every 1 1/2 years so we get our moneys worth out of it. The latest ever was 1:25am. Main Street closed at 1am, but the CM at the Emporium and us were having a really great conversation about the giant Castle snowglobe in there. He was really excited to show off how it works and we were just as excited to see it all. None of us realized the time and we apologized profusely when we did, but all the Cast Members were really excited that we were so excited about something so little.

Re: How late have you stayed?

Once I stayed until like 12:25. It was my friend's last day as a cast member. He was a Skipper on the Jungle Cruise so a group of us stayed until closing so we could be on his last cruise. The boat was filled with his friends and he went through it really slowly telling all of his favorite jokes. It was awesome. After the ride the park was completely empty as we walked out. It was kind of eerie....but still cool!

Re: How late have you stayed?

I was on the last ride of FNSV at around 1:30 at night, and as we were leaving, the captain said to us, "Good night...or depending on how you look at it, good morning."
