The Experience

Disneyland After Dark: Disney Channel Nite is a separately ticketed after-hours event at Disneyland Park celebrating the beloved shows, characters, and music of the Disney Channel. The Disney Channel Nite Dining Package lets guests anchor their evening with a sit-down meal at a participating Disneyland restaurant, ensuring they are fed and ready before the event’s entertainment gets fully underway.

• Disney Channel–themed menu items may be featured at select restaurants, with specialty dishes and drinks reflecting the spirit of the evening
• Priority positioning or reserved access for select Disney Channel Nite entertainment, depending on the specific package booked

Booking Notes

• A valid Disneyland After Dark: Disney Channel Nite event ticket is required separately from the dining package
• Dining packages must be reserved in advance through Disney’s dining system and are subject to availability

• All dining packages are paid out of pocket; the Disneyland Resort does not currently offer a dining plan credit system equivalent to Walt Disney World’s

Dining Plan Information

The Disneyland Resort does not offer a Disney Dining Plan equivalent to Walt Disney World’s, so Disney Channel Nite Dining Packages are paid entirely out of pocket at time of booking. Pricing varies by participating restaurant and package tier and is subject to change between event years. Check the Disneyland website for current per-person rates and package tier details before booking.

About Disneyland After Dark: Disney Channel Nite Dining Package

Disneyland After Dark events are among the most beloved offerings in Disney’s special-event calendar — limited-capacity evenings built around a single theme, with entertainment, character experiences, and atmosphere that can’t be replicated during regular park hours. Disney Channel Nite speaks directly to guests who grew up watching the network’s programming and want to revisit those characters and shows in an immersive, after-hours setting.

The dining package exists to solve one of the practical challenges of any after-hours event: the best entertainment moments often happen before guests have had a chance to eat. By reserving a table at a participating Disneyland restaurant, guests can enjoy a full meal during the early portion of the event, then move freely through the park for characters, entertainment, and attractions without the distraction of hunger or the lines that form at quick-service locations during popular events.

River Belle Terrace, one of the most atmospheric table-service restaurants in Disneyland Park, has historically participated in Disneyland After Dark dining packages, offering a proper sit-down experience in a setting that feels naturally suited to a nostalgic evening. The combination of a quality meal, the lower-crowd advantage of an after-hours event, and rare character encounters makes the Disney Channel Nite Dining Package a worthwhile investment for any fan of the Disney Channel era.
