Disneyland Valentine’s Day 2025 – Photo Ops, Food, Special Decorations

Well, with the expansion of the main Valentine's Day special event (details below) and the newly released Disneyland Valentine's Day menu we are on a good track.

  1. We are planning a trip to Disneyland February 2023. Do we need to purchase a separate tickets for the Valentine couples at night or is this included in our daily pass?

  2. I want to see the princes and princesses such as Mickey, Minnie, Snow White, her prince, Cinderella, Prince Charming, Tinker Bell, Aurora, Phillip, Mary Poppins, Bert, Ariel, Eric, Belle, Beast, Aladdin, Jasmine, Pocahontas, John Smith, Mulan, Shang, Tiana, Naveen, Rapunzel, Eugene, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, and Elena because they have to sign my books and big Valentine paper.

  3. Thank you! I came across your tweet from 2024 and wanted to clarify if this is the lineup for 2025’s food or if it is just going off of Feb. 2024’s food.
