Princess Aurora Sings Live at Disneyland's After-Hours Sweethearts' Nite

Overview

• Princess Aurora performed “Once Upon a Dream” live in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle during the 2026 Sweethearts’ Nite after-hours event.
• The live singing marks a break from typical Disneyland After Dark character encounters that center on photos and autographs rather than musical numbers.
• Access is limited to Sweethearts’ Nite ticket holders, with the separately ticketed event running select nights in January and February from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. and pre-entry from 6 p.m.
• Attendee videos on TikTok show strong enthusiasm, with guests calling the moment exceptionally rare and requesting more live singers in the parks.
• Disney’s lineup includes “Once Upon a Dream: A Musical Journey Through the Disney Songbook,” and coverage suggests similar offerings could expand if positive response continues.
