Date Nite at Disneyland: supplemental content

In yesterdays post I had a picture collage of some old promotional material for Date Nite. Below are those pieces pieced out so you can have a better look. My favorite is the first one promoting the "Football Kick-off Rally". Sounds like that would have been fun. The comment below that tag says you could meet your team so I would assume the players may have gotten in free that night. Then to the right we see "School Songs and Yells". that would have been fun too. I would imagine if that was done nowadays that it would end in violence or a riot between two rival schools. Just kidding but it does seem like a great event.

Dancing on the Mark Twain Riverboat... Yes Please!

Quite the musical lineup.

 The days of good hours in the park. Midnight 

every summer night.1:00 a.m. Friday and 

Saturday. Take that Magic Hours.

Date Nite at Disneyland

One of many promotional events from the early years, Date Nite was a weekend event that would mix the enjoyment of visiting Disneyland at night, Live music, and a chance to take that special someone someplace magical. Date Nite ran from the 1950's till the early 1970's. Some nights the park would stay open till 1 a.m. and occasionally they would host special theme nights. The event even had its own song called... Let's Dance at Disneyland. Performed by the Elliott Brothers and the Disneyland Date-Niters. At the bottom of the page I have included a link to the Manifesting the Magic YouTube page where I have posted the song along with some black and white photos from Prom Night 1961 to give you a feel of what Date Nite might have felt like.
