For a Disney date night that's fun and memorable without breaking the bank, head to the Downtown Disney District. Along with delightful dining and some of the resort's best shopping, lovebirds can also enjoy live music. We especially love the smooth rhythms of Flambeaux's Jazz Club at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen.

Security opens at 7 a.m. (or an hour before the earliest park opening). You'll see the hotel guests with Early Entry and people who want to rope drop speed racing through Downtown Disney to the theme parks.

If you have an After Hours ticket for Magic Kingdom, you'll be able to enter the park with just your event ticket starting at 7:00 PM. If possible, we highly recommend you do that because that means you'll have 3 hours before the event officially begins to enjoy a few rides and, more importantly, catch the fireworks.
