But instead of seeing other popular couples like Cinderella & Prince Charming or Aladdin & Jasmine what came next were some major surprises that almost nobody expected…
Some rare couples like Stitch & Angel (Tomorrowland) and Naveen & Tiana (New Orleans Square)…

But even rarer appearances from Mary Poppins & Burt (Train Station), Bernard & Miss Bianca from The Rescuers (New Orleans) and Milo & Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Tomorrowland) all made appearances.

It was quite the spurs seeing some of these characters after a long time, especially characters like Milo & Kida. Ever since the Disney Parks closed in 2020 and reopened within the last year the appearances from Disney characters has been very limited. As time goes on we will of course see more and more characters return, but some of these characters hadn’t been seen for quite some time.
There are still four more dates scheduled for the Sweethearts’ Nite events so it is possible that we may see even more classic and even obscure Disney couples appear to share their love with all the park guests and attendees.Â
Do you plan on visiting the parks on any of these dates?
