Disneyland Grad Nites Entertainment
The celebration takes place in California Adventure and includes a live DJ with a dance party in the park that begins at 9PM and goes until 2AM.
Party attendees are also treated to a special World of Color show called Grad Nite GOODNITE which is shown during each event. Guests can also expect to experience plenty of special characters, themed treats and dining and special merchandise for the event.
Disneyland Grad Nite Guidelines
Disneyland still requires students to adhere to their dress code and behavior guidelines. You can find these guidelines on the Disneyland website under “Field Trips.” Chaperones must be over the age of 25 and there must be one chaperone per 10 students. For every 20 student tickets purchased, the school will receive one complimentary chaperone ticket of the same option.
Disneyland Grad Nite Crowds
If you're not attending Disneyland Grad Nites and these celebrations happen to concede with your vacation, often many guests are left wondering: how will this affect my trip?
The biggest impact this will have on your trip is the early closing of California Adventure at 9PM on the days at Grad Nites is held so that is something to take note of. Plan on staying late at California Adventure on the days Grad Nites is not being held so you can experience the park later in the evening when it stays open until its usual closing time of 10PM. Disney will still show World of Color to regular park guests on the evening of Grad Nites at 8PM so don't worry- you will still get to experience that on even on regular park nights!
You will see a slight increase of crowds in the parks on the days that Grad Nites is taking place but it's not nearly as bad as some guests expect it to be. We have been in the parks during Grad Nite event days and only noticed a small increase in park crowds which was more noticeable in the evenings. As long as you're following our morning strategy for Disneyland and California Adventure, you should be able to still get plenty done.
