As our 50th Grad Nite season comes to an end, we are excited to announce new twists and enhancements coming in 2012 and 2013 to this traditional rite of passage so many of us experienced as high school graduates.

 

In 2012, Grads will have more time, more flexibility and more room for their celebration at the Disneyland Resort including the opportunity to enter Disneyland park or Disney California Adventure park at any time during their Grad Nite visit. Students will receive a park hopper ticket allowing them a full day to experience both parks!

 

In addition, 2012 Grads will now receive a special FASTPASS option to use during their visit and a private showing of “Fantasmic!” to kick off the exclusive private party that begins when Disneyland park closes.

 

Beginning in 2013, the private party will move to Disney California Adventure park where Grads will enjoy all the newest offerings including an exclusive “World of Color” viewing and the new Cars Land.

 

As these pictures show, our Grad Nites have become an important milestone for millions of graduating seniors in the last five decades, and we are excited to share new experiences as Grad Nites evolve just like the Disneyland Resort continues to evolve each year. We look forward to celebrating many future classes to come!

It sounds like in 2013, the Grad Nites are permanently moving over to DCA. That sounds like a really bad idea :/ Disneyland is packed as it is during those things, and the park hopper idea is pretty great. Completely moving it to DCA would be a disaster.

^^ Love that old pic! Are the grads still required to dress up? Thinking back on it, that's one of the biggest things that made my Grad Nite at WDW so cool and unique. It's certainly the only time I've ever ridden Space Mountain in a shirt and tie.....or probably ever will again for that matter!
