When is grad nite at disneyland

On days including a Grad Nite that evening, arriving early is more important than ever. If you have the option to choose — or if you have park hopper tickets — I recommend you start a Grad Nite day at California Adventure. Review this post on how to start your day at DCA. Following this plan will make all the difference in your visit. If you have one-park-per-day tickets and want to stay late, Disneyland may be a better place for you to start.

Review this post on how to start your day at Disneyland. Be sure to know how to use them, which attractions include a Single Rider line and what that means and how to use Rider Swap and what that means. This post shares all of that with you and more, including how MaxPass works. As much as I love dining packages, I would avoid reserving these on a Grad Nite if possible.

Some guests — even with the most ambitious plans — simply get overwhelmed with the students and decide to leave early. Save dining packages for another day during your visit.

Also consider watching a parade or show on another evening. Many graduates will want to see parades and shows before heading over to DCA, adding to the already crowded show.

There are so many fun places to eat. Take a look at my post encompassing all dining at the Disneyland Resort to see what works for your crew.

I much prefer this over waiting for a table. And, Downtown Disney restaurants can get busy quickly. Consider more of Downtown Disney — beyond dining — for entertainment outside of the park. Shopping, bowling, the Lego Store and more will keep everyone busy.

Disney asks chaperones to work with them in keeping grads in line. A cast member can narrow down the responsible party if kids are misbehaving.

Know what to do at Disneyland and DCA on super crowded days. The Grad Nites are on the 28th and 29th, so I was thinking of using my Magic Morning hours on the 30th when all the teens are tired. I would spend 3 at Disneyland and one at DCA. Hi Casey! Thank you for all your helpful tips! I am planning for us to go over to Universal Studios for the day on Tuesday, the 11th to avoid Grad Night that day. However, regarding Wednesday the 12th, I was thinking of going to the Disneyland parks early that morning before the Grad Night crowds come then hanging out at the hotel pools in the afternoon.

Any suggestions on what we should consider doing that evening or even if we should plan something else that morning? Thanks so much for your advice!! We have a 3 day pass. This will be our first trip to the park, 2 adults and a five year old. Thanks so much for your article. We are travelling all the way from Austria, we will be in california only from the 10th of may to the I really wanna take my son only one day to the disneyland park.

Which day would be the best to avoid crowds and really enjoy everything, friday 10, saturday 11 or sunday 12 of may? What is worst? Crowded saturday? Friday grad night? Mothers day? We are going Friday may , I was looking and saw that some people the memorial weekend is not that crowed.

What is you thinking on this weekend? Be prepared with a good plan. Arrive an hour prior to official park opening. Do you know specifically which schools in the U.

S will be going to Grad Night May 18, by any chance? We will get a 3 day park hopper for 29th, 30th and 31st of May, the first two days of which are grad nites. My plan is to use early entry at Disneyland on the 29th, go on as many rides we can until the park gets too busy, then chill in the afternoon. Similarly on the 30th we will go as early as possible to DCA and go on as much as we can, again taking a break when things get too busy.

My question is, is it possible or practical to see all the parades two parks in one night? If that sounds too ambitious, which parade should we aim to see the night before on a grad nite?
