In Southern California for many high school graduates, the overnight trip to the Disneyland Resort is a rite of passage. Many high school grads have happy memories and stories to tell of their Grad Nite at The Happiest Place on Earth! For many years, these were held inside of Disneyland. Now, they are held at Disney California Adventure. On select nights during the graduation season, the park closes at 9:00 PM and then fills up with high schoolers who are graduating for a night of celebration.
This year’s Grad Nites will be offered on 15 nights throughout May and June. On each of these days and nights, expect there to be an inordinate amount of high schoolers in both parks during the day. In the evening, shortly before Disney California Adventure closes, there will be even more as they all congregate in the park for their overnight celebration. This year’s Grad Nites are offered on the following dates:
