Important Notes

  • For nearly 60 years, Grad Night at Disneyland® Resort has been a special tradition for graduates. Disney has updated its Grad Night behavior guidelines and will strictly enforce them.
  • Our group is attending as general guests, not through Disney's official Grad Night program, but we will still follow Grad Night rules.
  • This trip is not a school-sponsored event. It is organized independently to celebrate our graduates.
  • Only graduating seniors may attend.
  • Students must travel to and from Disneyland via the provided charter buses (exceptions only with administrative approval for parent/guardian transport).
  • Should a student be asked to leave the park, the parent or guardian must make transportation arrangements for the student to return home.
  • Permission Slip and Waiver must be signed and submitted.
