Updating our first Grad Night experience. It was last Friday, and we did EE at DCA. Crowds were very low for the first several hours, we rode GOTG and then WS x 4 all walk on in EE and into the first part of regular park entry. We saw a few groups of grad in matching shirts in the morning, but not many.
We hoped to DL in the afternoon, and while there were some groups who were a little noisy in lines like Indy, we really were not bothered by the grads at all. We used G+ for everything, and it was a great day! My DDs did go over to DCA around 7:45pm to get some food, and they said it was getting very crowded with grads all over the place. We didn’t go back into to DCA that night; we returned to GCH via DTD.
In the future,I would not let a grad night cause me to change my plans at all. It was a non-issue to us for the most part.
