Grad night food question!!

[tlovesdis]

Hi everyone,

Hoping someone will know this answer! My cousin is attending Grad Night in May and she just told her mom that she was told no food places are open at all in DL during grad night.

Is that correct? Seems odd that the kids can't get anything to eat!

Thanks,
Tina

I haven't found it for sure, but I am fairly certain they will be as according to the rules they aren't allowed to bring any snacks, including candy, gum mints, and no fluids, including water into the park. I am sure Disney will have lots of things available to buy. They want a teenagers $$ as much as they want everyone else's

I'm sure something will be open for the kids to eat on GN. also, I wonder why they would say no outside food/drink for GN when they allow it all other times? That seems wrong to me.

Because those pesky teens can't be trusted It's just a way to ensure they aren't sneaking in drugs or alcohol etc. Now, there's nothing to stop anybody ELSE from doing that on any other day, but I guess they feel a large group of teens is more a risk of doing so?

ETA: That does seem quite extreme the more I think of it. I understand that they think teens are more "risky" than regular guests, but not even a bottle of water?

Below is a list of items NOT allowed in the park:

Any clothing affiliated with a school, sports team, group, club, etc. (i.e. letterman jackets, clothing with school logos, etc.)
Clothing not in good repair (torn jeans, shirts, etc.). Jeans are OK as long as they are not ripped or torn.
Extremely revealing clothing (i.e. bathing suit tops or bottoms, see-through clothing, etc.)
Hats (official Disneyland merchandise acceptable) and other head attire, including beanies and wigs
All backpacks, briefcases, hip packs, camera bags, tote bags, and oversized purses larger than 8-1/2" x 11". Small purses and fanny packs are OK.
Cameras, cell phones, and pagers are OK. Camera and cell phone cases are not allowed.
Shoes with skate wheels are not allowed. Tennis shoes and sandals are OK.
Weapons, knives, chemical irritants of any kind, laser pointers
Prescription medication (inhalers are ok)
Over-the-counter medications
Tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, etc.) and related materials (lighters, matches, pipes, etc.)
Alcohol or any controlled substance
Bandanas (either worn or hanging from belt loops/pockets etc.)
Glass containers and/or fluids of any kind. This includes water, any drinks and perfumes
Snack items include but are not limited to gum/mints/candy (no candy containers)
Spiked style jewelry or belts
Aerosol cans/bottles

Yep. No oranges injected with vodka on GN.

Just found this on the Grad Nite FAQ's:

Do our students need money once inside the park?

Your students will need spending money for food and souvenir merchandise. A large selection of Disneyland Grad Nite merchandise is available for your students to choose from.

So OP, rest assured there will be food and drink available!
