Grad Night or is it a Grad Week?

[2princessintraining]

I know that the MK will be closed to tourists by 7pm on the 22/23 & 29/30 of April for Grad Nights, but is the WDW resort as a whole open to the seniors? Do they stay at any of the resorts for a special package? We are arriving on the 22-30, and I am concerned about the impact of all the high school seniors. I am sure it will be more crowded during the weekend, but what am I to do, it is our school districts spring break as well.

I have read from other threads that they mainly stay at the AS resorts, anyone find that it is busier than other times during this week?

Anyone who can put my mind at ease, or not, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The local seniors don't stay at the resorts, so they shouldn't be a problem. Before I moved to Florida, I visited at the end of May several times and had no problem with groups of seniors. Don't worry, life's too short!

We have been there during grad nights (and once we stayed at ASMo) and we didn't have any problem with the kids there. I don't think many of them stay overnight.

I have had issues in the past with large groups of teenagers in the parks around the days of grad nights. Sorry, but I purposely avoid visiting WDW at that time of year since our bad experience a couple years ago with very loud, line-cutting groups of high school seniors.

Most schools don't even leave for grad nights until later that evening so there shouldn't be too many seniors there during the day. I came down from Jacksonville Fl for my grad night and we got there when the event started and left about 3 am or so. But not so sure about the ones that come from outside of florida. I am sure you will be fine. Line cutters and rude teenagers can happen at any time... so just have a good time and don't worry about it!!
