We're planning a trip for May 2004, and I was wondering if the dates for Grad Nights have been set yet. We want to stay at the Poly for easy access to MK, and I'm not sure how Grad Nights will affect our plans. Are they something to avoid at all costs, or will they not impact us much at all?? We were looking forward to watching the fireworks from the beach, and I heard that the fireworks are cancelled on Grad Nights. Any advice would be very much appreciated!!
 
We were at WL during some grad nights this year (5/1-5/6). Unfortunately, I don't know about the dates for next year. I didn't really affect our stay we did notice it. However, we'd go again at that time. First, MK closed early on 5/2 & I think 5/3 as did MGM which made Epcot really crowded. The grads are from local HS and don't stay at WDW so during the day it was fine. We did have a room facing MK and the music could be heard in our room but not so we couldn't sleep.
 
Because of the Grad Nites this year the park hours were shorter. Since the parks closed at like 7, there was no fantasy in the sky but there was a firework show at midnite for the grads.
 
I had friends who camped at Ft Wilderness and they said the noise carried over the water to a point of no sleep.

Other than that Funky Rooster hit it on the head.

Woke me up from a sound sleep at Midnight all four nights. (two weeks)
