Grad Nights 2016

[NJlauren]

I have been searching for the 2016 grad nights to be released and came across this http://www.grad-nights.com/gradnightcalifornia.htm

Assuming it is accurate I will get 1 grad night in my 3 night stay. However we are only planning on doing 2 full park days and maybe a morning, one of the full park days is a grad night (May 18th). Is this a big enough deal that I should shift the days of my trip?

To make it so I hit no grad nights would really mess up the rest of the vacation, so unless it is the absolute worst I would rather stick with my days, any experiences on grad nights would be appreciated!

I'm not sure about other folks opinions, but it just seems a tad more crowded on the Grad Nights days. The time I went, certain attractions were a bit more crowded (I remember Haunted Mansion had a particularly tough wait time), but I didn't see it systemically affecting the park. I know I went on a Saturday, so one would think that Friday and/or Saturday would be the worst of it? I would think with May 18 being a Wednesday, you should be okay, but I've also heard horror stories as well. I just don't know if its worth messing up the rest of your trip.

Also, I think DL is losing a lot of its slow season anyways, so I wonder if it would be a huge change from other Wednesdays in May.
