Grad Nights at Resorts?

[luvthatduke]

Inspired by some comments made on
some other threads, I'm really curious
to know if Grad Nights impact the resorts?
I'm assuming if they do, it would be values?
We are at ASMo over both April weekends
with Grad Nights.

I was under the assumption that those nights
at MK were for the Grads, & they were locals.
Therefore, the resorts themselves wouldn't
be affected because the Grads would be in the park all night.
But, more than one DIS'r posted about
the Grads at the values (not to be confused w/the cheerleaders).

Does anyone have any info/knowledge about this?
Not that we'll be changing our plans,
but it would be nice to be prepared...

TIA!

I am from NJ, and attended a Grad Night in 1979!!!! We stayed offsite.

I just mentioned it so that you would know that it isn't just for locals....

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't sure...

Both my neice and nephew went to Grad nights and were both from out of state. Their group did stay at All Star. In fact they had about 400 come with them from their class.

Even if they are from Florida many will spend the night unless they are from Central Florida.

Disney does a package for them that includes lodging.
