Grad Nights

[Sandysbuddy]

We will be going to DL for the first time May 28-30 and I just realized that there is a Grad Night on the 28th and the 30th. How bad are the crowds going to be? Should I be concerned about their behavior? We have been to DW numerous times and I have read about the previous problems there with Grad Nights. Is there a plan we should follow in order to get more done and avoid some of the crowd?

Grads do tend to result in more crowds in the evening but usually it is not overwhelmingly bad. This thread has some tips:

We wil be going on May 31...also a Grad night I think. According to touringplans.com, the crowd level is on the low side. Why, on a Saturday with a grad night would there not be a projected larger crowd??

Easy question. It is because TP crowd predictions for DLR are fundamentally flawed.
