Just saw this. I was thinking about a DL trip in May. Does anyone have any experience with Grad Nites as a non Grad? We would obviously not be looking to attend but we're wondering if those are dates we actually should avoid as normal guests. Does it feel more crowded? More rowdy? Etc.

Thanks! We're hopefully going for Star Wars night in May. We'll stay for a few days and I was hoping there wouldn't be any grad nites right around the same time. Of course I don't know the Star Wars dates but I'm assuming May 3 & 4 like last year.

Avoid at all costs.

More crowded. Teens being teens in all the queues. It was a new experience for us and we vowed never to go back again during a Grad nite day.

As for the Grad nite attendees, they seemed to be having a blast.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the heads up.

We were there the same day as three Grad Nites during Memorial Day week and honestly I didn't really notice it. Other than DCA closing earlier on those dates, I wouldn't call it a dealbreaker. We did notice more teens in the park but didn't have any issues.
