There are so many wonderful traditions and events at Walt Disney World, but I’m sorry to report that Grad Night, an exclusive evening event for high school seniors, is no longer held at Walt Disney World. For teens of the 70s, 80s and 90s, it was that big night when you'd get all dressed up just to sweat your butt off in the humid heat at Disney World! An exclusive event held for high school seniors, Disney Grad Nite in Orlando brings back lots of great memories.

Context Explanation

Why did Disney World stop Grad Nites? Disney World decided to stop Grad Nites due to concerns over scheduling and higher spring attendance that would be impacted by the events. Grad Nites are an annual event at Disneyland Resort for graduating high school seniors featuring an after-hours party at night in Disney California Adventure and daytime admission to both parks. Since the 1970’s Disney World’s Grad Nite has been an annual rite of passage for high school seniors, but after this spring’s event at the Magic Kingdom, the tradition will be shattered.
